The Lowest Surface in Your Home

Homes tend to have a lot of different surfaces in them. They have counter tops, stove tops, and other surface that are used for meal preparation. They have desk tops that are used for office work. But one of the largest surfaces in your home — probably the largest surface — is your floor. It's easy to overlook your floor and take it for granted, but without it, you wouldn't really have a home. As such, we thought we would start one of few blogs about flooring. It's a surface we should all appreciate more, and one we all need in our lives.

Keeping The Carpeting In Your Home Maintained

The carpeting in your home will need to be protected against some of the more commonly encountered sources of damage. Otherwise, the homeowner may find that their carpet degrades far more quickly or that its appearance is compromised. These issues could lead to the carpeting needing to be replaced to preserve the look that the homeowner was wanting for the interior of their house. 

Not Using Protective Foot Pads For The Furniture On The Carpet

The furniture can be a major contributing source of carpet damage and problems. The weight of the furniture will be concentrated in the feet that hold up these items. Unfortunately, this can lead to the furniture gradually cutting or warping the carpet that is under the feet. In extreme cases, this may even cause large holes to form where furniture items have been placed. Luckily, this is an issue that is relatively simple for a homeowner to avoid. There are small protective coverings that can be placed on the feet of the furniture.

Failing To Steam Clean The Carpet At Regular Intervals

The carpeting in your home will benefit greatly from undergoing regular steam cleaning sessions. These sessions will allow for dirt and grime that is deep in the fibers of the carpet to be lifted out. In addition to keeping the colors in the carpet vibrant, this can also help to eliminate odors that the carpet fibers may have been absorbing. While steam cleaning the carpet can be an involved process, there are residential carpeting services that can offer steam cleaning services for their clients. This can ensure that all of the carpeting in your home is thoroughly cleaned while avoiding the need for you to spend several hours or longer of your time doing this work.

Allowing Small Damages To The Carpet To Worsen

Over the years, there may be small rips, warped sections, or loose fibers that develop with your carpeting. At the first sign of these issues, you will want to take steps to start repairs to avoid the risk of the damage growing in size and complexity. In some cases, you may even find that a seemingly small rip or tear could require the entire room's carpeting to need to be replaced. However, if you are diligent about having these damages patched soon after forming, you can help to keep the total repair costs low while also avoiding substantial impacts on the appearance of the carpeted flooring in your home.
