Prolong carpet’s life
with proper cleaning

YOU COULDN'T blame a
carpet for complaining
about being walked all over.

So you shouldn’t blame it for
occasionally showing the effects of
daily use, especially in high traffic
areas, such as halls, stairs and
doorways.

There are, however, steps you
can take to prolong the life of
your carpet and enjoy its beauty
for years to come.

Try these tips for a carpet that
Icoks good, feels good — and
lasts longer.

“The three best ways to keep
your carpet looking new are:
vacuum, vacuum and = vacuum)’
says Robert Kennedy of Technical
Services at Peerless Carpets.

Use an upright or canister
model with brush-type
powerhead.

To avoid excessive pile crush,
move the furniture and always
vacuum in four directions.

And when vacuuming is not
enough, call in a professional
carpet cleaner.

fading, science has yet to develop
a color that will not fade with
time,

Draw shades or draperies where
the sun shines in to help keep your
carpet from showing its age.
® Help your carpet wear more
evenly by rearranging your fur-
niture occasionally. It will change
traffic patterns — and give you 2
new look.

@ Place dirt-collecting walk-off
mats outside and inside doorways.
You'll protect your carpet — and
cut down on cleaning.

@ Should a wayward fibre pop up
from your cut pile carpet, don’t
pull, Just clip it off at pile level.

@ Change filters in your heating
and air-conditioning systems reg-
ularly. Your carpet and your en-
tire house will stay cleaner longer.
@ Choose who cleans your carpet
and how it is cleaned carefully.
Your carpet’s life depends on it!

@ Preventive maintenance is the
best care for a carpet. Begin to
care for your carpet from the day
iv’s installed... and you'll enjoy
your carpet investment for many
years to come.
