There are many choices today when it comes to new carpet. At Dobson’s Flooring America, we carry a diverse selection of the highest quality flooring products to accommodate the different needs of each of our customers.
Like all products, there comes a time for replacing and updating your carpet. This depends on several factors. In many cases, people become tired of the style or color before the carpet actually appears worn. Most carpets are made of synthetic fibers such as nylon, olefin, polyester, and Sorona®. These fibers are generally tough and have a long lifespan, but can eventually show wear in the high traffic areas.
Carpet fibers are translucent and allow light to pass through them. To make a comparison, carpet fibers are similar to Plexiglas. Just like Plexiglas, carpet fibers become scratched and dull looking overtime due to dirt and grit being rubbed against the fibers by walking on the carpet. Depending on the volume of traffic in your home or office and the quality of the carpet, replacement may become necessary after four to six years. Obviously, with children or pets, carpet replacement might be required sooner than later! The time to replace the carpet will become obvious because professional cleaning alone will no longer improve the appearance of the carpeting.
When you walk into Dobson’s Flooring America, our carpet experts will greet you and talk with you to find out your specific needs. Based on an assessment, our experts can walk you through our showroom, presenting the various products that fit your lifestyle.
As soon as you’ve picked your new carpet and arranged installation, it’s important to take preventative measures to keep your new carpet looking great for as long as possible. Here are a couple of tips we remind our customers daily:
- Mats – Placing mats outside entry ways provides protection from outside elements that might be tracked in. In addition, indoor mats near the kitchen and other rooms with solid flooring that adjoin the carpeted areas is important to keep the dirt and debris from making it to the carpet.
- Regular Vacuuming – It’s important that you vacuum your carpet on a weekly basis. Depending on the type of carpet you purchased, it may be necessary to vacuum at least three times a week to keep carpet fibers looking fresh!
- Professional Carpet Cleaning – Similar to vacuuming recommendations, it’s important to have your carpet professionally steam cleaned on a regular basis. It is typically recommended that your carpet is cleaned once a year. Check your manufacturer’s warranty for professional cleaning requirements.
