Carpet diem! In new homes across the country and around the world, carpeting is a modern fixture that provides insulation and warmth. It also adds style and character to a room or home.
Carpet is what we know best. Not only do we get them clean without using chemicals or shampoos that leave residue, but we also know this fancy flooring inside and out. Here are some tips from some other carpet connoisseurs who can help you decide what type of carpet will work best in your home. You can thank us later!
- Fibers first. When adding carpet to your home, be sure to pay close attention to the fibers. There are three main types that will help keep you covered, or carpeted.
- Polypropylene. This carpet is made of sturdy polymers that are found in plastic and is extremely durable, which is something to consider when choosing carpet for a high-traffic area of your home. But be careful — sun and heat can degrade this kind of carpet over time. This carpet type doesn’t easily absorb water. Because of this, cleaning can be tricky. Traditional detergents and shampoos can rise to the surface, leaving residue behind. Avoid this issue altogether, and just let us handle the mess. We promise not to leave anything behind except clean carpets!
- Nylon. This is probably the most common type of carpet used in both residential and commercial settings. Experts say it has a longer lifespan than polypropylene. It doesn’t shed and can hold shape, unlike other types of carpeting. Nylon is easy to clean and is a good option for people with pets.
- Wool. Not only is wool used to make those itchy socks and sweaters that can keep you warm in winter weather, it’s also a common carpet fiber. It stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Wool carpet can cost more than other traditional types, but it’s easily a fan favorite.
There are a lot of choices when it comes to deciding what kind of carpet will work best for your space. Always be sure to do your homework to learn exactly what materials you are putting inside your home or office. And don’t forget, when it comes time for your new carpet’s first professional cleaning – we will be there to help. Enjoying the benefits of a beautifully carpeted home should be a luxury, not a burden brought on by troublesome cleaning tactics.
