Minimizing Wear From Carpet Traffic Patterns

Carpet fibers are designed to reflect light, giving carpets a rich, luxurious appearance. When this reflective quality is obscured, carpets look dull and dirty. Dirt is the main cause of compromised fabric light reflection, not only because it accumulates and settles in carpeting, obstructing light reflection, but also because sharp dirt particles grind against carpet fibers and cause matting and abrasive damage. In fact, the illusion of dirty, soiled carpeting may persist even after the carpet is cleaned, because matting and abrasion are permanent carpet damage.

How to Prevent Premature Wear

Although all carpeting eventually wears out and needs to be replaced, there are a few preventative measures you can take that will make a world of difference on how many years of use you will get from your carpeting. Dirt and grit lodged in carpeting will scratch and tear carpet fibers as people walk across the carpet. Reducing or removing that dirt and grit is incredibly important for avoiding premature wear of carpeting. How? Through the use of door mats, regular vacuuming, and professional cleaning

Door Mats

You can dramatically reduce the amount of dirt your carpets are exposed to by placing door mats in entrances. Different materials for door mats, such as nylon, polyester, wool, rubber, or vinyl, offer different looks and benefits, but any door mat is better than none. Door mats help absorb moisture, dirt, and debris that would otherwise end up on your carpet.

Vacuuming

Regular vacuuming, even when carpets don’t look like they need to be vacuumed, will not only lift and rejuvenate the shape of carpet fibers, but it will also reduce the accumulation and settling of dry soils and dirt that causes carpet fibers to break down.

Professional Cleaning

Even with regular vacuuming, moist soils and sharp dirt particles can remain lodged in carpet fibers. Professional carpet cleaning removes embedded dirt and other clingy contaminants, such as grease, oil particles, and gasses. Although professional cleaning will not undo existing abrasive damage and matting, it will help minimize
further damage and refresh the appearance of your carpeting.

I was absolutely blown away by the exceptional hardwood floor and limestone cleaning service I received from Sante Fe Floor Care for my new construction home. Rodrick, our technician, was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also incredibly professional and courteous. He took the time to explain the entire process, the type of solution they use, and the best practices for future maintenance.

The results were nothing short of spectacular. My floors look brand new! The attention to detail and the care he took in cleaning every nook and cranny was truly impressive. I highly recommend Sante Fe Floor Care to anyone seeking top-notch cleaning services, especially for new construction homes. They exceeded my expectations in every way.

We have been using the services of Santa Fe carpet and floors for almost 10 years. We have always been very pleased with the results. The team does excellent work and I'm always very comfortable with them in our home. This visit included tile floor and grout cleaning, and the results were amazing. Thank you, Santa Fe for your excellent work and commitment!

Bryan was very professional. He called to inform me he was on his way. Arrived on time and answered all my questions in detail. The carpet had some heavy traffic areas the were quite dirty. They all came out and it looks and smells terrific. I also had grout cleaned and I am very happy with the work. A visible difference in the kitchen and bathroom. I highly recommend Santa Fe. I have used them for over 15 years and they are consistent in their high quality service.

Very knowledgeable, professional and punctual! We purchased a nine year old home in Sun City, all tile floors with two carpeted bedrooms. The home had been well cared for but the floors needed attention. Mr. Young came out, measured everything and visited with us, made suggestions and then clearly explained the process. We received a very fair quote and all the work was done well within a tight time frame. The floors are stunning! He also did a lovely job on a huge, 40 year old wool oriental carpet. We highly recommend Santa Fe Floor Care!!!
