CARE TIP 1:
Vacuum your carpets three times a week using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate) filter.

CARE TIP 2:
Remove stains and spills as promptly as possible. This is best achieved with Chem-Dry carpet cleaning products, such as their Professional Strength Spot Remover. Remove as much excess as possible, then apply and blot with a clean white cloth. DO NOT rub the spot as this might grind the stain in further.

CARE TIP 3:
Have your carpets cleaned and protected at least twice a year by Chem-Dry, or more often if you have children or pets. The Environmental Protection Agency recommends having carpets professionally cleaned by a carpet cleaning service , a minimum of every six months!

Traffic Lane Gray
Like all textiles, carpets will eventually show signs of wear. The wear creates an illusion of soiling, which often causes frustration and misunderstanding between the homeowners and carpet care experts. Even though a carpet has been cleaned, it does not mean the traffic areas will look clean. Traffic areas are those places where people are constantly walking or working. This situation creates what is called "traffic lane gray".

There is not a lot that a carpet care expert can do with traffic lane gray. When a 10-year old carpet is cleaned, you will end up with a clean 10-year old carpet. It may not appear the way you had hoped. The easiest way to slow down this process is by rearranging the furniture so traffic areas are changed or just add area rugs.
