“What Kind Of Carpet Should I Buy?”

This is a toughie… it’s like asking, “what kind of car should I buy?” Actually, the answer to either question would be: How do you plan on using it?

With regard to carpeting, ask yourself these two questions: (1) In which room will you be installing it and (2) what kind of use will it get?

Most retail carpet stores will NEVER ask you these two questions. Why? All they want is to make the sale. They simply do not care if you make a good choice for your home or not.

Here are some things you should know:
Buy a good pad — denser is better – 6 pound weight is the minimum.
Check the warranty. The longer it is, the better quality carpet you will get.
100% nylon fiber is best for busy households with kids, pets and messy husbands.

Berber carpet is the weave of a carpet, it’s not the fiber type. Most Berber weaves are made of olefin. It looks great in the store but I can’t recommend it.

Please feel free to call me with ANY questions!

“Why can’t I just clean my Carpeting myself?”

You can do it yourself. Here’s how: 

This is what Shaw Carpets, the largest carpet manufacturer in the world, recommends for DIY cleaning: 

1. Make sure the carpet will dry quicklyThe cleaning equipment you select should have enough vacuum power to allow the carpet  to dry within 6 to 12 hours after cleaning. Units that do not have the power to extract the cleaning solution from the carpet adequately may actually damage the carpet due to over wetting.

 2. Do not use excessive detergent Use a cleaning solution with a pH less than 10, preferably near 9. The attraction between the detergent and the soil and oil particles is critical during the cleaning process. However, if it isn’t rinsed completely, the buildup of detergent residue is the most common cause of accelerated re-soiling complaints. Shaw also recommends a clear-water rinse after cleaning.

3. Know your warranty guidelines Carpet with stain resistant treatments must be cleaned with products formulated for this purpose, or the stain resistance will be impaired and the warranty voided. Do not use cleaning or spotting solutions that contain bleaches or optical brighteners. 

 OR… it would be a whole lot easier (and safer) to have the pros at Commander Carpet Care do it for you.
