Carpet Care Tips
Looking for tips on how to clean carpet flooring? Our expert cleaning tips will help you tackle even the toughest messes, using simple, effective techniques and readily available cleaning products.
High Pile & Premium Soft Carpet
Use the highest adjustable height setting where appropriate. Avoid vacuums with very concentrated or sealed suction.
Your vacuum should glide easily across the carpet, making large wheels the best choice.
Thick Loop, Casual Frieze or Long Pile Carpet
You may need to completely disengage the beater bar and vacuum with suction only.
All Other Carpet Constructions
Use a vacuum with a rotating brush or beater bar. Change the bags often, and check the beater bars for burs and gouges
to prevent damage to the surface of the carpet. If you are unsure about the proper height setting, use an inconspicuous place like a closet to test your
vacuum. Its beater bar or brush should just lightly touch your carpet surface.
Vacuum Standards
To ensure that your vacuum will conform to the highest standards, make sure that it is certified through the Carpet and Rug Institute Seal of Approval/Green Label Vacuum Cleaner Program.
Below are a few vacuums we recommend.
