The first habit to adopt is simple: vacuum regularly to prevent dust and debris from accumulating in the fibers. Note that natural-fiber rugs are more delicate than synthetic-fiber rugs.

For stains, it’s important to act quickly and avoid rubbing: instead, clean from the outside toward the center of the stain to prevent it from spreading. Use a carpet cleaner if needed.

For occasional deep cleaning, the most common method is hot-water extraction. This technique restores the carpet’s appearance by removing deeply embedded dirt using a machine that injects high-pressure water and cleaning product and then quickly extracts the dirty water.

To extend the life of your carpet, avoid excess water and moisture, direct sunlight, and clean your carpet regularly if you have pets at home.

1. Measure the area to be covered in square feet.*
2. Add 5% to account for waste.
3. Have your calculations verified by your consultant before ordering.

Please note that most carpet tiles are sold in full boxes only, which may affect the total quantity ordered.

Remember to factor installation materials, accessories such as transition moldings, and labor and delivery, if applicable, into your budget.

* Did you measure in inches? Take the number of square inches to be covered and divide that number by 144. This will give you the number of square feet to be covered.
