Cleaning Old Carpet in St. George

Cleaning your carpet may seem a simple task, but if the carpet in your St. George home is old, cleaning it may bring surprising results. Over time, carpet fibers can become worn and brittle. The constant wear and tear of being tracked across day in and day out have probably taken it’s toll on your carpet. Not only can the carpet be more fragile as it ages, the carpet padding placed below the carpet has likewise aged and requires more delicate handling. Before you have your carpet cleaned, there are a couple things you should check. First, checking for tears or separation of carpet from the padding or near the edges of the room can help you to prevent the tears from enlarging during cleaning. Also, check to see what type of carpet you have. If it is old carpet and has lasted this long, it may be higher quality carpet such as wool that you don’t want to get to moist as it can be harder to air dry.
