Would you be surprised to learn that flooring is your third largest single investment? Your home and your automobiles may be the only two larger single investments before your flooring. Sure, if you add up all of your furniture and other valuables, they may add up to more than what your floor cost. Or, if you took single components of your home such as your roof, but as a single, stand-alone investment, it ranks. The question is “Do you treat your floor like and investment?

Any investment you have requires some kind of maintenance to get the maximum ROI. You maintain your home so that it will retain it’s value. You maintain your vehicle by changing the oil on a regular basis to avoid costly repairs. Your carpet and flooring is the same way. It should be maintained through regular vacuuming, prompt spot removal, regular professional cleaning, and the application of protectors. Your carpet should be vacuumed once or twice a week, and professional cleaning should take place before the carpet has visible soil. Clean heavy traffic areas as often as they need it. Carpet manufacturers recommend professional cleaning at least every 12 months and require hot water extraction every 18 to 24 months to retain texture retention
