Here are some helpful tips and tricks to help you with Clean or Install Carpet

  • Use Entrance Mats-Place mats inside and outside entrances to trap soil before it is tracked into your home.
  • When Carpet is Delivered, check its texture, color, and style. Make sure there are no visible defects before installation. Be sure the installer will adhere to the Standard for Installation of Residential Carpet. This requires for proper installation that carpet must be power-stretched to minimize wrinkling and rippling. Seam edges must be sealed with appropriate adhesive to prevent delamination and edge ravel.
  • Individuals who consider themselves unusually sensitive or prone to allergic reactions may wish to leave the premises while the old carpet is being removed and the new carpet installed, and for 48 to 72 hours afterward.
  • Before your new carpet hits the floor, iron out these details. Remember, your retailer will provide you with installation experts. Who is responsible for moving furniture in the room? Who removes and disposes of the old carpet and padding? Are there any extra charges for these services? Where will the carpet seams be placed?
  • Get bids from several vendors. Some should be from carpet-only showrooms and and others from general home centers. Unless you plan to lay the carpeting yourself, be sure to inquire about installation and padding.
  • Before the installers arrive, be sure to empty the room and clean it. If you're planning to re-paper the walls or paint, do that before the carpet is laid.
  • Don't forget about the padding. Decide what type of padding you want. Usually a low quality padding is included in the price. But you just may want to upgrade to a thicker version.
