Matting

There comes a point when carpet fibers no longer return to their original shape. As fibers lose their shape, they begin to look twisted, frayed or distorted, causing the carpet to look dirtier and gray. The easiest way to avoid matting is to vacuum and rake the carpet often. Rearranging furniture also helps to prevent traffic lanes and patterns.

Have your carpets cleaned at least once a year by Duraclean. The removal of embedded soils and stains refreshes the appearance of your carpet while ridding the fibers of abrasive materials. The stain resistant treatment applied by the carpet manufacturer will wear off... especially in the traffic areas. To maintain your warranty, have the stain resistant treatment re-applied (our chosen protectant is Teflon), each time you have your carpet cleaned.
