The right type of carpet protection will add years to the life of your carpets and the extra money you spend on protecting yo our new carpets really is worth it.

The built-in protective barrier that came with your carpet will naturally break down over time. Frequent cleaning does extend the life of your carpets, by removing dirt and grit that can wear down the fibers. In addition you should protect your investment with regular maintenance. Each thorough carpet cleaning will help renew your carpet protection.
