In a perfect world, you could buy carpets that are aesthetically pleasing based on the colour and style that reflects your personality, home or office space without giving a second thought about its upkeep. But we don’t live in a perfect world, and hence need to give considerable thought when buying carpets.
Like every other investment in life, carpets also offer the best value for money (if it is of the greatest quality). But to keep it up to spec, professional carpet cleaners are a MUST!
Quick Tips:
- Check for the bulked continuous filament (BCF)in carpets as the bulky strands of fibre last longer and do not get fuzzy after minimal usage.
- Check for the density of the fibres.The fibres should be dense enough that when you bend it, the backing is not visible. Such high-density carpets are usually “stain-resistant” as it can repel dirt, particles and stains due to the density of the fibres.
- Other carpets share the stain-resistance factorwhen they are treated with special chemicals, that repel stains during the manufacturing process.
