All About Purchasing A New Area Rug

Area rugs are such a great complement to flooring- especially when it’s a hardwood, natural stone, or marble flooring. They can create an entirely new look for any room around the home- but they also come with their fair share of maintenance (just as any carpet fibers do). If you’ve never owned an area rug before or are branching out into different fibers- we’ve got a quick guide full of area rug maintenance just for you. It’s short and sweet, so stick around!

Regular Vacuuming

At least once a week, make sure to vacuum your area rugs. It’ll do them a ton of good. And of course, if they receive more than occasional foot traffic, you might find yourself vacuuming more than once a week!

Carpet Cleaning Tips for Keeping Your Office Clean

It’s a new season, and that means it’s time for a change. A little cleaning and rearranging of the office furniture never hurt anyone, right? It can feel renewing, stepping into a freshly cleaned office. After all, your office is an investment, so why not treat it as such?

Don’t eat lunch at your desk! Instead, head to the break room. Besides, it can feel incredibly refreshing to step away for a little while. Eating at your desk will cause grime to build up faster; you simply can’t avoid accidents, and sometimes lunch gets messy!

Dust on the Regular

Vacuum, Vacuum, Vacuum

We’ve got to get rid of those dust mites somehow! Not to mention the crumbs around your desk from you not following guideline #1. Vacuum your office thoroughly at least once a week to keep the flooring looking fantastic.
