Jeff’s straight-talk flooring advice
Bare Feet Can Leave More Than Footprints
Walking barefoot may seem safer than wearing outdoor shoes, but bare feet naturally transfer perspiration and body oils onto carpet fibers. Those oils can attract and hold dust and soil, causing busy walkways and pivot points to look darker over time.
Leave outdoor shoes at the door—but choose clean socks or indoor-only slippers instead of constantly walking barefoot on carpet.
Three Ways to Help Carpet Stay Cleaner
Small daily habits can make a noticeable difference in how your carpet looks over time.
Vacuum Busy Areas
Pay extra attention to hallways and the pivot points in front of couches, chairs and beds.
Clean Before Soil Builds Up
Professional cleaning can remove oily residue before it attracts enough soil to become noticeable.
Protect the Carpet Your Family Lives On
A shoes-off home is still one of the best ways to protect carpet from outdoor grime. The important detail is what replaces those shoes: clean socks or indoor slippers are generally friendlier to carpet than bare feet.
