Sidewalks and entrances should be kept free of excessive dirt and substances which can be tracked into the home. Use a Quality Pad Use a quality pad under your carpet, particularly on stairs. Good pad not only gives better resilience underfoot, but it can also add to the life of your carpet.
Some carpets carry warranties with specific density and thickness requirements.
Before purchasing your carpet pad, review your warranty. Occasionally Move Heavy Furniture Occasionally move heavy furniture to avoid excessive pile crushing. Put coasters intended for use with carpet under the legs of tables, chairs, and other furniture to help distribute the weight and prevent crushing the pile. Do not use chairs or appliances with rollers or casters on carpet without a chair pad designed for carpet. Continued use without a chair pad can cause damage to the carpet.
