Sidewalk chalk may be an outdoor item and it may say “washable” on the label, but if you’ve got kids you know that they have a unique way of making stains appear out of nowhere. While most of it will end up on the pavement, children like to really get into their art creations and this means laying on the ground while finishing up a drawing and rubbing their clothes and shoes all over this fun craft toy while they do it. They may place the leftover pieces back in the tub before coming inside or they may hide one in their pocket and forget it’s there, but inevitably it will sneak its way indoors. All it takes is just a few seconds for your kids to come waltzing in from outside and sit on the carpet to watch a television show and there it goes right into the carpet fibers. Even the most vigilant parent or caregiver can’t always stop it from happening, but we have a few tips for how to fix it when it does.

Remove the large, obvious pieces by hand to prevent any more chalk from rubbing into the carpet.  Once the debris is cleared away, use a vacuum to try to pull up as much loose powder as possible. To treat the stain, mix a solution of 1 tablespoon of liquid dishwashing detergent with two cups of warm water. It is recommended to use a clean, white cloth to dip into the solution once combined.  Take your moistened cloth and apply the solution to the carpet through light blotting or directly and gently pushing into the material. It is important to use a vertical motion to prevent the powder from spreading around, which would happen if circular or back and forth motions are used. Once you’ve pulled up the remainder of the stain, use another white cloth to blot cold water on the cleaned area. Pat the section dry and allow the remaining dampness to air dry.

Messes are going to happen when there are children involved, but it’s nice to know they can still have lots of fun without causing permanent damage to your floors. Fun for them, peace of mind for you.

You have been looking to purchase new flooring for your home and have final decided on carpet. Carpet can be a great choice for homeowners. Carpet provides you with various styles and designs; the options can be endless. 

Tips for buying carpet: 

• Consider the room that you are buying carpet for and look at the amount of traffic that the room gets. High-traffic areas may require a darker, multicolored or patterned carpet to reduce the appearance of soil. 
• The carpet cushion can be just as important as the carpet when making your purchasing decisions. The better the padding, the longer the carpet will last. 
• The color of carpet you choose can change the look of your space. When choosing your carpet, consider the color scheme and furniture you have currently in your home.

Benefits of carpet: 

• In recent studies, carpet has shown to reduce symptoms of asthma and allergies. Carpet can serve as an “air filter,” helping to improve breathing. 
• Carpet is exceptional for adding warmth to a room as well as your toes. 
• Carpet is great for families with young kids. It can help put parents at ease with active kids. Carpet is soft enough to help cushion a fall or drop. 
• Also, carpet can improve noisy rooms caused by electronics or heavy foot traffic.

Cleaning carpet: 

• Do not be afraid to buy carpet because of its cleaning process. 
• Make sure to react quickly to messes and try not to let an area stay soiled for very long. It is essential to respond the accident as fast as possible in order to effectively remove the stain. For detailed carpet cleaning instructions visit: carpet-rug.org
• According to The Carpet and Rug Institute, carpet should be deep cleaned by a commercial company every 12-18 months. 
• Keep up with high-traffic areas by vacuuming everyday. When dirt gets deep into the carpet it begins to break down the carpet’s fibers. 

Choosing your carpet may get overwhelming at times, because there are so many great choices out there. At Carpets N More, we are happy to help you through the entire process!

A house with carpet gives the homeowner and their visitors a welcoming feeling. Not only does it provide warmth and absorb noise, it also provides a dual sense of style and function.  Read on to learn about the benefits of having this material in your home.

The comfort that comes with having carpet on the floor can’t be beat.  With proper padding, carpet feels soft underneath your feet while also providing insulation to the room, making it a safer space for children to sit and play. While it provides better traction for young and old to walk on, any slips and falls that may occur will be absorbed by the material better than a non-carpeted surface.

If anyone in the home suffers from allergies or asthma, then carpeting may be a good choice. Carpet absorbs dust and allergens which are then easily removed through vacuuming, making for better air quality in your home.  Be sure to inquire about carpeting with low VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which are emitted as gas and can cause irritation if inhaled. Proper cleaning and eco-friendly carpeting will ensure the air you are breathing is at its best.

The noise absorption that carpeting provides also makes it a good choice for your home. Installing this material in high traffic rooms and on stairs will help bring down the level of everyday noise that comes from visitors with their shoes on, running children and family pets. Your floors are protected from nicks and dents while you enjoy the lack of noise echoing throughout the house.

A feature worth looking into if the carpeted area is going to get some heavy use is stain-resistance.  Life happens. Pets have accidents, children spill drinks and sometimes guests tread dirt into your home with their shoes.  Know that there are choices for stain-resistant carpeting that still provide beauty and style.  Not only is it cost-effective, but it will last longer because the everyday messes that happen will be easier to clean.

Lastly, choose carpet for the style it provides to your home. It comes in all different lengths and colors to provide any look you want to achieve. Whether it’s a lighter carpet to make the room appear larger or a darker hue to add a sense of warmth, there are multiple fabrics out there to choose from.  Longer yarn can give the room a plush, intimate feeling while shorter lengths can provide a sense of durability in areas with high foot traffic. 

With so many benefits to carpeting, there is sure to be a room in your home that can be enhanced by this material.  Contact us today to find the best carpet for you. 

Cooking is a joy in the home – the scents, helping one another and of course, the eating!  But what happens when cooking leads to a mess or even a spill? 

Inevitably when we are cooking or eating with oils there are bound to be accidents. It always happens when you are wearing your favorite white sweater while you are cooking and the oil jumps off the pan right onto it. Or when children are eating a salad and the bowl is accidentally knocked off the table and right onto the beautiful new carpet.

Luckily these little life accidents can be reversed if handled in a timely manner and save the carpet from permanent damage. The most important thing to know about these kinds of stains is that acting immediately is extremely important. The longer a spill remains on carpet, the harder it will be to remove.

The first step is to use a spoon and carefully scoop up any solid food that may have also fallen in the spill.  Next, gently blot the stained area with white paper towels. Test a spot remover on a hidden area of carpet to ensure the spot remover does not discolor the area.

For spot remover, combine ¼ teaspoon of liquid dish detergent with 1-cup lukewarm water.  Do not use automatic dish detergent (the kind used in a dish washing machine) or laundry detergent.  These will not help the stain and may damage carpet. 

Once you have confirmed your spot solution is not going to stain your carpet further, spray the spot solution onto the white paper towels and gently apply moving from the outer part of the stain inward, so as not to spread the stain further. Let the solution set for a couple of minutes and then blot to remove. This step may need to be repeated several times if the spot does not lift on the first try. Don’t use more than necessary, however.  More is not better!

Once the stain has been removed rinse the area several times with lukewarm water. Spot removal solutions can leave residues that soil can be attracted to. Use a bottle that will spray the water over the affected area so as not to oversaturate and blot with white paper towels. Repeat this process several times to be sure to remove everything from the carpet.
