This is good to know because there are different cleaning procedures for different kinds of carpets. When carpet is maintained the right way, it will last twice as long.

Carpet Wearing Out & Matted Down? It’s Dirt!

Don’t make the mistake in thinking that your vacuum cleaner is damaging your carpet. It’s the dirt that does it. While the vacuum cleaner pulls, stretches and wears on the carpet fibers, it is far less than what the dirt on it will do. Dirt acts like tiny blades cutting away at your carpet fibers. When you walk along it your carpet is getting damaged. In high traffic areas this will dull the sheen of your carpet and make it look duller than the rest of it. As time goes on this dirt will also wear away the fibers of the carpet and will mat the fibers down, making them stain more easily.
