How to Stop Dirt at the Door

Preventing dirt and grime from getting on the carpet in the first place is a great way to start keeping it clean. It helps keep those traffic paths we get in our carpet from wearing out so quickly .
The following helpful hints can stop dirt in its tracks.


Use mats - Outdoor and indoor mats or runners can reduce the amount of dirt that enters the house.


Take off your shoes - You can save wear and tear on carpet by asking everyone to take their shoes off before entering your home.


Change your air filters - Change air filters in your heating and air-conditioning systems as recommended by the manufacturer's directions. The more dust and particles removed by the filter, the fewer that fall onto the carpet.
