There are lots of things that you need to know how to do as a homeowner. You are now the person that is responsible to recognize a problem with the house and know how to handle it or who you need to call. The floors in your house are a big part of the look and feel and when they are not looking their best your home can look like a mess. One of the issues that many people have when you carpet your home is that there are high traffic stains. A high traffic area of the house has to do with the areas of the home that people use to travel. This may not seem like such a big deal but they can be a real mess. When you decorate your home you are essentially creating paths that people will take more often to walk through the home. These paths are hard on the carpets and you will start to see that they are much more soiled than other parts of the carpet. You want to try and do what you can to avoid creating these high traffic areas if at all possible. Harris Carpet & Floors offers tips for how to deal with high traffic carpet stains in your home.
Best House Shoes, Slippers & Socks for Carpet
One of the biggest causes of making your high traffic areas to become much worse is what is on your feet. Most people are aware that your shoes are covered with dirt and debris and when you walk on the carpet these contaminants are deposited. That is why many homeowners will want to have guests remove their shoes when they come into the house. This is a great start but you should also know that your bare feet can be causing trouble as well. Your feet have oils on them that when you walk with no socks on can leave them behind on the carpets. This will make it easier for dirt and dust to attach to those areas. The better option is to have a pair of house shoes or to make sure that you are wearing socks in your house.
Move Furniture Around on Carpet
When you set up the house there is usually one way to walk around to different rooms and that is where the high traffic areas are. If you want to find a way to balance out the traffic patterns you can move your furniture around. When you rearrange the paths that people will walk it can help to control how bad the high traffic areas will become.
High Traffic Entryway & Indoor Rugs
When you have an area that you know will be used for a lot of walking on you can use an area rug. The rugs that you use can cover and protect the carpet and collect the dirt that would otherwise be on the carpet. It is much simpler to remove, clean and replace a rug than it is to replace your carpets. These rugs should be professionally cleaned when you have your carpets cleaned so that the dirt does not spread from them to the rest of your carpet.
