There are some important steps to take in caring for your new wool Empire Carpet in order to keep it looking beautiful for years to come. Wool carpeting has become more popular as a floor covering choice in recent years, but wool is an ancient fiber that has been used for a millennium. Wool comprises about 5% of the US carpet market by dollar amount. It is considered to be a high ticket carpeting fiber, which means that it represents a significant investment to install wool carpets in your home.

Experts recommend that you should hire professional cleaners who have expertise in cleaning wool fiber carpet. Most of the wool broadloom carpet in the US is installed in residential homes, and many more homeowners have purchased Oriental area rugs which are also made from wool.

To protect your new wool Empire Carpet investment, it's important to do some regular maintenance. Rather than waiting for your carpeting to become soiled, it is recommended that you clean it at regularly scheduled intervals instead. This will help to extend the carpet's life and protect your investment. Wool carpet, when properly maintained, can improve the appearance of a room and the interior atmosphere.

It does this by trapping fumes, dirt and dust particles. Cleaning your wool carpeting regularly will reduce these indoor pollutants and help to minimize allergens as well, which creates a healthier indoor environment for everyone. Pure wool carpets are not difficult to clean because they actually release soil more easily than synthetic carpets. This is because a wool carpet traps soil closer to the pile top so it is easier to vacuum out.

When you want to install wall-to-wall carpet, you can either do it yourself or have the help of a professional flooring company like Empire Today. In both cases, you can do some initial steps to prepare for the installation.

The first step is to measure the room to help you determine how much carpet you need to purchase. When measuring the room, you should be sure to add on several inches to both the length and width measurement in order to ensure you have enough carpeting for the doorways and thresholds. Keep in mind that carpeting typically comes in widths between 12 feet and 15 feet.

You will need to have the carpet seamed for rooms which are wider than 15 feet, and professional installation, such as Empire Flooring, is often required for seamed carpets so that they qualify for the manufacturer's warranty. The next preparatory step in the installation process is to check the subfloor for any squeaks before you install the carpet.

One of the most effective and affordable options for the best carpet cleaning products includes vacuum cleaners. The Roomba started the trend, but now there are plenty of robotic vacuums on the market. These vacuums are small, quiet, and best of all they do all the work for you. You simply set them down, switch them on, and they move about the room collecting dust and debris while no one is looking. Given the many options available, there is now a lot of competition in the robotic vacuum cleaner market.

Samsung has just raised the bar by creating a version that is the quietest and most powerful yet. The Samsung Tango Stealth is able to pick up dust and debris while only emitting 50db of sound. However, a big drawback of this model is that it only runs on hardwood floors. Carpet can ruin it's mechanism, which would be a real shame given that it has a hefty price tag of $670.
