There are three key steps in a proper maintenance plan:

1. Frequent and thorough vacuuming

a. Vacuuming removes dirt that dulls appearance
b. Select a vacuum with good suction and strong beater bars, which brush the carpet and loosen dirt
c. Change vacuum bags and filters regularly

2. Clean spills promptly

a. Follow specific directions supplied online at www.stainmaster.com, www.weardated.com or www.ansosmartcare.com.

3. Professional carpet cleanings at least annually

a. To maintain your texture retention warranty, you need to have a professional steam cleaning/ hot water extraction at least every 18-24 months.
b. Fiber manufacturers and carpet mills recommend that you consult the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration (IICRC) at 1-800-835-4624 or access their website at www.IICRC.org
