Central Vacuum Systems

New Carpet? Here’s How to Extend its Life and Looks

Finally, you’ve replaced that tired old carpet with its faded color, worn areas and spots you just can’t remove. Now, to maintain that “just decorated” look and keep your new carpet looking its showroom best, follow these simple guidelines:

Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum. Nothing wears down carpet fibers more quickly than fine dirt and debris. Even if it’s dirt you can’t see, it’s working its way down into the carpet and wearing away at it. Vacuum often and well.

Better yet, install a central vacuum system. Unlike traditional vacuum cleaners, which redistribute some of what’s vacuumed back into your indoor air (and right back into your carpet), central vacuum systems remove virtually all debris, dander, small particles and allergens that wear down carpet fibers and aggravate respiratory ailments like asthma and allergies. Dirt and dust are suctioned through the hose and through a system of tubes hidden behind your walls, into a sealed container away from living space. It’s easier than you might think to retrofit your home with a central vacuum system; most systems can be installed within a day and involve very little household disruption.

For maximum cleaning potential, use a powerhead with your central vacuum system, such as the powerful, air-driven TurboCat Zoom by Vacuflo. The TurboCat Zoom removes embedded dirt and dust and is easily maneuverable. Because it harnesses the power of your central vacuum system, it requires no power cords, batteries or additional electricity. In spite of its cleaning oomph, it also offers one of the quietest vacuuming experiences available, due to features like its Silent Drive Belt, Easy-Glide Rollers and Run-Silent Bearings. Learn more.
