Keep your carpet looking fresh and lasting longer with proper care
Carpet is comfortable, warm, and sound-absorbing — and with proper care, quality carpet can look great for 10–15 years. The key is consistent preventative maintenance combined with prompt attention to spills. LA Flooring provides this care guide for all Central Florida carpet customers.
Consistent care is the single best way to protect your flooring investment. Follow this routine to keep your carpet floors looking like new for years to come.
Quick habits that protect your floors every day
Deeper care steps to do once a month
These common mistakes can permanently damage your flooring. Keep this list handy.
Rubbing spills — always blot to prevent spreading and fiber damage
Over-wetting carpet during cleaning — it can damage padding and subfloor
Harsh chemical cleaners that break down fiber structure
Letting spills sit — the longer a spill sits, the harder it is to remove
For best results, use products specifically formulated for carpet flooring. Our team recommends: For spot cleaning: Woolite Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner or OxiClean Carpet Spray. For SmartStrand carpet: Mohawk's recommended SmartStrand cleaner. Professional steam cleaning every 12–18 months is recommended.

Questions our customers ask us most often about maintaining their carpet floors — answered by our flooring experts.
Regular vacuuming is the single most effective thing you can do for your carpet's longevity. Vacuum at least twice per week in high-traffic areas, using a vacuum with strong suction and a beater bar to lift fibers. Address spills immediately by blotting — never rubbing — with a clean white cloth. Schedule professional hot-water extraction cleaning every 12–18 months to maintain carpet's appearance and indoor air quality.
