How long does carpet protection last?

• <div><p>You can expect your carpet protection to last about six months to two years. It will last longer in low-traffic areas (compared to busy areas, where your carpet experiences more wear and tear). Once the protector wears off, you’ll need to call your carpet contractor to reapply the stain protection treatment and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-clean-and-revive-carpet-pile.htm">revive your carpet</a>. </p></div>

Q: Are stairs safer with carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, carpeted stairs are safer because carpet helps reduce the chances of slips and falls compared to harder materials like wood, vinyl, tile, or steel staircases, which lack the friction needed for a secure tread. And, if you do happen to fall, carpeted stairs also have more cushioning in the case of an accident.</p></div>

Q: Are stairs safer with or without carpet?

• <div><p>In some cases, stairs without carpet are actually slipperier than carpeted stairs, but if the carpet is brand new, dirty, or just slick, it may seem like your stairs are the most slippery ones in existence. Fortunately, traction treads can be added over most stair surface materials, increasing the traction you&rsquo;re able to get and reducing the risk of slipping. </p></div>

Q: How do you fix discolored carpet?

• <div><p>Use baking soda and vinegar or shaving cream to fix your carpet stains. But if you prefer a quicker solution, rent a carpet shampooer and use an enzyme-based cleaner to treat and resolve your discolored carpet issue. </p></div>

Q: How do you fix carpet that is matted down?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fix-carpet-matting.htm">best way to fix carpet matting</a> is to start by vacuuming thoroughly in multiple directions to lift the flattened fibers. For more stubborn spots, apply moisture with an ice cube or steam, then fluff the carpet using a spoon, comb, or carpet brush. A blow dryer or warm iron over a damp towel can also help restore the carpet&rsquo;s texture. For deep or widespread matting, a professional cleaning is your best bet to fluff your carpet back up to its former glory. </p></div>

Never again! We contracted Calhoun for stair and hallway carpet in February. We called 2 months later; "oh, yeah...I think it's back in the warehouse." Installers came and when they had finished 3/4 of it, they announced they were short of carpet. Carpet ordered...7 weeks later, we called...same...

They were on time and easy to contract. However, I was told the carpet would dry in 4-5 hours. It actually took 24 hrs with five fans blowing on it. There were also little chunks of some kind of plastic or rubber left scattered about on carpet and floor where the hose was dragged. And, the...

Great job. Had carpet and rugs looking like new and it was dry within an hour or so. Not like other steam places where it was wet for over a day.

VERY RESPONSIVE TO INITIAL CONTACT. WORKED WITH ME ON SCHEDULING THE JOB AS WE HAD TO WAIT FOR THE CARPET TO ARRIVE FROM THE MILL. LARRY PICKED UP THE CARPET FROM THE TRUCK DOCK UPON ARRIVAL. VERY PLEASED WITH WORKMANSHIP.
