🏠 Shaw Floors Recommendations

Shaw Floors emphasizes the importance of regular maintenance to preserve carpet quality:​shawfloors.com+2shawfloors.com+2Costco & Shaw Floors+2

  • Vacuuming: Regular vacuuming, especially in high-traffic areas, is crucial. Shaw suggests vacuuming traffic lanes daily and the entire area twice weekly for heavy traffic zones. This practice prevents soil from embedding into the carpet fibers. ​shawfloors.com
  • Professional Cleaning: Shaw recommends hot water extraction (commonly known as steam cleaning) every 12 to 18 months. This method effectively removes deep-seated dirt and oils that regular vacuuming can’t eliminate. ​shawfloors.com
  • Certified Equipment: Using equipment certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute’s Seal of Approval ensures effective cleaning without damaging the carpet. ​shawfloors.com+2Costco & Shaw Floors+2shawfloors.com+2
