If you have carpets and you want to extend their lifespan, then you need to take care of them properly. You see, tiny debris such as dirt, dust and sand are abrasive and can damage your carpets’ fibers over time, leading to unnecessary repair, or worse, replacement. In addition, small particles that are not removed from your floor coverings can become a breeding ground for germs, which may put you and everyone in your household at risk of catching health-related illnesses.
