Great news! Not only will you protect your staircase from the wear and tear of time, but you will also give your home a more comfortable and safe environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You may now want to protect the carpeted steps of your staircase to ensure their own durability. The experts at Tapis Andr\u00e9 Viau,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tapisandreviau.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">carpet specialists<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">since 1956, give you 3 tips to protect your carpet stairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Maintenance is the best protection<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To protect the steps of a carpeted staircase, regular maintenance is necessary. Vacuum regularly to remove any dust or dirt deposited by shoes and traffic wear. Clean the gaps in your staircase railing if there are any since dust can also get trapped there.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15pt; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">If you have installed a stair runner on top of vinyl flooring, be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tapisandreviau.com\/en\/how-to-clean-vinyl-flooring-planks-like-a-pro\/\">clean the vinyl<\/a> with a product that will not harm the carpet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:15.0pt; line-height:107%;font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;color:black;mso-ansi-language:EN-CA; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As this is an area that is heavily used by members of the household, try to avoid habits that will wear and tear the carpeted stairs over time. This might mean wearing indoor shoes or clipping a pet&#8217;s nails more frequently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The way you step on a stair can be a little more aggressive and a little more localized on the edge, which tends to damage one side of the carpet. A good habit would be to anticipate your steps to put your foot on the carpet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the same way as for maintaining and<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tapisandreviau.com\/en\/clean-wall-to-wall-carpet-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cleaning wall-to-wall carpets<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\">, regular cleaning with products will help preserve your stair carpet over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Protect your carpeted stairs from the sun<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tapisandreviau.com\/en\/products\/stair-runners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stair carpet runners<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\">, like any type of carpet, are sensitive to sunlight. This could alter their colour and since there is little chance that your window will shine on the entire stairway, you could find yourself in a situation where the carpet is no longer in good condition. You could end up with a carpeted staircase with a faded colour in one place and not in others. So be careful!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If this is the case in your home, you may want to consider blocking the sunlight that reaches the stair carpet, either with a curtain or with an adhesive paper on the window. This will keep the carpet colour vibrant.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Use a protective product<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Carpet or carpet runners are great ideas to decorate a staircase and to protect your stairway. These carpeted stairs or runners need to be pampered so they don&#8217;t age poorly. A good method to protect your carpeted stairway is to apply a protective product to your fabric.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After your regular maintenance, to limit stains and possible traces or spills that could occur by accident, use touch spot treatments with cleaning products. These<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotchgard.com\/3M\/en_CA\/scotchgard-ca\/how-to-use-rug-carpet-protector\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">carpet cleaning products<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">are often made to be foam cleaners. It is important to read the directions and the ingredients listed on the label.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Spreading the protection product once every year is a good frequency to ensure that your carpet remains in good condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tapis Andr\u00e9 Viau excels in carpeted stair installation in Montreal<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Protecting your carpeted stairs is important for the lifetime value of your home.
