We'd like to recommend some effective ways to prevent indentations and protect your carpet from these unsightly marks.

1. Use Furniture Coasters or Pads

Furniture coasters or pads are a great way to distribute the weight of furniture more evenly, reducing the pressure on any one spot of your carpet. They come in various materials and sizes, ensuring a good fit for any furniture piece. We recommend rubber or padded coasters to provide optimal protection for your carpets.

2. Rotate Your Furniture

Every few months, consider rearranging your furniture, even if just slightly. This simple act can give parts of your carpet a break from the constant pressure and reduce the risk of permanent indentations.

3. Choose a Thicker Carpet Pad

A thicker, high-quality carpet pad beneath your carpet can do wonders. It provides extra cushioning, preventing furniture legs from pushing through the carpet and into the subfloor. This can help reduce noticeable indentations.

4. Use Area Rugs or Runners

In areas where furniture frequently moves, like chairs around a dining table, consider placing area rugs or runners. These not only protect the carpet underneath but can also add a layer of style and color to your room.

5. Lift, Don't Drag

When moving furniture, always lift it rather than dragging it across the carpet. This prevents both indentations and unnecessary wear and tear on the carpet fibers.

6. Regular Vacuuming

Frequent vacuuming keeps your carpet looking fresh and helps lift fibers that might be starting to flatten due to furniture weight. If your vacuum has a brush setting we recommend using it to effectively lift the carpet fibers.

7. Professional Cleaning

Pro carpet cleaners have tools and techniques to address indentations and general wear. Periodic professional cleaning can breathe new life into your carpet, ensuring it looks its best for years to come.

Conclusion

With a little proactive care and attention to detail, you can keep your carpet looking as plush and vibrant as the day it was installed. Use these tips to protect your investment from furniture indentations and wear, ensuring a beautiful and comfortable living space.
