How To Make Your Carpet Last Longer

Ascent Property Management • May 03, 2022

What do tenants, landlords, and homeowners all have in common? A need to keep wear and tear at a minimum. And a little extra love and attention to the carpet around your home or rental property can help extend its life.


Clear Pet Policy

From renting with pets to screening pets as a landlord, both tenants and landlords must be clear on the pet policy and who is responsible for any damage. Repeated pet accidents, especially ones that aren’t caught in time or cleaned, will quickly deteriorate the carpet.

Daily Cleaning

Even if you aren’t accident-prone, your carpet should be spot cleaned daily. Spills need to be taken care of immediately and properly. Not all cleaners are made equal, and you’ll want to ensure that you aren’t damaging the carpet with a harsh chemical or accidentally further staining it. So don’t leave that mess for later!


Weekly Cleaning

Aside from spot cleaning, carpets often hold dirt and dust that is not visible. A weekly vacuuming should be on your weekly cleaning list. Over time, dirt and dust can break down carpet fibers, and eventually shows up as dark trails.


If you suffer from allergies, regular vacuuming can help you breathe better. Just remember to do this as your last cleaning step!

Yearly Cleaning

This appointment can be a satisfying one! If you want to go the extra mile to preserve carpet, start scheduling a yearly deep cleaning. Professional cleaning services have the big tools to get all that locked up grime out of the fibers. Often, this process will remove discoloration that you didn’t even notice had appeared.

As Earth Day approaches, it's the perfect time to consider making eco-friendly updates to your rental property. Not only do these updates contribute to a healthier planet, but they can also save you some money in the long run! Energy-Efficient Lighting One of the simplest yet most impactful eco-friendly updates you can make is replacing traditional incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient LED bulbs. LED bulbs consume significantly less energy and last longer than incandescent bulbs, resulting in lower electricity bills and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, consider installing motion sensors or timers to automatically turn off lights when not in use, further conserving energy.

In the competitive rental market, tenants often come across listings advertised as "For Rent by Owner." While these listings may seem appealing, renting directly from an individual landlord rather than through a professional property management company can pose some risks.
