You just had your new carpets installed and now you want to make sure those new carpets continue to look new for years to come. With today’s average carpeting costs ranging between $25-50 per square foot, by taking the proper measures to protect your carpet, you’ll be protecting your wallet as well.

One of the easiest and economically sensible ways to protect your carpets is by utilizing specific floor mats at key places in your home or office.

Entryways
Reduce the amount of dirt and moisture that is tracked into your building by placing a door mat both outside and indoors at all of your entry points. Scraper mats work the best here because their texture allows for maximum dirt and moisture to be scraped away, while requiring minimal cleaning effort – simply shake or vacuum them clean.

Areas with Heavy Foot Traffic
One of the biggest problems with carpeting is increased fading in areas with heavy foot traffic, such as main isles and meeting areas. These areas need extra protection due to this increased pressure, so try placing stylish floor mats in these places. This way when the floor mat begins to fade, you only need to replace the mat, not your entire rug.
