After Your New Carpet Is Installed

Ventilation is important, especially if you have a sensitive nose or allergies. Ventilate well after the installation of your new carpet for up to 72 hours, longer if you can.

Shedding and sprouting are normal occurrences with new carpet installation. Shedding is when you find carpet fibers on top of the rug. This just takes vacuuming. Sprouting is when a loose carpet fiber sticks up above the pile, just gently use your scissors to cut the fiber down to the level of the rest of the carpet. Both of these are very common and will go away after a year or two.

Wrinkles or ripples may show up on your carpet and generally means the carpet may not have been stretched well. Contact your retailer or installer about your options when this happens.

You may have to repaint or repair damaged trim or molding and it is common to have to shave the bottom of your doors that may not be able to close with a higher pile floor.

Ask your retailer, or check the manufacturer�s site, on the best ways to clean and keep clean your new carpet investment.

See what you should do before your new carpet arrives and the day your new carpet is installed.
