			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-374" style="margin: 5px;" title="clean carpet" src="http://www.colesfineflooring.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/clean-carpeting-300x232.jpg" alt="clean carpet" width="240" height="186" />If you have small children, pets, or entertain in your home a lot, you know firsthand just how difficult it can be to keep your carpet looking brand new. Spots, spills, &amp; odors can add up over time, and your carpeting can become lackluster and appear dingy- but there are steps you can take to extend the life of your carpeting, and succeed in making it look new again.</p>
<p>Aside from your own routine spot cleaning and vacuuming, you should also consider getting your carpets professionally cleaned. <a href="http://www.colesfineflooring.com/floorcare/cleancarpet.php" target="_self">Professional cleaning</a> services can bring your carpet back to life, and provide the deep, permeating cleaning that consumer-grade products just can’t match.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Here are some things to keep in mind when getting your carpeting professionally cleaned:</strong>
<ul>
<li>Many professional carpet      cleaning companies will use different cleaning methods, and it is      important to find out which will be used in your home: steaming,      shampooing, or dry chemical cleaning.</li>
<li>Also ask how long your carpet      will need to remain unused.</li>
<li>Schedule cleanings every 18-24      months for routine cleaning, or more frequently in cases of heavier      traffic and soiling</li>
<li>Make sure to keep any invoices      or receipts from the company, for your carpet manufacturer’s warranty      purposes
<ul></ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Hiring a professional company to clean your carpet is the safest and most effective route to take when dealing with heavy soiling and/or odors. It is a worthwhile investment that will keep your home’s carpet looking newer, longer.</p>

One other option when considering commercial style carpeting- an option that has skyrocketed in terms of popularity and availability- is carpet tile.</p>
<p>Carpet tiles are exactly what they sound like: smaller squares of carpeting, which are installed by laying them together, like tiles. This type of carpeting allows for creating patterns of infinite customization.</p>
<p>The biggest incentive to utilize carpet tile, rather than broadloom carpeting, is the ease of installation. The flooring can be installed quickly, and can be completed when offices are closed, to avoid business disruption. It can be installed section-by-section, meaning that less moving of furniture is required. And if one section of carpeting eventually gets stained or otherwise flawed, it’s a simple process of removing the affected carpet tiles, and replacing them with new ones- no cutting or measuring required.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-324" style="margin: 5px;" title="Commercial carpet in a home" src="http://www.colesfineflooring.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/commercial-237x300.jpg" alt="Commercial carpet in a home" width="166" height="210" />Commercial carpeting has evolved much over the years- from stiff, unfashionable, and function-oriented, commercial carpet now offers more options than ever before- different patterns and prints, different textures and construction types, and a plethora of different color variations.</p>
<p>Industrial and durable, commercial carpeting is an obvious choice for <a href="http://www.colesfineflooring.com/businessflooring/index.php" target="_self">business applications</a>; its tight, low, compacted construction is able to withstand high traffic and office activity better than any other carpeting option.</p>
<p>However, more homeowners are beginning to choose commercial style carpeting in their home, for a few reasons. Firstly, itï¿½s an economical choice, almost always more affordable than other carpet options. Secondly, commercial carpet is one of the only carpeting options that is wheelchair friendly, because of its flat, low pile construction. One drawback of using commercial in your home, however, is comfort; because of its flatness and the use of thinner padding, it does not provide as much cushion underfoot as other carpet styles.</p>
