Dave Gerke is owner of Pristine Carpet Care, LLC and Imperial Rug Spa. Dave started his company in 1977. Gerke has been been voted for the BEST of the BEST Carpet Cleaner by the Longmont Daily Times-call Readers for the last seven years! That’s truly an accomplishment that should be recognized. Gerke is spotlighted due to his dedication and amazing ability to touch all facets of the industry. He is truly marketing himself very successfully and it’s paying off.
Gerke is now attempting to promote his Imperial Rug Spa more. He is attempting to educate rug owners on the importance of taking care of this investment.
Rugs can be beneficial to all families and help to protect your carpet in high traffic areas. Wool rugs are one of the best for a busy family that is going in and out of the house often. They are very durable in high traffic areas and wool usually has a longer life span. Expects say to avoid silk rugs and shaggy carpets because they are not durable and will wear out quickly.
To ensure your rug to last a while longer you should put a pad underneath it because usually a rug will wear out from the bottom where it rubs against the floor. Stay away from light colors and dark solid ones because they will “appear” to be dirty far too quickly.
You also want to ensure that when you invest in a rug you also need to keep them clean. You want an expert to test the rug, pre-treat it for stains, and brush the fibers to loosen the dirt, and then you rinse it and flush out the dirt and grime. That’s why we’re highlighting Gerke’s Imperial Rug Spa because he has so much knowledge in this department and even his website contains lots of information for consumers on how to hire a rug cleaner, how to do spot removal, and other rug facts.
You want to take care of rugs to protect carpets. Vacuum them on a regular basis and keep the dust from settling on them. You want to rotate your rugs to help prevent them from fading too quickly.
You always want to avoid carpet spot removers like Resolve because they are made for synthetic carpet and not wool or silk. A lot of times these removers will cause discoloration or bleach out rug dyes.
So, be wise and be advised by any rug experts and check information online on rug maintenance to protect that expensive investment. And always remember to hire a responsible rug cleaner in your area.
