Care for Your Carpet with Wear-Dated®

Oct. 8, 2008 - PRLog -- KENNESAW, Ga. — Though the economy may be down, smart homeowners aren’t letting it lower their spirits. They’re coming up with creative ways to enhance and even add value to their homes, including techniques to update, freshen and renovate their décor. Wear-Dated® offers a variety of tips and tricks to help homeowners do this effectively from the ground up – starting with carpet.

Tip #1 – Don’t let carpet stains sit – take care of them immediately. Whether carpet already covers the floors of your home or you’re in the market for new flooring altogether, you can keep your carpet looking like new using the Stain Removal Guide at http://WearDated.com. Here, you’ll find everything from the tools you should have on hand to the steps for removing specific stains like hand lotion, catsup and candle wax. Choose a stain from the drop down menu and read step-by-step instructions to safely remove it from your carpet.

Tip #2 – Your carpet’s color can make a beautiful design statement. To learn more about color as a design tool, make sure to visit Wear-Dated’s Web log, The Carpetology Blog, at http://carpetology.blogspot.com. In a variety of posts, it discusses the impact color has on home design, home décor ideas from Wear-Dated’s color guru, Ann Hurley, and seasonal predictions for color and design trends. You can also access the blog from the Wear-Dated Web site home page or check out excerpts in the Wear-Dated website Newsroom.

Tip #3 – Give your home a modern makeover with carpet!  Compared to buying a whole new house (or the pain of trying to sell your current home), carpet costs very little. Add design flair to a room with a stylish new frieze, a retro shag or a subtle loop. Try on hundreds of carpet styles and options in the Plan & Design section of http://WearDated.com.
