Kate’s favorite pants weren’t extraordinary. They weren’t designed in Europe by a big name pants fashionista with an impossible name to pronounce. They weren’t made of hypoallergenic fabric which resists staining or possesses technology which syncs with her smart phone and counts her steps. They weren’t purchased at a trendy boutique in Manhattan which required an appointment, a mimosa, and a personal shopper. No, Kate’s favorite pants were simple khakis that cost her ten bucks at a consignment shop by her house. The thing is, they fit perfectly, and that was really saying something for her. Pants hardly ever fit her the way she liked.
Needless to say, Kate’s khakis were in heavy rotation. She’d wear them one day, wash them the next (even if they didn’t look dirty), and wear them again the following day. It wasn’t that she didn’t have any other pants, she had a closet full of them, it was just that those pants were the perfect pants, not just cozy but suitable for work and play alike.
Perhaps you can relate. I think most of us have our favorite clothes in heavy rotation, and most of us prefer our clothes to be cleaned after we wear them, even if they don’t look dirty. What else gets heavy rotation and regular washing? Your hair? It’d be oily and stink if not. Your car maybe? It gets lots of use; lots of dirt and dead bugs. How about your dishes? Oh, yeah. If things in your house go down anything like they do in Kate’s, the dishes need to be done almost as soon as they’ve been done.
What about your area rugs?
Just like the dishes, your area rugs get used every day. BY YOUR FEET! Sure, you vacuum, and vacuuming is important to keep them free of dust and debris, but your vacuum does not clean. Cleaning requires soap and hot water, and just because your area rugs don’t look dirty, doesn’t mean they aren’t. Can you imagine what your clothes, hair, car, or dishes would be like if all you did was vacuum them? Gross. You wouldn’t let any of those things go without washing them properly, so why let your area rugs go for years without soap and water?
What would Kate do?
Unlike with her pants, Kate’s rugs were an investment, and she knows that her area rugs could be ruined if she cleaned them herself, so she would call Randy’s Carpet Care at (616) 392-1400 and schedule a pick-up, because her rugs get used more than her favorite khakis. Kate also knows that regularly cleaning her area rugs will not only keep her home looking as perfect as those pants, it’ll help to reduce allergens and improve overall air quality in her house.
Be like Kate.
