CARPET MAINTENANCE MANUAL
This manual provides essential guidelines to help you care for and maintain your carpet, ensuring its beauty and longevity. With simple tips on cleaning, handling, and routine upkeep, it helps preserve the texture, color, and quality of your investment. Proper maintenance will keep your carpet looking fresh and vibrant for years to come.
Vacuum Cleaning
To maintain the appearance and extend the lifespan of your carpet, it is recommended to begin regular vacuum cleaning from the day of installation. Vacuuming should be carried out at least once per week under normal usage conditions.
For best results, we recommend using an electrically driven vacuum cleaner with a brushing function. This type of vacuum is more effective at removing dust and dirt than standard vacuum cleaners with adjustable floor tools. The brushing action also helps lift the carpet pile, allowing the carpet to retain its original appearance for a longer period and reducing the likelihood of matting or felting of the yarn surface.
During the first few months after installation, it is normal for new carpets to release a small amount of loose fibers, commonly known as lint or shedding, during vacuuming. This is a natural characteristic of new carpets and does not indicate a defect or affect the quality or durability of the product. Only a very small fraction of the total pile weight is released.
To ensure optimal vacuum performance, please check the dust filter and vacuum bag regularly. It is recommended to inspect these at least once a month, and more frequently during the initial months of use, as they may require more frequent cleaning or replacement.
Stain Treatment
Spills and stains should be attended to as soon as possible, as prompt treatment greatly increases the likelihood of successful removal and helps maintain the carpet’s appearance.
For fresh spills, gently moisten a clean terry cloth with cold water, wring it out thoroughly, and place it over the affected area. Allow it to remain in place until dry. Do not rub or scrub, as this may cause the stain to spread or penetrate deeper into the carpet fibers.
If necessary, carefully remove any solid residue using a spoon before treatment. Always work from the outer edges toward the center of the stain to prevent spreading. Avoid rubbing or brushing, as this may damage the fibers and cause the affected area to remain visible even after the stain itself has been removed.
Please do not use household detergents, washing-up liquids, or bleaching agents, as these products are not designed for carpet fibers and may leave residues that attract dirt or cause permanent discoloration. Where appropriate, a professional carpet stain remover, such as Chem-Dry Stain Remover, or a suitable oil and grease emulsifying agent may be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
