Cleaning

Spillages should be spot cleaned immediately.  Always dab and not scrub with a clean cloth. Never saturate your carpet with water or cleaner as this may stain it.  Dry extraction methods of cleaning spills and stains are recommended.  Always test the cleaning method to ensure that the colour is not affected . Test in a small concealed area first.  Please visit the WOW for more detailed information.

Tencel and bamboo fibres are hygroscopic; therefore, we advise that carpets containing these fibres are not installed in areas where there may be greater risk of spillage, as contact with liquids can cause permanent changes in their appearance.   For major spillages, consult a professional carpet cleaner contractor.

We also recommend from time to time you use a professional carpet cleaning contactor to look after your carpets.

Application of any protective treatments such as Scotchguard is at the customer’s own risk and the use of any such protective treatment carries inherent risks, including the possibility of altering the appearance, texture, or performance of the carpet. Therefore, customers should weigh the potential benefits and risks before deciding to apply any treatment to their carpet.

Vacuum Cleaning

Regular vacuuming is essential to maintain your carpet’s beauty and lifespan. It removes dirt, debris, and prevents soil build-up effectively.

Tips for Effective Vacuuming:

  • Vacuum from different angles: Cover the fibres from multiple directions for thorough cleaning.
  • Multiple passes: Go over each area several times, focusing more on high-traffic zones.
  • Test first: Try your vacuum in an inconspicuous spot to ensure it doesn’t cause damage.

Use a suction-only vacuum or one with an adjustable beater bar and soft brushes for loop pile or delicate carpets. Avoid vacuums with automatic adjustments, as they may set brushes too low, risking fibre damage.

Some vacuums may cause fuzzing or sprouting on certain carpets. Check your manufacturer’s recommendations or consult a professional for guidance. Remember, the user is responsible for ensuring compatibility and proper use.

Gentle, regular vacuuming with the right tools will help maintain your carpet’s appearance and extend its life.

Crushing

Heavy furniture can cause depressions or crush the carpet pile over time. To minimise this, gently brush the affected area to help restore the pile. Using furniture castors or protective pads can also distribute weight more evenly and reduce the risk of crushing.

It’s important to choose an appropriate underlay to provide adequate protection against compression. Avoid overly soft or plush underlay, as it can amplify the effects of crushing at contact points beneath furniture.

For persistent depressions, consider using a steam iron on a low setting (without direct contact) to gently lift the fibres, or consult a professional for assistance.
