Carpet Care

It is extremely important to possess the right kind of knowledge as far carpet care and maintenance is concerned. Some people prefer cleaning on their own while others seek professional carpet cleaning help.

How do I clean my Rug or Carpet?

For monthly cleaning, one should vacuum in the direction of the pile of the rug. It is strongly advised not to vacuum in the opposite direction of the pile of the rug as it will only ruin your carpet. Too much vacuuming can wear down the knots and fibers more quickly. If you have a suction attachment on your vacuum cleaner, use that instead of a rotary vacuum. According to scientific research, tests have shown that vacuuming can kill at least 100% of young fleas and 96% of adult fleas present in a carpet or rug.

What happens when on a Friday night your guest spills a glass of wine on your favorite rug? Your heart sinks and the very next morning you want to take it for a quick wash.

Should I steam or Dry clean my Rug?

Please do not do this! While it may sound like a great deep cleanse, it could irreversibly damage your rug. Imagine for a moment all the dirt that is trapped inside the grooves of the rug. Now imagine forcing steam into these grooves. The result is a muddy mess. Not only that, the combination of high heat and chemicals will strip the wool fibers of their natural oils.
