Rugs add warmth to offices, hotels and homes but need maintenance. For large, delicate or difficult-to-handle items, consider a carpet cleaning service<\/a> suited to the fibres and backing. This guide also covers routine care.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"carpet<\/a><\/p>\n

Vacuum regularly<\/h2>\n

Adjust frequency to use and the carpet’s instructions. Use a compatible power setting and attachment, especially on delicate fibres or fringes. Cleaning helps remove particles but does not guarantee removal of all allergens.<\/p>\n

Dealing with spills<\/h2>\n

Blot liquids promptly with a clean cloth without rubbing or spreading the stain. Avoid soaking the backing and check the appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n

Different stains need different treatments. Choose a product compatible with the fibre and stain type. Do not use vinegar or warm water as a universal remedy, especially for protein stains.<\/p>\n

Dealing with odours<\/h2>\n

Identify the cause first: moisture, residues, smoke or other sources. Do not roll up a damp carpet or spread salt or baking soda without checking compatibility.<\/p>\n

Remove residues using a suitable method and ensure complete drying. Persistent odours may require professional inspection of the underlay or backing.<\/p>\n

Difficult stains<\/h2>\n

Before treating a stain, test discreetly for compatibility and colourfastness.<\/p>\n
