Keeping your carpets clean

Here are our top 5 tips to help you maintain the beauty of your carpets and prevent them from fading.

1. Vacuum regularly: The frequency and type of vacuum depending on your carpet's pile. Use an upright vacuum with a beater bar for twist pile carpets and one without a beater bar for loop piles. Aim for two to three times a week, and pay extra attention to high-traffic areas.

2. Tackle stains promptly: Quick action is crucial for preventing stains from setting in. Refer to our stain removal guide for effective techniques against common culprits.

3. Minimise dirt and soil: Place mats at entry points to trap dirt and debris before they reach your carpet. Avoid rubber-backed mats, as they can discolour the carpet over time.

4. Shoe-free zones: Encourage everyone to remove their shoes before entering carpeted areas. This drastically reduces the amount of dirt and grime tracked in.

5. Protect from sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Close curtains or blinds when possible to shield your carpet from harsh sunlight.

Tackling tough stains

Don't let spills steal the show! Keep your carpets looking their best with these 5 essential tips:

1. Blot, don't rub: Immediately absorb as much of the spill as possible with a clean, absorbent cloth—blot by pressing the cloth down repeatedly without spreading the stain. Never rub, as this can push the stain deeper and damage the fibres.

2. Identify the culprit: Knowing the source of the stain helps choose the right cleaning solution. Common types include food and beverage spills, pet accidents, and grease.

3. Prepare your cleaning solution: Mix mild dish soap with cool water in a spray bottle. For tougher stains, consult a stain removal guide for specific cleaning solutions like vinegar or baking soda. Always test the solution on an inconspicuous area of the carpet first.

4. Treat the stain: Lightly spray the cleaning solution onto the stain, working from the outside inwards to prevent spreading. Blot with a clean cloth, repeating until the stain lifts.

5. Rinse and dry: Once the stain is gone, rinse the area with plain water to remove any cleaning residue. Blot with a clean towel to absorb moisture, and air-dry the carpet completely.

Pro-tip: For stubborn stains, you may need to repeat the process or seek professional carpet cleaning services.
