How to care for your carpet

Day to day

• Vacuum once or twice a week along the pile, without a rotating brush on long-pile (shaggy) carpets.
• Rotate the carpet every 6 months so it wears evenly.
• Use an anti-slip underlay: it protects both carpet and floor.

Stains

• Act at once: blot (don't rub!) with a clean towel.
• Lukewarm water with a little neutral detergent; rinse with clean water and towel dry.
• No bleach and no harsh dry-cleaning on wool or viscose.

Deep cleaning

• Synthetic carpets: wet cleaning at home or at a cleaner, once or twice a year.
• Wool and viscose: professional dry cleaning only.
• Always dry fully, laid flat, away from direct sun.

Storage

Roll with the pile inwards, wrapped in paper or cloth (not plastic), in a dry place.
