Taking care of carpets does not require any technical knowledge neither it is a big challenge. You only have to learn some basics and you can keep colour and texture of your premium carpets intact. Here you will know how you can take care of your handmade carpets easily.
Use vacuum cleaner-
Cleaning your carpet is straightforward with a vacuum cleaner and should be a regular part of your home maintenance routine. Frequent vacuuming helps keep your carpet looking fresh and can reduce the need for professional cleaning. However, it’s crucial to use your vacuum cleaner correctly to avoid damage. Always avoid using the beater bar, especially on fine carpets like wool. The beater bar’s rotating action can create a strong suction effect that scrapes and wears down the delicate carpet fibers, potentially causing long-term damage. Instead, opt for a vacuum setting that is gentle on your carpet to ensure it remains in excellent condition.
Avoid spills-
While avoiding spills is ideal, they can sometimes happen. When they do, quickly use a paper towel to blot the area and then spray water on it. Blot again to lift the stain. For pet urine, use a mixture of white vinegar or soda to treat the area; this helps manage unpleasant odors and effectively neutralizes the smell.
Rotate it periodically-
Regularly rotating your carpet ensures that it fades uniformly and prevents uneven wear. By shifting its position, you distribute foot traffic and sunlight exposure more evenly across the entire surface. This helps to avoid concentrated wear spots and maintains the carpet’s appearance over time. In essence, rotating the carpet helps to extend its lifespan and keeps it looking fresh and vibrant.
Clean-
It is advisable to wash carpets using cleaners specifically formulated for carpet care, as these are designed to maintain the carpet’s texture and color. Avoid using dry cleaning methods or steam cleaning, which may cause damage or lead to quicker wear.
Additionally, using an underlay can significantly reduce wear and tear on your carpet. It provides a cushion, keeping the carpet securely in place and adding an extra layer of protection. While our carpets are equipped with anti-skid backing, which helps prevent movement and adds stability, an underlay can further enhance durability and comfort.
Repair-
Damages in a handmade carpet can be easily repaired. There are specialist who can restore the colour, repair small holes and damages along the sides of the carpet.
