Vacuum cleaning is vital in maintaining the carpets appearance and preventing severe deterioration.
In areas of high use, or where local
conditions dictate, this should be done daily to remove dry soil, dust and grit, which can damage carpet fibers, and to restore flattened pile
to an upright position.
An upright cleaner, with strong suction and rotating brushes, is the most effective in this, provided that the dust container is emptied frequently. Much of the efficiency is lost as these fill up. Use suction only type of cleaners on loop pile carpets. Stains and spillages
It is vital that accidental spillages are dealt with both very quickly and correctly, as failure to do so can result in carpets being permanently marked and, in extreme cases, severely damaged.
Any hot liquid which contains colour, from tea and coffee through to vomit, simulates dye conditions and is vital that the substance is removed from the carpet immediately. Scotchgard treatments, in line with all other protective treatments, provide stain resistance only - THEY DO NOT PROVIDE STAIN PROOFING. Their effectiveness is still dependent on prompt and correct treatment of stains & spillages.
