CARPET CARE

A little care goes a long way.

Simple, general carpet-care habits to help you look after your carpets between professional visits.

Keep up with regular vacuuming

Frequent vacuuming helps lift everyday loose dirt before it becomes more deeply embedded in carpet fibres. Follow your carpet manufacturer’s care guidance.

Act carefully with spills

Blot gently with a clean absorbent cloth rather than rubbing. Avoid experimenting with unsuitable products, especially on delicate or unknown carpet fibres.

Pay attention to entrances

Entrance mats and sensible footwear habits can help limit dirt tracked through carpeted spaces.

Ask when you are unsure

If a mark will not shift or you are unsure about your carpet type, describe the issue and seek appropriate advice rather than risking damage.

General guidance only.

Always follow your carpet manufacturer’s instructions. Some fibres and stains need specialist assessment; home remedies can sometimes make marks worse.

EVERYDAY HABITS

Small choices can help you care for your carpet.

Consistency often matters more than an elaborate routine. Vacuum according to your carpet manufacturer's instructions, pay particular attention to entrances and busy walking routes, and deal with new spills carefully.

Rather than rubbing a spill into the fibres, gently blot with a clean absorbent cloth. Avoid harsh products or mixing chemicals — particularly if you don't know the carpet material. If the spill is significant, persistent or unusual, seek suitable advice.

Furniture can alter how a carpet wears over time. Where practical, be mindful of repeated foot traffic and protect carpets from excess tracked-in dirt. These everyday steps don't replace professional advice but can be a useful starting point.

KEEP IT SENSIBLE

Not every home remedy is a good idea.

Always prioritise your carpet manufacturer's instructions and ask when you're unsure of the material or what caused a mark.
