Carpets are essential complements in the decoration, as well as a great resource to change the look of the environments. As they are not valid, the time to change them depends a lot on the maintenance and intensity of use.
Check out our tips to make your rug last even longer!
- Prevention from the dirt
Use door mats or runners on all entrances in the house. This prevents people from entering the environment with dirt on their feet. But, remember: they must be cleaned regularly.
- Avoid damaging
Use protectors under heavy furniture or furniture with casters to damage the wires or cause marks. Also, rearrange your furniture whenever you can, to change areas of use. This is a great way to care for carpets and rugs.
- Look for the best cleaning products.
We at cleaning company London use specific products for cleaning carpets and rugs (such as Carpex) that can also remove dirt stains. Brushing should be done with a soft bristle brush and in the direction of the hair.
- Don’t go with abrasive products
Never use abrasive products based on chlorine, ammonia, or bleach, as they can discolor and stain the carpets. You should always do cleaning with mild soap and water. A trick? Periodically rotate the carpet in the room so that the colors wear out evenly.
- Pay attention to stains as fast as you can
The faster you take action, the better the result. First, remove as much of what was spilled as possible. In the case of solid things, scrape off the excess and vacuum up the spot. For damp stains, let the liquid get soaked with white paper towels.
After that, apply a neutral product on the spot. It can be soap, detergent, or even shampoo, as long as it is neutral. Make a little foam and apply it on the spot of the stain. It helps to preserve the material and care for rugs and carpets.
Specific recommendations for each type of carpet:
- Leather – Should not be washed. Clean with a damp cloth only.
- Nylon, polypropylene, viscose, and fabric need to be washed with water and mild soap.
- Wool – Take it to specialized stores for dry cleaning.
