Installation
Good quality fitting and installation is essential. Have it done by a professional.

Vacuum Cleaning
Man-made fibre carpets and wool twist pile carpets should be vaccumed regularly as soon as they are laid. New velvet pile carpets need time for the fibres to bed-down and therefore should not be vacuumed for 2-3 weeks after fitting. Instead they should be brushed with a carpet sweeper in the direction of the pile. During this time use the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner to pick up any isolated pieces.

Vacuuming Loop Pile
These should be vacuumed using a cylinder cleaner using the suction head only. Avoid using beater heads and brushes as they will catch on the fibres and cause bobbling.

Vacuuming Cut Pile
These should be vacuumed with an upright cleaner with a beater bar and brush.

Maintenance
• Vacuum your carpet at least two or three times a week.
• Use a large, strong doormat to reduce dirt from outside coming into the house.
• Avoid using light coloured carpet next to external entrances.

Cleaning
• Spillages should be dealt with immediately. Blot all the liquid off with dry kitchen towel.
• Any remaining stain should be cleaned using a clean damp cloth soaked in warm water with a    little white vinegar to blot the stain. Use a dabbling action with the cloth and then blot any liquid    that remains with dry kitchen towel.
• Do not rub the pile surface or oversoak the stain.
• Always work from the outside of the stain towards the middle.
