CARPET CARE & CLEANING TIPS

Proper care and cleaning can make a big difference in retaining the appearance and performance of your

carpet over many years of use. And remember, no carpet is absolutely stain proof.

Carpet must be regularly maintained by following the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance

procedures, which typically include:

• Treating spots and stains as soon as they occur

• Regular vacuuming – weekly in general use areas and more often in high traffic areas such as

hallways

• Professional cleaning every 12 – 18 months to remove trapped soil.

FOUR SIMPLE TIPS:

1. USE ENTRANCE MATS

Place walk-off mats inside and outside entrances to your home to trap soil before it can be tracked in. Be

sure to clean mats weekly to ensure they don’t become soil sources. (Avoid latex-backed runners which

may yellow carpet).

2. VACUUM REGULARLY

Regular, thorough vacuuming will remove dust and gritty dirt particles and reduce the abrasion that can

dull and wear carpet fibers. A rotating brush power-head vacuum raises the carpet pile while it removes

the soil. Change the vacuum bag often. To reduce matting, change the direction of vacuuming

occasionally. Attention, some vacuums have aggressive brushes that may damage the pile surface. See

CRI for approved vacuum cleaners (www.carpet-rug.org

) for list and details.

3. CLEAN UP SPILLS IMMEDIATELY

Prompt attention to spots and spills will make removal easier. Always blot the area being cleaned, never

rub, scrub or brush. If stain persists, use the cleaning method described in the below Spot Removal

Guide.

4. SCHEDULE PROFESSIONAL CLEANINGS

Choose a qualified cleaning service, experienced in the latest techniques for advanced generation fibers

and have your carpet professionally cleaned every 12-18 months (keep all receipts for proof of cleaning).

High traffic areas & lighter carpet colors may require cleaning more often. Hot water extraction is the

preferred method, using products which are non-cationic and have a PH level less than 10. Non-

approved cleaning products or treatments will void your warranty. Thorough vacuuming is highly

recommended prior to all hot water extraction.

F. Allow area to dry and vacuum excess. Soak with lukewarm water for one minute and blot with sponge or white paper towel. Repeat until no stain is evident on the sponge or towel.

Test non-oily nail polish remover on an obscure non-visible piece of carpet to see if it removes carpet color.
