How to properly clean

Practicality and ease of care depends not only on the composition of the material, but also on compliance with the technological process in its production.

Carpet cleaning helps to keep the product looking attractive longer. Do not be upset if after the first cleaning there will be a lot of fluff in the dust collector. These are the remains of a factory haircut, and will not be there during the next cleaning.

Check the label before cleaning. Wool and viscose will require more careful handling. These materials do not tolerate moisture and dampness, dry for a long time. Vacuuming is an easy way to remove dirt. From home remedies, starch or soda is suitable. But it is better to purchase a carpet cleaner.

Faux carpets are easier to care for. They are considered the most practical. Resistant to water, they can be washed with powder. Silk models should be dry-cleaned.

Carpets should be vacuumed 1-2 times a week to restore the color to the material. Make sure that the stains do not eat in and do not dry out.

But if this happens, the contamination must be carefully scraped off with a knife. And process with special means with active ingredients. They can easily remove even stubborn stains.

Do not use bleach. It is advisable to test any new product on an inconspicuous part of the carpet.
