Carpet Care Guide
It is very important and necessary to follow the recommendations below for your carpet to maintain its beauty and durability longer.
- If the pile threads under heavy objects are flattened, the pile threads in this area should preferably be brushed first and then vacuumed with a vacuum cleaner that has a beating action.
- To prevent dust accumulating on the carpet from settling between the pile threads and into the base, the carpet should be maintained by vacuuming at regular intervals.
- Vacuuming should be done with a vacuum cleaner in the direction of the pile threads and with slow movements. The carpet should not be subjected to harsh impacts such as beating or slapping during cleaning.
- Excessive water and shampoo should be avoided when cleaning the carpet.
- The carpet should never be washed; after cleaning with shampoo, it should be wiped with water and dried immediately.
- A staining substance spilled on the carpet can be removed if intervened instantly and correctly.
- The stain should first be absorbed by the vacuum cleaner on a high setting, and then cleaned with a small amount of water and carpet shampoo by moving in the direction of vacuuming. After cleaning, the remaining moisture should be removed by dabbing with a vacuum cleaner or a moisture-absorbing cloth or similar material (e.g., paper tissue).
- Stain removal should first be tested in an inconspicuous area of the carpet with the chemical to be used for stain removal.
- The pile threads in the area where cleaning was performed should be combed with a brush to stand upright.
- The carpet should be kept away from stoves and similar heating devices.
- Direct sunlight will damage the carpet, so the carpet should not be left in such an environment for a long time.
- During transport, the carpet should not be allowed to get wet, and hard, pointed, and sharp objects should not be allowed to damage the carpet.
Stain First Aid
- Stains should be intervened immediately as soon as they occur. Otherwise, removing the stain may be difficult or impossible.
- When removing a stain, the goal should be to remove the causative substance from the carpet without applying any chemical treatment. As much of the stain as possible should be absorbed from the carpet before applying any chemical substance.
- Rubbing by pressing on the stain is not correct as it will cause the stain to penetrate deep into the carpet.
- If you are trying to remove a stain with carpet shampoo, you should only use the foam of the shampoo. If you use shampoo or water, you may cause a dirty appearance.
- To prevent permanent damage to the pile and texture of the carpet, cleaning should not be done with chemicals like bleach, only recommended carpet cleaning products should be used.
- To prevent the stain from spreading, it should be cleaned from the outside towards the center.
- After cleaning, the stain may reappear on the dry carpet. The reason is that during dissolution, the stain penetrates to the dry base of the pile, and as it dries from the bottom towards the pile, the stain may reappear. Therefore, you may need to apply the stain removal process several times.
