Regular Maintenance
Vacuum Regularly
Vacuuming often is wool's best friend. This is the most effective and economical way to remove soil and dirt particles before they become embedded into the carpet pile. You can not over vacuum and vacuuming should begin the day the wall-to-wall carpet, runner or area rug is installed.
For a Woven carpet use a beater bar brush for best results.
For a Tufted carpet use suction-only vacuum is recommended to prevent excessive fuzzing.
Spot & Stain Removal
- Blot up liquids with paper towels or an absorbent cloth and scoop up any solids.
- See Stain Removal Guide for the recommended spot removal process.
- Work inward from the edge of the spot to prevent excess spreading. Do not rub, as
this may cause the spot to spread.
- Do not saturate with water.
- Blot dry between each step as indicated on the Stain Removal Guide.
