Guide to cleaning Power-Loom carpets
Tips and tricks
-
Regular vacuuming is the key
Regular vacuuming is the basis for a clean Power-Loom carpet. Use a vacuum cleaner with an adjustable height setting to avoid excessive pressure on the carpet fibers. Opt for a brushless attachment or switch off the brush roll to avoid damaging the fibers. Vacuum in the direction of the pile to effectively remove dirt and debris. Vacuum at least once a week, or more frequently in high traffic areas.

Remove soiling immediately
Accidents happen, but quick action can prevent permanent stains. Blot the spill with a clean, white cloth or paper towel. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibers. Gently blot the stain with a mixture of mild detergent and water, working from the outer edges towards the center. Rinse the area with clean water and blot again to remove excess moisture.

Deep cleansing and care
For thorough cleaning, you should give your carpet a deep clean every 12 to 18 months, depending on how much it is used. Follow these steps:
1. Check the care instructions for our products for specific cleaning recommendations.
2. test a small, inconspicuous area of the carpet with your chosen cleaning solution to ensure that it does not cause color fading or damage.

Preventive measures
To keep your Power-Loom rug looking its best, there are a few preventative measures you can take:
1. Use a rug pad to cushion the floor and rug, prevent slipping and protect the rug.
2. rotate your carpet every few months to even out the wear and tear.
3. avoid exposing the rug to direct sunlight as this can lead to fading over time.
4. keep your pets' nails trimmed to avoid snagging and excessive wear.
In summary, with proper care and attention, your Power-Loom carpet can retain its vibrant colors and soft texture for years to come. Regular vacuuming, quick cleanup of spills, occasional deep cleaning and preventative measures play a crucial role in preserving the beauty and longevity of your carpet. By following these guidelines, you can be sure that your Power-Loom rug will remain a stylish and inviting addition to your living space.
