Want to learn how to care for your carpet? If so, these tips are for you:
- Vacuum once a week in the direction of the grain and avoid vacuuming the edges.
- To clean fringes, even out grain, and return threads to their original position, use a handkerchief tied to the broom.
- Rotate your rug regularly to prevent wear in the same area and uneven aging.
- If your rug wrinkles due to rolling, it's normal for them to disappear after two weeks of laying it out.
- If you spill water, juice or any other water-soluble liquid, act quickly by gently dabbing with a paper towel, cotton cloth or absorbent towel.
- If washing is required, leave it in expert hands.
