The following carpet care programme will only be effective if started on a new carpet or one which has been restored by a good professional clean.

• Quality walk-off mats are recommended at entrances to reduce dirt and kitchen grease being walked into fitted carpets. To remain effective, clean these mats regularly and replace if necessary.
• Vacuum your carpet thoroughly and at least once daily in well used areas to prevent soil from setting into the pile. Ensure that your vacuum cleaner is well maintained and that the bar is changed regularly. Brushes, bristles, strips and beater bars can cause pilling or fuzzing.
• Remove spills and marks immediately, this will prevent the spillage from penetrating the fibre and becoming fixed. Maintain heavy traffic routes with Nouwens duo powder from time to time.
• If the above care is taken, your need for professional cleaning will be less. However, do not wait until your carpet becomes too dirty before arranging a general clean by a reputable professional cleaner.
• Remember that soil resistance treatments such as EASI-CARE are most effective if regular and correct maintenance procedures are followed from outset.
• The care and love you give your carpet will be returned in the enduring pleasure and warmth a well maintained carpet can provide.

Spot removal Procedures

• It is most important to clean up spills and marks immediately. The best method is to blot up liquids with white paper towels or white absorbent cloths. Scoop up solids with the blunt edge of a knife, a spoon or a spatula working inwards from the edge of the mark.
• Do not rush! Deep soiling might require repeated cleaning as it could 'wick' back after an initial clean. Allow the first clean to dry and vacuum well before repeating the procedure.
• To treat the mark with the most suitable product, contact one of our branches. It is best to consult us before doing irreparable damage to your carpet, should you be ensure of, or unsuccessful with a treatment.
