There are some tips and hacks that can ensure that your carpets are clean and ready to shine for the season.
Regular Vacuuming– Wool is a natural dust repellent. A regular vacuum of at least twice a week helps keep the carpet clean. Loop carpets are more delicate and should be vacuumed without a brush. In case any thread comes over the surface, do not pull it out. Cut it with a scissor.
Cleaning Stains— In case of drop or spillage in a carpet, put a blotting paper immediately over it which will absorb it quickly. To minimize absorption into the pile, press the spot from the sides for maximum removal. On tough spots, try with an equal amount of white vinegar and water. Club soda is the appropriate thinner for coffee stains and red wine; corn-starch for grease; the iron and transfer method for candle wax.
Avoid dust, dirt, and moisture— Wet carpets lead to mould and mildew growth. Further, wet wool starts rotting with bad odor. Ensure the proper aeration of the carpet periodically.
Deodorizer— If you like to deodorize your carpets, avoid chemical-laden options, and make your own with baking soda and a few drops of essential oils.
Storing— Keep a few pouches of silica gel in the roll to keep it dry while storing the carpet.
Protective Layering— For preventive maintenance, the carpet can be protected by putting on a layer of Fabric Scotchgard, once in three to six months depending on the usage.
