Carpets add cosiness and a warm, cozy atmosphere to our homes. To ensure that this remains the case and that our favorite piece retains its shine over the long term and also to prevent dust and bacteria from settling in the carpet fibres, it is advisable to care for the floor-flattering carpet regularly. In this blog article we have put together the 3 most important tips for carpet care.
Regular vacuuming is the most important thing when it comes to keeping our carpets beautiful for a long time. Vacuuming prevents dust, pet hair, bacteria and surface dirt particles from getting stuck in the fibers of the carpet. In order not to stress the fibers of the carpet too much, it is advisable to use a special attachment for carpets on the vacuum cleaner. It doesn't matter in which direction you suck. The only exception carpets made of silk. Due to their sensitivity, these should not be vacuumed at all. Instead, with silk carpets, it is better to use a soft brush with which you can remove superficial dirt from the carpet in the direction of the grain.
Vacuuming sometimes only removes superficial dirt, so you should also shake out your carpet at regular intervals. This is best done outside on the balcony or in the garden. Alternatively, of course, the windowsill. It is important to only tap the back of the carpet. Tapping the front will only drive the dirt deeper into the fibers. Therefore, a simple brushing is sufficient for the front side.
Regularly unhooking and beating your carpet also has the advantage that it smells fresh again afterwards.
