Carpet cleaning
Cleaning of wool, sisal, and coconut carpets
Regular and proper care will extend the life of your carpet and maintain its original appearance. A vacuum cleaner is suitable for daily cleaning. It is recommended to thoroughly clean the carpet every 6 months or once a year, depending on how much it is used. First, vacuum thoroughly, removing loose dirt and dust. Remove solids with a knife or spoon, moving from the outside of the stain towards the center, always following the direction of the fibers. If a wet stain occurs, you should act as quickly as possible. First, try to remove the stain using lukewarm water, adding shampoo if necessary. Do not soak the carpet until it is completely wet. Keep it as dry as possible. A special carpet cleaner should be used on dirty areas. After treatment, cover the wet areas with a well-absorbent white cloth or napkin. A heavy object should be placed on the covered area. If the cloth or napkin gets wet, remove it and replace it with a new one. Do not walk on the part of the carpet that has been treated until it is completely dry.
