MAINTENANCE
How do I keep my newly installed carpet clean?
INITIAL MAINTENANCE
It is very important to vacuum your carpet thoroughly and frequently, particularly in high traffic areas to prolong the life and enhance the appearance of your carpet. Some carpets 'shed' to begin with, but then settle in.
​
STEAM CLEANING YOUR CARPET
Depending on usage carpet should be professionally steam cleaned every 12-18 months.
​
Steam Cleaning should only be undertaken by a professional carpet cleaner who is a member of a professional association in accordance with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZ 3733:1995.
​
Shampooing, do it yourself steam cleaning or dry cleaning are not recommended.
