Caring for your carpet is important as it not only helps eliminate the dirt that can cause stains but also preserves the carpet’s initial texture, extending its overall lifespan. Here’s a quick rundown of the basics of carpet care.

CARE & CLEANING

Vacuuming

Weekly vacuuming is recommended so that soil does not become embedded in the pile, causing accelerated wear by abrading the fibres at the base of the tufts. There are three types of vacuum cleaners: plain suction, beater bar, and revolving bristle strip. All are efficient for regular cleaning. The last stroke of the vacuum cleaner should be in the pile direction.

Professional Cleaning

Cleaning by hot water extraction (Steam cleaning) can produce excellent results provided that a competent and qualified operator carries it out. Ensure that the operator treats an isolated test area and that you are satisfied with the result before proceeding to all areas.

Treatments

The carpet is not warranted if treated with products other than those recommended by Supertuft or those described in the Woolmark Walk on Wool brochure.

SHADING & INSTALLATION

Shading

Shading (watermarking, permanent pile reversal) will occur in cut pile carpet due to unknown factors other than traffic and is not regarded as a manufacturing fault. Shading occurs in Velour and Twist styles. Before purchasing, read “Permanent Pile Reversal Shading”.

Protection

We recommend using protective mats in areas where furniture is moved regularly on castors.

Any pile loss due to repetitive furniture movement or similar activity is not covered by the guarantee and will not occur if protective mats are used. These mats are available from most office suppliers.

Installation

The carpet must be installed according to the requirements of the relevant Australian Standards. If, due to movement of furniture or excessive traffic, the carpet shows any sign of rippling, then we recommend that it be re-stretched as soon as possible to ensure that damage to the carpet does not occur.
