Caring for your new carpet

We have collected our best tips for cleaning, care and general maintenance of your carpet in this article. Just follow these simple guidelines and your carpet will
perform and look great for years.
Regular care of your carpet
Walking on your carpet is not the only way your carpet wears. Whenever people walk into your home, soil and grit from their shoes (or feet), will be deposited on the carpet and eventually work its way into the pile of your carpet. This dirt and grit actually abrades the carpet fiber, and if left in the pile will prematurely wear out your carpet.
Vacuuming
Regular vacuuming is the key to keeping your new carpet young, fresh, and beautiful. And vacuuming often, especially in the fist days after installation, helps dissipate that ‘new carpet smell’. If possible, vacuum heavy traff areas every day. Less heavily used areas can be maintained with a once-a-week vacuuming. Vacuum about three passes for light cleaning; up to seven passes where there’s more soil.
For loop pile carpet, avoid attachments with teeth or ridges. Today’s are designed so, even with years of regular use, they will not look dirty. Appearances can be very deceiving. Even though they may look “clean” they will contain grit and dirt.
Change the scenery
Redistributing the load your carpet bares can lengthen its life. So, rearrange your furniture periodically to give some areas of your carpet a rest.
Professional hot water extraction cleaning
Professional hot water extraction cleaning is recommended by Wuxi Diamond Carpet every 12 to 18 months to remove dirt and grit from your carpet.Another important reason for regular professional cleaning is to remove the dust-mites, bacteria, etc that accumulate in carpet as food specks and human skin cells fall onto your carpet.
Hot water extraction cleaning removes bacteria and kills dust mites, and generally refreshes your carpet. We strongly support the methods and recommendations contained in the Australia/New Zealand standard for Carpet Cleaning No 3733. We do not recommend the use of steam mops or other devices on your carpet. Occasional professional cleaning rejuvenates your carpet however constant use of these devices can damage the fibers.
