Maintenance of carpet

 

Carpet maintenance

Carpet care starts the very first day of installation...and you will then enjoy a beautiful carpet appearance for many years to come. However, the day-to-day accidents and stains are part of life and cannot be avoided. Beaulieu Canada, Canada's most important carpet manufacturing company, has prepared for you the following chart, designed to help you take care of your carpets yourself.

Caution: they are many carpet cleaning products on the market, but none can compare with the experience and expertise of a professional carpet cleaning specialist. Should you still want to do it yourself, the following tips will help you in getting better results.

This list includes most of solid and liquid matters that may stain your carpet.

Whenever two cleaning processes are mentioned (ex. : B-M), use the first one (B), if needed, uses the second process (M).

Note: Test any cleaning or stain removing product on a non visible part of the carpet to identify any colour alteration. The stain removal processes indicated below reflect general knowledge about products and materials. Do combine or use two processes unless clearly specified. Doing so, could damage your carpet. Contact a carpet cleaning professional and describe the process or product you have unsuccessfully used. He will be able to give you some advice.
