The basics of good maintenance
Regular vacuuming helps prevent the accumulation of dust, dust mites and other dirt. Depending on the layout of your carpet, you can adapt your vacuuming frequency.
Cleaning frequency
Daily cleaning
Regular vacuuming helps prevent the accumulation of dust, dust mites and other dirt. Depending on the layout of your carpet, you can adapt your vacuum frequency. If your carpet is placed in a high-traffic area such as the entrance hall, dining room, living room... we recommend daily vacuuming. However, if the latter is rather sheltered from traffic, such as in a bedroom, you can opt for weekly vacuuming.
Deep cleaning
With the exception of viscose carpets, we recommend that you aerate, shake and beat your carpet once a year to remove any dirt that may have accumulated deep down. In addition to regular maintenance, deep cleaning ensures the longevity and durability of your carpet. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you call in a professional every three to five years.
Cleaning according to material
Before washing, please refer to the instructions on the product label.
Synthetic fibers
Carpets made from synthetic fibers such as viscose, polypropylene or polyester are easy to clean with soapy water. Here are the steps to follow:
- Start by vacuuming your carpet to remove dust and surface particles.
- Prepare a cleaning mixture by combining one liter of water with one glass of washing-up liquid and half a glass of ammonia.
- Take a soft brush and soak it in the cleaning mixture. Gently rub the carpet to remove stains and dirt.
- After cleaning, rinse the carpet with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
If you prefer more natural and ecological cleaning methods, you can opt for Marseille soap or black soap to clean your synthetic carpet. What's more, using a steam cleaner is a viable option for deep cleaning your synthetic carpet.
Then let the carpet dry completely. If you have a polypropylene or polyester carpet, avoid using a hair dryer, as this could damage the fibers. Prefer a clean, dry cloth that you can gently dab onto the carpet to speed up the drying process.
