KEEPING YOUR CARPETS CLEAN AND LOOKING THEIR BEST?
Carpets Cleaned with Excellence
Carpets require regular maintenance and cleaning. Clean carpets with a vacuum cleaner to remove any surface dust, debris and dirt. To clean carpets, use a cylinder vacuum cleaner for best results. Most vacuum cleaners have an upright design and press against the threads of the carpet and can spoil their appearance. You can rearrange furniture, and in areas of high wear and tear put extra pads to reduce the wear and tear.
Any spills must be removed immediately – the longer the spillage remains on the carpet, the less chance of removing stains without a trace. Collect the spill on an absorbent cloth and remove solid contamination by scraping with a knife, then remove stains in accordance with the instructions of the list below.
