5 tips for maintaining and cleaning your thick carpet in winter
Winter is the season when our carpets are put to the test. Between humidity, dust and dirt from shoes, it 's essential to take the right precautions to keep your carpet soft and shiny. Discover our 5 tips for effectively maintaining and cleaning your carpet in winter.
1. Vacuum regularly to remove dust
Thick carpets easily trap dust and allergens, especially in winter when windows are often left closed. To prevent build-up, vacuum at least twice a week using a suitable brush to preserve the fibres. Discover our selection of thick winter rugs for a warm and cosy interior with TAWABIKA rugs.
2. Protect your carpet from traces of moisture
Snow and rain can be real enemies for your carpet. Place a doormat at the entrance to limit water marks, and make sure you wipe your shoes before entering. In the event of a damp stain, blot immediately with a dry cloth and leave to dry in the open air. Don't forget to use suitable cleaning products, available in our category dedicated to TAWABIKA carpets.
3. Use bicarbonate of soda to neutralise odours
In winter, indoor air is less renewed and carpets can absorb ambient odours. Sprinkle baking soda on your carpet, leave for a few hours, then vacuum up. This will eliminate unpleasant odours and restore freshness to your textile fibres.
4. Remove stains immediately
Mud, hot chocolate and wine stains are common in winter. To prevent them from sticking, dab immediately with a mixture of warm water and mild soap. Avoid excessive rubbing that could damage the carpet fibres. For in-depth cleaning, find our cleaning solutions here, specially adapted to TAWABIKA carpets.
5. Air your carpet to prevent moisture build-up
Even in winter, it 's important to air your home and carpets to prevent the proliferation of dust mites and mould. Take advantage of dry days to open the windows and, if possible, expose your carpet to fresh air for a few hours.
