Carpet care

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.

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:

1. Start by vacuuming your carpet to remove dust and surface particles.
2. Prepare a cleaning mixture by combining one liter of water with one glass of washing-up liquid and half a glass of ammonia.
3. Take a soft brush and soak it in the cleaning mixture. Gently rub the carpet to remove stains and dirt.
4. After cleaning, rinse the carpet with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
5. 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.
6. 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.

Carpets made from natural fibres, such as wool, cotton, jute or sisal, require more delicate cleaning because of their texture and organic composition. Here's how to care for these carpets:

1. Regular vacuuming: As with synthetic carpets, start by vacuuming your carpet to remove dust and surface dirt. Make sure you use a hoover with a low power setting to avoid damaging the natural fibres.
2. Stain removal: To remove stains from natural fibre carpets, use mild, non-aggressive products. Use a mixture of warm water and white vinegar (1/4 vinegar to 3/4 water) to remove localised stains. Apply the mixture with a clean cloth, then gently dab the affected area. Do not rub, as this could damage the fibres.
3. Carpet shampoo: If your carpet is particularly dirty, you can use a mild shampoo for natural fibre carpets. Dilute it in warm water and apply a small amount to the carpet. Use a soft brush to work the shampoo into a lather, then rinse thoroughly with cold water.
4. Dry naturally: After cleaning, be sure to let the carpet air dry, away from any direct source of heat. Carpets made from natural fibres, especially wool, should be left to air dry to prevent them from deforming or shrinking. We recommend laying them flat or hanging them up, but never in direct sunlight.
5. Preventive maintenance: For wool or cotton carpets, you can use a low-temperature steam cleaner for regular maintenance. However, avoid using aggressive chemicals, as they can alter the natural fibre.

By caring for your natural fibre carpets using gentle, respectful methods, you can guarantee their longevity while preserving their appearance and natural properties.
