1. Proper care and periodic cleaning of your carpet is essential to ensure its beauty, utility and long life. Treatment of the affected area should begin immediately upon discovery. The more time that elapses before treatment, the more difficult a stain will be to remove. Regular vacuuming not only prolongs the life of the carpet, but will enhance its appearance as well. Regular vacuuming of your carpet is necessary to extract dirt and soil buildup in the carpet and helps maintain its original texture and appearance as well. If not cleaned regularly, loose dirt and soil are dug deep into the carpet, especially in areas of high traffic, causing damage to the carpet fibers. Accumulation of dirt and soil build can cause irreparable damage to the carpet. For best results, we suggest using a vacuum cleaner with good suction and a plain nozzle. Exercise care when using a vacuum cleaner with a power brush or a “beater bar.” Power brushes can damage the top layer of the carpet if used too strenuously and frequently. Three to five strokes of the vacuum cleaner is usually sufficient to clean any dirt. The strokes can be applied in forward and backward direction. Apply the last stroke in one direction to ensure a uniform appearance on the top layer of your carpet. Keep surface beneath the carpet clean.
2. Carpet Maintenance
   Any flattened portion of a carpet can be pulled up by putting steam iron over it.Place an ice cube in indentations left in the carpet by furniture, then let it melt. It’ll help the carpet fibers fill out and rise again.
3. To remove fresh stains from the carpet sponge club soda on the stained area.
4. Shave off burn markets on pile carpets.
5. Spilled grease or oils can be absorbed by cornmeal or baking soda. Leave overnight before vacumming.
6. Never try to steam-clean silk carpeting. Have it professionally dry cleaned.

   Recommended steps to remove food and beverage spills

1. All spills must be cleaned immediately before they can dry up. Scoop up as much of the spill as possible.
2. Blot the spill with a clean white, absorbent cloth or paper towel to extract excessive moisture. Do not rub or brush any spills or stains on the carpet.
3. Rinse the stain with warm, not hot, water and blot with clean, white cloth or paper towels. Press down firmly to remove as much moisture as possible. Repeat until no stain is evident on cloth or towels.
4. If stain remains, clean the stain with a mild liquid soap (do not use strong detergents) and water or carpet cleaner.

NOTE: Test for color run in a small, inconspicuous area first. Apply the solution of mild soap and water on that area. Press a clean, white, absorbent paper or towel against it and check if any color has bled onto that material or any discoloration has appeared on the carpet. Pouring few drops of white vinegar into a cup of the soap and water solution helps prevent colors from running. If discoloration continues, seek the assistance of a professional cleaner.

If the color does not run, apply the solution of liquid soap and water on to the stain. Work from the edge to the center of the stain to prevent it from spreading.
Rinse with warm water and bolt with a clean white, absorbent cloth or paper towel. Do not rub or brush any spills or stains on the carpet.
When completely dry, vacuum the pile to restore texture.
