General maintenance principles for wool carpets:
Protect the carpet from moisture, avoid soaking the carpet.
Regularly vacuum the carpet - in the initial period of use (about 6 months), use only a gentle plastic nozzle, avoid using a brush attachment.
Immediately remove stains and dirt.
Entrust carpet cleaning to specialized service companies.
Vacuuming:
The carpet should be vacuumed regularly, at least once a week, especially during heavy usage.
Wet cleaning:
The best method for wet cleaning a wool carpet is shampooing, which protects against soaking. It is best to use the services of a professional company using proven chemical agents. When refreshing a soiled carpet at home, use the best products available on the market and follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Always remember to thoroughly vacuum the carpet before shampooing. If the carpet gets wet during shampooing, it should be dried horizontally at room temperature.
Stain and dirt removal:
The basic rule for effectively removing stains and dirt from a Dywilan carpet is immediate action. Any spilled liquids should be quickly blotted with paper towels or fabric, while other dirt should be removed gently with a knife or spoon. Always clean stains from the edges towards the center. Do not rub the stain, as rubbing enlarges the stain and distorts the pile. To prevent rings from forming, sprinkle talcum powder or cornstarch around the edges of the stain. For mud stains, wait for them to dry first, then vacuum with a vacuum cleaner.
