Vacuuming routine
Vacuum high-traffic areas two or three times a week and the rest weekly, slowly and in two directions. Remove grit early because it cuts fibres. Use a brush bar on synthetic carpets and suction only on delicate wool.
Spot removal
Blot, do not rub. Tea and coffee respond to cold water and mild detergent, oil needs a dry powder such as baking soda first, and pet accidents need an enzyme cleaner to remove odour. Test any product on a hidden corner.
Home methods
Shampoo machines suit synthetic carpets, steam suits many nylon and polyester carpets, and dry compound cleaning suits delicate wool and quick drying. Follow the manufacturer's care label.

Drying and mould
Wet carpets must dry within 24 hours to avoid mould and odours: open windows, run fans and remove furniture. Never leave a soaked carpet closed in humid weather.
When to call a professional
Call a professional for large stains, wool or silk rugs, water damage and annual deep cleans. Ask about their method, drying time and what they guarantee. Compare at least two quotes.
Prevention
Use doormats, remove shoes indoors and rotate furniture. Treat spills quickly. Installation should be done by a trained flooring fitter, with the subfloor checked for level, dryness and strength first.
Check before you clean
- Care label. Confirm which methods are safe.
- Colourfastness. Test on a hidden spot.
- Drying. Make sure you can ventilate the room.
- Fibre. Wool and silk need gentler care.
Before you decide
Vacuum often, treat stains quickly and dry carpets fully. Measure each room and add 8 to 10 percent for cuts and waste, compare at least two quotes on the same product, thickness, wear layer and fitting scope, and keep the invoice and warranty card. Ask for a sample you can test in your own light and keep a spare box or two from the same batch for repairs. Check that the subfloor is level, dry and clean before work starts, agree stage payments, and inspect the finished floor in daylight before paying the final instalment. Prices change with material costs, exchange rates and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide.
