General Carpet and Rug Care: Regular carpet
vacuuming is important for appearance and wear. Unless removed,
sharp particles of grit can become embedded and slice carpet
fibers. Use a carpet sweeper to pick up daily dirt, crumbs,
hair, etc. Vacuum carpets and rugs weekly. Slowly vacuum each
area several times to loosen and remove dirt. Shampoo carpets
and rugs only as needed.
Prolong Carpet Life: Don't get carpet too wet
while shampooing. Don't let
metal gliders from furniture stand on a damp carpet. Place small
pieces of aluminum foil under each leg to prevent contact with
damp carpet.
Never walk on damp carpet.
Don't pull sprouting ends of yarn; snip them.
Avoid dragging furniture across
carpet.
