Carpets are the most used and most soiled textiles in our homes. The right cleaning and care extends your carpet's lifespan while protecting your home's hygiene. In this guide we cover every stage of carpet cleaning, step by step.
🧭 How Often Should Carpets Be Cleaned?
Carpets in normal use should be professionally cleaned once or twice a year, living-room carpets with heavy foot traffic every 3-4 months, and valuable silk and handwoven carpets once a year. If you have small children or pets at home, increase this frequency.

💧 Carpet Cleaning Methods
Each carpet type requires a different method. Machine-made carpets suit pressure washing, while silk and wool carpets need low moisture and controlled heat. In professional facilities your carpet's fibre structure is analysed and the right method is selected.
Important: The wrong method can cause colour bleeding, shrinkage and permanent damage. Always get expert support for valuable carpets.
