To make sure that your most expensive or newly
bought carpet stays in a pristine condition for
many decades, then you need to do something about
it right now.   For all their quality, strength
and durability, oriental carpets are still
powerless against various common issues that can
reduce the life expectancy of their fibres,
colours and patterns. Remember, Prevention is
better than cure and this statement goes well
with carpet care.   Lets take a look at the top
5 enemies of carpets that can destroy them
completely.

•  
• Water, Dampness And Moisture
•  
• A standout among the most harming components for
  oriental carpets is long and high exposure to
  water or continuous dampness. Even though water
  is utilised to clean woollen mats, apart from
  becoming a breeding house of insects, extreme
  exposure to water can really spoil the fibres of
  the floor covering whether they are made of
  cotton, wool, silk or any other material. To
  prevent growth of mould or mildew on a floor
  covering, it should be totally and appropriately
  dripped and air dried after washing is completed
  to ensure that no dampness is left behind.

• Bugs/Insects
•  
• Another widely recognised and most harming thing
  for floor coverings is the growth of creepy
  insects like moths and beetles. Are you
  witnessing moths flying everywhere in your house?
  Then, they either have come from outside or
  thriving right inside your house, especially at
  damp places. Carpet beetles are quite common in
  houses where carpets arent cleaned occasionally.
  So, you need to take step about it and ensure
  that cleaning is performed on regular basis.

• Pets At Your Home
•  
• Australians simply adore their pets! But, when
  the pets (puppies kittens) are young, they have
  a habit of chewing and scratching every surface,
  especially carpets. They spend most of their time
  on ground and here it means rugs. You need to
  ensure that your pets dont ruin your expensive
  carpets. Just be a bit more active and you can
  keep them away from your rugs.

• Extreme Exposure to Ultraviolet Light
•  
• Theres no doubt that we get endless benefits
  from sun, but we all need to be cautious when it
  comes to skin exposure. Similarly, we also need
  to stay extra careful for our carpets as well.
  Antique floor coverings made by using quality and
  natural dye will start fading if left in direct
  exposure of harmful ultraviolet lights for many
  hours. You need to either cut down the intensity
  of the carpets or rotate them occasionally.

7

• Spills
•  
• If something is spilled on your mat, it's crucial
  to act quickly! Try not to wait as the spill can
  be assimilated into the fabric strands, and may
  become extremely difficult to remove after it
  dries out. You need to blot the spill immediately
  and clean it quickly. If the spill is of items
  like red wine, paint or grease etc. then you must
  call a professional carpet cleaning Inner West
  based company that can deal with the stubborn
  stains effectively.
