Check whether a carpet has been treated with a protective finish, such as guardsman or scotch guard, to prevent permanent staining. If not, you can have this done professionally but ask a professional whether it is necessary.

Vacuuming rooms regularly prevents dirt and grit from matting the fibres of the carpet. Vacuum clean new carpet several times to remove loose fibres which have worked loose during the carpet fitting.

Make sure carpet treatments and stain removers are approved for use on wool carpets, which means that they’re suitable and effective for wool-rich carpets.

Deal with stains straightaway.

Blot the stain rather than rubbing it, and work from the outside to avoid it spreading.

Blot wine spills with a clean white cloth

Soak liquids with a clean, dry, white absorbent cloth, tissue or piece of kitchen roll.

Apply the cleaning agent to the cloth, not the stain, unless a product’s you are using direct you otherwise.

Give carpets the occasional deep clean. Always seek the advise of a professional especially if you have a wool a carpet.

Use doormats to remove grit and dirt from shoes and also to prevent heavy wear by doors. Door mats can be made from your own carpet

Carefully snip snags or pulls with a pair of scissors rather than pulling them out.
