Finding Wool Carpet When You ’ re Ready to Buy
Remove Spills Immediately
� Immediately remove as much of the spill as possible . For solids use a blunt knife or spoon ; for liquids blot with a white paper towel by applying pressure to the stain . � NEVER scrub or rub the carpet during the removal or rinsing process as fuzzing may result . � Always work from the outside of the spill to the inside . � Remove excess moisture and dry thoroughly with a clean white cloth or paper towel . � Place paper towels over the area and use a flat weight on top of them to help absorb moisture . � If the stain does not respond adequately to the treatment , call a professional carpet cleaner immediately .
Professionally Clean by Hot Water Extraction
� In residential use , professionally clean the carpet every 12 to 18 months to revitalize and remove oily , sticky soil and well-settled soil that vacuums do not remove . � Use a certified professional cleaner . � Shampooing , do-it yourself steam cleaning or dry cleaning is not recommended .
* Please consult your specific warranty for detailed cleaning and maintenance instructions . Some manufacturers have precise warranty flooring maintenance requirements .
