· It is recommended to clean your carpets every one-two years or if the carpet is dirty.

· Regular vacuuming of carpet with a brush vacuum will help stop dirt build up. 

· Never rub carpet  when removing stains. Check the links on stain removal page for advice from manufacture.

 

 

After ten years of use with a dog kept inside this carpet contains mostly faeces. “You wouldn't want your baby crawling around on that.”
