Taking Care of Carpet

Thank you for purchasing your carpet from Hassan’s Carpets. May we suggest a few simple ways to maintain your hand-knotted rug and enjoy its beauty for years. 

  • To keep your carpet clean, avoid stepping on it with outdoor shoes.

  • Vacuum regularly in the direction of the pile. However, do not use a power brush and beater too often.

  • The area of the carpet that lies underneath furniture must be vacuumed regularly as moth and larvae thrive in dark, undisturbed corners.

  • Have your carpet washed only when it is truly required. Rugs in heavy usage area may need washing within a year, but those in less used areas may not need washing for years.

  • Where there’s clean snow, after vacuuming, drag your rug over the snow, first on one side then the other. Shake the snow off and dry your carpet. This will not only clean but also freshen the colours.

  • Remove spills immediately. Blot up liquids with absorbent cloth tissue, scrape off semi-solids and solids using a spatula or spoon. Always work from the edge of the stain towards the centre to prevent spreading. Do not rub too hard, as this will allow the stain to settle deeper into the pile. Sponge the affected area a few times with clean water, absorb as much fluid as possible, finish off in the direction of the pile and allow drying.

  • For hard-to-remove and resistant stains, professional cleaning is recommended. Hassan’s Carpets will be pleased to provide the service should you need it.

  • Use a carpet protector under the legs of heavy furniture.

  • Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight.

  • Turn the rug around from time to time to equalize wear.

  • Do not put potted plants on the carpets.

  • Keep your carpet dries at all times.

  • Once in a while put your carpet out in the sun, face down, to keep it dry.

  • Put a non-slip underlay beneath the carpet, it makes it safer to walk on the carpet and protects the knots as well.

  • A stitch in times saves nine. When a carpet need repair/restoration it’s best to do it earliest. Major repair should only be done by a specialist. Badly executed repairs impair the value of a carpet. Call Hassan’s Carpets for advice.

  • To store your carpet, roll and wrap it in cloth, enclosing drying and moth repellent agents.
