Maintaining Your Berber Carpet

Once you have carpet placed down, you

will want to keep it maintained to

preserve the life of it. If you do not

properly maintain your Berber carpet,

you will find yourself replacing it sooner

than you expected. Berber carpet is great

in any home, but it can be a little harder

to clean than other carpets.




Fibers in Berber carpet may be made from nylon or they may be made up of olefin.

• The olefin fibers will attract any oils from your skin and these oils get trapped in

the carpet fibers leaving them discolored.

• Nylon does not tend to hold on to the oils of the skin the same way.

Carpet Fibers




Oils on shoes can destroy your new carpet. It is

important that stepping on the carpet with shoes be

avoided as much as possible.

Shoes




Spills can and will happen. Here are several steps to remove

something that spilled on your Berber carpet:

• Baking soda

• cover the spill in baking soda

• allow it to sit for 30 seconds

• Vacuum up the baking soda

• continue to repeat the process until the stain is

gone.

• Or, simply mix together some water and vinegar and

place it on the stain. Allow it to sit for about 30 seconds

and blot up.

Spills




One of the worst things you can do to your Berber carpet is vacuum

it with a rotating brush. It will snag your carpet fibers or even rip it

out. So, it is advisable to use a brush with a higher suction power

and no rotating brushes.

Vacuuming




Choosing the right type of vacuum, cleaning up stains as they happen, and

enforcing a no shoes rule will ensure that your Berber carpet lasts a long

time.
