With your brand new carpet now installed, it’s important you know how to clean and maintain your carpet for the future. Looking after your carpet is vital! When you remove the dirt that leads to stains, you’re preserving the carpet’s original texture and increasing its lifespan. Considering the average Australian spends 83% of their life indoors that’s a massive 20 hours a day, having clean air is just another part of looking after your health. Many people don’t realise that carpet is the filtration system in your home, it traps all the dust and odour deep in its pile, therefore like any filter it needs regular cleaning to optimise its life and filtration ability.
Wool carpet has its own unique filtration system and hypoallergenic properties. It’s great for asthmatics and allergy sufferers. Wool does not promote the growth of dust mites or bacteria or give off harmful emissions. Wool also traps potential allergens, removing them from the air you breathe making it a natural air purifier.

Carpet Care Tips
- Use furniture coasters to prevent carpet dents as this will distribute the weight and prevent pile crushing.
- A good quality vacuum cleaner is essential to prolong your carpets life and beauty.
- Excessive UV rays from sunlight can age carpet prematurely. When possible, close blinds to protect carpet if exposed for extended periods of time.
- Use outdoor mats to prevent unwanted soil and moisture being tracked into the home.
- As carpet ages, it may sprout the occasional loose thread. Simply these with scissors – never pull threads out!
- Move heavy furniture occasionally to avoid excessive pile crushing.
- When using rugs over the top of your carpet ensure your rugs are dry, colourfast and clean. Don’t forget to clean underneath your rugs.

Cavalier Bremworth Wet & Dry Stain Removers
Dry Stain Remover
It’s designed to work on most food, drink, oil and grease-based stains. It’s effective on almost any dry stain that has not caused a chemical reaction with the carpet fibres.
Wet Stain Remover
The wet stain remover works by applying a soft foam, which dissolves into the stain and helps lift it off the carpet when blotted up with a clean, dry paper towel.
