Our Greasby Showroom

A well-fitted carpet not only looks better - it wears better. That's why we employ and train our own fitters. But our concern for your carpet doesn't end when we have put away the tools:  we are on hand to give advice and help whenever it's needed. There are several good sources of information on the care of your carpet - and we list two of them below. But let us also mention a few points which you may find helpful.

CARING FOR YOUR CARPET

Normal maintenance: vacuum a carpet regularly - say, once a week for a room that has average use. This will remove abrasive particles that can damage the tufts.

For the occasional small spillage and incidence of soiling, spot-cleaning with a recommended carpet shampoo is all that's necessary. However, after some time, the carpet may need more extensive cleaning: we strongly advise you to use the services of a reputable carpet-cleaning firm. We will gladly supply names to you if you ask. We recommend that you use this treatment sparingly - only when it's absolutely necessary - as it could impair the quality slightly.

Stair carpets receive exceptionally severe punishment, especially on the nose of each stair. For this reason, we always extend the length of carpet on each flight. This enables the carpet to be moved up or down, so that the wear is not always concentrated on the same part of the carpet. For the carpet guarantee to be honoured, manufacturers insist that the tread should be changed every 12 months (in our experience very few people actually do it). We offer a change-of-tread service - but please request it well in advance: the waiting-list is often lengthy.
