Cleaning.

Proper care to ensure long life.

Sisal

Suggestions for care:

  • regular (daily) cleaning with a powerful vacuum cleaner (with or without brush attachment)

Stain removal:

  • the fresher the stain, the easier it is to remove
  • soak up the worst of the dirt with an absorbent white or undyed cloth
  • remove solid particles using the back edge of a knife or a spoon
  • spray special carpet shampoo e.g. Tapigold onto the bristles of a natural fibre brush or cloth, carefully remove the stain from the carpet by rubbing gently
  • important: do not moisten the stain, as sisal tends to shrink when wet and water stains could result

Thorough cleaning:

  • thorough cleaning to remove greasy or oily residue is necessary from time to time
 

Mellana

Suggestions for care:

  • textile dirt-trap mats to protect against dirt from outside and polish etc. from hard floor coverings in neighbouring rooms
  • regular vacuuming, using a flat nozzle
  • correct ambient temperature and humidity as a precaution

Stain removal:

  • the fresher the stain, the easier it is to remove
  • use proprietary stain removers that are suitable for wool
  • or warm, biologically active detergent solutions
  • using a white cloth, dab off stains from the edge to the middle. Do not rub!

Thorough cleaning:

  • if soiling is more than superficial, carpets should be cleaned by a specialist, using the extraction and shampooing method
 

Mellon

Suggestions for care:

  • regular, preferably daily, vacuuming

Stain removal:

  • the fresher the stain, the easier it is to remove
  • stains can usually be removed easily using a damp cloth or sponge
  • Mellon is not sensitive to water and can be wiped using a damp cloth containing a thin detergent solution
  • Wait until the carpet is completely dry again before walking on it in outdoor shoes

Thorough cleaning:

  • if a large area is stained, we recommend thorough cleaning by spray extraction
