Samples will never be from the same dye batch as current production. Samples should always be used as a guide, not as an exact colour match.
Almost all carpet samples are now labelled as to their suitability for use in different areas of the home. Before deciding on which material is to be installed, do check carefully that it is suitable for the location for which it is intended. In general, long piled carpets are not suitable for use on stairs. Secondary backed carpets, fitted over a good underlay, will give a better performance in heavy wear areas such as living/dining rooms and hall/stairs/landings.
For technical production reasons it is not possible to obtain an exact colour match between different widths and/or batches. Carpets are produced in batches and usually each batch is produced in a single width. To ensure perfect colour matching, only one width from the same batch should be used in any installation which requires carpet pieces to match when laid side by side. Carpets that are laid with the pile travelling in different directions, even though they are from the same batch, will appear not to match.
The key to good maintenance is to avoid particles of loose dirt and dust working their way into the carpet pile where they can act abrasively on the fibres and discolour the carpet.
Man-made fibre and wool carpets should be vacuumed regularly as soon as they are laid.
Loop Pile carpets should be vacuumed with a cylinder cleaner using the suction head only. Avoid using beater heads and brushes - they will catch and lift the fibres and eventually this will give your carpet a bobbled appearance.
Cut pile carpets should ideally be vacuumed with an upright vacuum cleaner with a beater bar and brush. You can also opt to use a cylinder vacuum cleaner with a similar attachment.
Carpets can be cleaned easily and simply by following the recommended guidance below:
For easy-clean, polypropylene carpets, a solution of bleach and warm water can be used. Simply dilute one part bleach to ten parts water.
Note: Do not use this on wool carpets and take care not to over-soak the carpet.
If your stain is still visible you could try an appropriate carpet stain removing product carefully following the instructions or
contact a professional cleaner.
