Spots and spills on our faux floor coverings are relatively easy problems to resolve due to the synthetic materials use in the pile of the carpet. To help you take the best care of your faux carpet, we've got some great hints and tips when it comes to care and cleaning.
Vacuum regularly to help extend the life of your synthetic flooring, especially in those busy areas which receive the most footfall. When it comes to spots and spills, WoolSafe, our cleaning partner recommends using products with the CleanSeal Certification mark, but our Natural Flooring Care Kit will also work well. Always act quickly and remove any excess spill - remember, it's always easier to remove new stains than old ones! Before applying any spotting agent, remember to pre-test it on an inconspicuous area of the carpet. Wearing rubber gloves, apply the spotting agent to a white cloth and apply to the stain. Use small amounts and repeat as necessary, being careful not to over wet the carpet. Work from the edge of the stain inwards and remember: Always blot, never rub, as this can distort the fibre of the carpet.

Synthetic or faux carpets are moth resistant - moths just don’t like these fibres and prefer softer fibres such as wool. This makes faux carpets a great choice for a woven, natural looking spaces where moths may be a concern.
