Maintenance
Heckmondwike carpets are highly durable commercial grade carpets that are built to last, with the benefit of a regular cleaning program your new carpet will keep it's good looks for a very long time. Daily vacuum cleaning with a twin motored upright brush cleaner with an adjustable height is ideal, Heckmondwike carpets can be cleaned as soon as they are fitted.
It is a good idea to remove all loose soil on a daily basis as a build up of dirt over a long period of time can eventually damage the pile and be far more difficult to clean. Attention should be given to areas where there is extra traffic and you should consider using one of our barrier entrance mats to help catch the dirt at busy entrance areas.
