So, you’ve just invested in a beautiful new carpet, and the thought of spills, stains, or dents already has you on high alert? Don’t worry—Gul Carpet has you covered with all the tips and tricks you need to maintain your flooring and keep it looking its best for years to come.
From cleaning advice to common carpet care questions, this comprehensive guide is your go-to resource for keeping your carpet fresh, fluffy, and fabulous.
At Gul Carpet, we take extra care to deliver all carpets rolled in protective tubes to prevent damage during transport. Occasionally, this can cause a faint pressure line around 50cm from the edge—don’t worry, it’s perfectly normal and will naturally fade within a couple of weeks.
One of the most common questions we hear is: “How do I clean my carpet?” While carpet does require a little more care than smooth flooring, many modern carpets are designed with advanced stain-resistant fibres—and some even come with lifetime stain warranties!
Top cleaning tip: Carpets made from polypropylene are completely bleach-cleanable, giving you peace of mind in even the messiest situations. Meanwhile, wool carpets offer natural stain resistance and durability.
Quick Carpet Cleaning Steps for Stains:
Scoop up solids gently, moving from the outside in to avoid spreading.
Blot liquid spills with a clean, white towel—never rub!
Apply a carpet cleaner to a white cloth and gently blot the stained area (never pour cleaner directly onto the carpet).
Always test any cleaner on a hidden patch of carpet first.
Use clean water to rinse and blot away any cleaner residue.
Dry thoroughly with a fresh cloth.
Once dry, vacuum the area to restore texture.
Vacuuming regularly is the simplest and most effective way to extend the life of your carpet. As a rule:
Vacuum once a week for standard carpets.
Twice weekly for soft or high-pile carpets.
Even unused rooms collect dust—make sure they’re cleaned too!

Heavy furniture can compress carpet fibres and leave unsightly dents. To lift them:
Remove the furniture.
Gently steam the area using an iron (with a cloth barrier).
Blot, then fluff the fibres with a clean towel or soft brush.
Natural materials like wool or cotton respond particularly well to this method. Rearranging furniture regularly can also help prevent deep marks from forming.
