Carpet Cleaning Tips
Carpets and rugs add warmth, charm and character to your interior. Here’s how to take care of them:
• Vacuum your carpets and runner rugs at least once a week to prevent dirt and dust from building up.
• Address spills promptly. Blot the affected area gently and clean it according to the care instructions.
• Consider calling in the professionals every year or so to deep clean and refresh your carpets.
Caring for Luxury Textiles
Cushions and throws are a tried-and-tested way to update your décor as the seasons change – and if you look after them carefully, they’ll stand the test of time.
• One of the simplest maintenance tips for home décor is to fluff up your cushions regularly. It’s an instant refresh for your sofa.
• Just like carpets, cushions should be vacuumed regularly to remove dust and allergens. Use the upholstery attachment of your vacuum cleaner.
• For instructions on how to clean cushions, check the care labels. Some cushion covers can be machine washed on a gentle cycle; others might be spot clean only.
• Some stains might require professional cleaning.
Cleaning Decorative Accessories
Decorative accessories like home sculptures and ceramic jars are an opportunity to showcase your personal style. By adopting a few good habits, you can keep them looking pristine.
• Glass vases are perfect for displaying seasonal flowers and make striking accessories in their own right. Clean your collection with a mixture of vinegar and warm water to remove residue and restore their shine.
• Ceramic jars don’t just look visually pleasing; they’re a smart storage solution too. Dust your jars and canisters regularly and use mild soap and water to clean them. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the glaze.
• An eye-catching sculpture makes the perfect finishing touch. Dust sculptures and statues regularly and keep them out of direct sunlight.
