🧼 Carpet Care & Maintenance Guide

Caring for your Woven Gallery carpet ensures it remains as stunning as the day it arrived. With proper upkeep suited to Indian homes and climate, your carpet will continue to bring luxury, warmth, and comfort for years.

🌀 Common Characteristics of New Carpets

Watermarking / Shading / Pooling

It’s natural for handmade or machine-made carpets to develop light and dark patches a few weeks after installation. This shading effect happens due to pile direction and lighting. It’s not a manufacturing defect and has no impact on quality or durability.

Shedding

New carpets often release loose fibers during the first few weeks. This is completely normal and temporary. Regular gentle vacuuming helps settle the pile and keep your carpet looking fresh.

🧵 Carpet Maintenance Tips for Indian Homes

• Place rug protectors under heavy furniture to prevent dents
• Trim any loose threads with scissors — never pull them out
• Protect from direct sunlight to prevent fading, especially in bright Indian summers
• Rotate your carpet every few months for even wear and color balance
• Avoid washing — Indian humidity can damage fibers
• For storage, roll the carpet front-side out, wrap it in cotton or muslin, and store it in a dry place
• Clean spills immediately by blotting (not rubbing) with a soft, absorbent cloth
• In dusty environments, vacuum frequently to prevent dust accumulation

🧹 Vacuuming Tips

• Avoid vacuuming over fringes or edges
• Do not use high-suction or industrial vacuums
• Use canister vacuums or handheld attachments for gentle cleaning
• Beater bars can be used on low power only to protect pile texture
• During monsoon, ensure proper air circulation to avoid dampness or odor
