With a history that dates back to 1783, Brintons is a British carpet manufacturer that is highly experienced in its craft. If you’re the proud owner of a lovely Brintons carpet, our expert cleaning team at Carpet Bright UK has got all of the must-have tips and tricks to help you maintain it.
Why choose Brintons?
When deciding which type of carpet to buy, it’s easy to understand why Brintons is always a popular choice. The perfect blend of 80% wool and 20% nylon means that a Brintons carpet enjoys a soft, luxury look and feel, yet is exceptionally strong, durable and long-lasting.
Furthermore, Brintons carpets are always made from the highest-quality materials and fleeces, with the complete design, weaving and manufacturing processes carried out in-house.
Strict quality standards are followed throughout the spinning and dying of yarns, and every single carpet is visually inspected twice and completed by hand methods before it’s allowed to leave the factory.
Additionally, you can look forward to a fantastic choice of styles, with Wilton used for creating textured plain designs, and Axminster for creating a variety of stylish patterns.
In essence, a Brintons carpet is more than just a carpet, but an extension of your style preference and personality, and can help to bring your home to life.
Cleaning maintenance and care
To enjoy as many years as possible from your Brintons carpet, keeping it clean is the answer. There are lots of things you can do yourself to remove dirt and prevent it from soiling your carpet, but it’s also a good idea to use a professional to deep clean the carpet, such as our carpet cleaning in London, who specialises in cleaning Brintons carpets.
Thorough vacuuming
Keeping a Brintons carpet in a good condition begins with getting into a regular vacuuming routine. Depending on where your carpet is situated, you should vacuum it at least twice per week on average, but this could be as much as every other day for carpets placed in heavy traffic areas, such as hallways and entrances, etc. If you have children and pets, your Brintons carpets may need vacuuming daily.
Never wait until the carpet looks dirty, because dirt particles will be harder to remove, and may have become embedded deep in the pile.
You can vacuum your Brintons carpet as soon as you’ve had it fitted. Don’t worry if it appears to be shedding a lot of fibres when you first vacuum it; this is normal and it won’t have any lasting impact on the carpet’s appearance or condition.
What type of vacuum cleaner is best to use on a Brintons carpet? Ideally, an upright vacuum cleaner with a brushing action is a good option, especially for carpets with a cut pile, like the Axminster patterned varieties as well as for Bell Twist, Majestic and Finepoint.
When vacuuming the carpet, move the machine slowly in one direction first, covering all areas of the carpet, and then repeat in the opposite direction. This ensures that the machine can access any dust and particles in all areas of the carpet.
Spot cleaning
The beauty of choosing a Brintons carpet is that its wool fibres are quite forgiving when something gets spilled on them. You can spot clean spills before they permanently soak into the carpet and stain it, but it’s still a good idea to not leave it too long before you take action. The sooner a spillage is attended to, the higher the success rate of removing it.
The first thing you need to do is blot up the excess liquid on the carpet using a clean, absorbent cloth, kitchen paper or even a wet suction vacuum cleaner.
If the spillage is from food or other solids, use a blunt knife or the back of a spoon to gently scrape it off the carpet first, then blot up the remaining liquid residues.
It’s really important that you use a gentle blotting and dabbing action on the spillage, working from the outside of the spillage inwards. Never rub or scrub, as this could damage, discolour and distort carpet fibres, even setting the stain into the pile and spreading the spillage out further.
Experts recommend using a woolsafe cleaning solution on a Brintons carpet for eliminating stains, but if you’re ever in doubt, contact a professional. At our carpet and rug cleaners London business we are experts at removing carpet stains and understand how to eliminate all kinds of spillages from a Brintons carpet.
Using a professional ensures your carpets will receive the safest care when removing stains, and the best results.
Professional deep cleaning
As well as consulting our experienced carpet cleaning in London for removing stains from your Brintons carpet, it’s worthwhile contacting us to give your carpets a professional deep clean.
Experts recommend every carpet needs deep cleaning once or twice every year, and choosing a professional rather than hiring a machine yourself is the key to getting the cleanest results possible.
Deep cleaning gets rid of the dirt in your Brintons carpet that a normal vacuum cleaner can’t touch.
At Carpet Bright UK, we use steam cleaning as our primary deep cleaning method, because it is safe, reliable, quick and effective at getting rid of exceptionally high volumes of dirt, odours, stains, allergens, pet debris and other types of soiling.
We can alter the heat and pressure settings on the machine to accommodate the needs of the wool and nylon fibres in a Brintons carpet, providing the perfect cleaning match for your carpets.
Regular professional deep cleaning not only brings colour, life, cleanliness and good hygiene back to your carpets, but it can gift them with extra years of life, ensuring your Brintons carpets are a good investment in your home.
Keeping dirt away
Maintaining your Brintons carpet isn’t just about regular cleaning, but also helping to prevent dirt from getting on your carpet in the first place. Things like taking outdoor shoes off before you step on the carpet, and placing rugs and mats at entrance areas that get a lot of soiling and heavy footfall can help.
