How to Keep Frieze Carpet Clean

Some carpets are easy to clean and keep looking new with just routine vacuuming. However, other carpets need the help of professional cleaning. Frieze carpet, similar to retro shag rugs from the 1970s, is difficult to keep clean with just a vacuum. Frieze carpet requires some extra love and attention. But just how much extra attention does it need?

Frieze carpet is really durable. The high twist rate means the fibers will stay intact longer and are less likely to split and fray. The durable fibers are long and tightly twisted. This reduces wear, but conceals dirt and debris. It’s also one of the most popular carpets used in homes today. It’s unique and fun, as well as plush to the touch. Need a carpet that keeps your feet warm? Frieze is dense and gives your home a natural insulation. It also hides footprints!

Sounds like the perfect carpet right? Well there are a few drawbacks. Because frieze carpet is so great at hiding dirt, you’ll miss how much dirt actually gets built up in it. The long fibers mask how much dirt really seeps into the carpet, making it difficult to clean, at least on your own. Professional cleaners are trained to work with the unique design of this flooring. Professional cleaners also have the right tools to make sure your carpet is clean without getting damaged in the process.

You should definitely consult with a professional carpet cleaning company or the retailer you purchased your frieze carpet from about which vacuum cleaners work and don’t work with the carpet. Choosing the wrong vacuum cleaner will damage your frieze carpet. How do you know if you’re using the wrong vacuum cleaner? If you have noticed that the carpet has started to shed or there are fuzz balls scattered across the carpet, you need to switch your vacuum cleaner.

Frieze carpet requires a professional cleaning at least once a year. It will help extend the life of the carpet as well as make it easier for you to vacuum in the future. If your frieze carpet is stained, you should not try and clean the spot yourself. A professional carpet cleaner has the right tools and techniques to take care of your carpet without causing further damage.

Frieze carpet will last you years and years, but only if you take proper care of it. Make sure you are using the right vacuum cleaner and are scheduling yearly professional cleanings. To schedule your frieze carpet cleaning appointment, call Langenwalter today at 317-876-9944.
