A carpet is a textile floor covering typically consisting of an upper
layer of pile attached to a backing. The pile was traditionally
made from wool, but, since the 20th century, synthetic
fibers such as polypropylene, nylon or polyester are often used,
as these fibers are less expensive than wool.

Vacuuming is required to retain the original color and texture of the carpet. It is best to vacuum when the carpet is newly installed because newly laid carpet looks patchy. Vacuuming with cylindrical brush action or power brush attachment could help back in bringing the compressed tufts into its original and even appearance.

Furniture and extensive exposure to sun light fade the original color of a carpet. Some areas are overused than others, it is best to move around the furniture occasionally to avoid the loss and to balance its outlook.
Using barrier mats at the entrance will prevent the dirt to mess around.

in warm water to blot the stain. Use a dabbing action with the
cloth and then blot out the remaining liquid with dry kitchen
towel. Do not rub the pile surface of your carpet or oversoak
the stain.
