Carpet & Textiles Care | Toronto

Your rug should have padding and be rotated once a year, or more often with higher traffic, to ensure even wear. Ground in soil can cause excessive wear on the fibers of your rug, because dirt is extremely abrasive. Remove dirt regularly by vacuuming your rug often, for example, once or twice per week or more depending on the level of traffic and use. If your rug has a decorative fringe, use a vacuum attachment.

As with carpeting, spots should be immediately cleaned before they become stains. Use a clean, absorbent material to soak up the excess liquid, and then spot clean with a solution of mild detergent, a little bit of white vinegar, and water. Rinse with a solution of water and white vinegar, being careful to avoid wetting the backing of the rug. Use a clean, absorbent material to soak up excess liquid, and then allow to air dry. For faster drying, use a fan or hair dryer on a cool setting.

Rugs should be professionally cleaned once per year or more for high-traffic use. Some rugs can be cleaned in your home, while others must be thoroughly cleaned and control-dried at our specially designed facility. In addition to regular professional cleaning, if you are unable to remove a spot, call 360 Floorcare. We can remove the spot before it becomes a stain.

New rugs have stain resist properties and soil resistors, such as Dupont Teflon or 3M Scotchgard. In time, this protective barrier wears off. 360 Floorcare can re-apply the treatment after professional cleaning so that your rug will be easier to maintain.

For upholstered furniture, rotate cushions weekly to ensure even wear. Vacuum your furniture weekly, including cracks and crevasses. Keep pets off of furniture. For draperies and other textiles, vacuum weekly to remove dust. For all upholstery, draperies and other textiles, avoid excessive exposure to ultraviolet light, which can cause bleaching or premature deterioration. Be careful about the dyes in new clothing, especially blue jeans, which can bleed onto your fine surfaces.

Upholstery, draperies, and other textiles with fabric protection can be easily cleaned with proper cleaning procedures. Use a clean, absorbent material to blot spills. Use a solution of distilled water (only for W & WS Codes) and/or a manufacturer-recommended cleaner. (If you are not familiar with cleaning codes or do not know what cleaner to use, call 360 Floorcare Inc.) Test an inconspicuous area first. Try not to spread the spill over a larger area as you clean. Dry using a fan or hair dryer on a cool setting.

Your leather furniture can last a long time with proper cleaning and maintenance. Leather should be professionally cleaned and conditioned once or twice per year, depending on the level of use. For spills or spots, use a clean, absorbent material to blot excess liquid. Use a cloth dampened with distilled water only if absolutely necessary, and do not use cleaners.
