Humidity Affecting Your Carpet? Follow Our Easy Carpet Care Guidelines For The Summer!

Summer is here! While we enjoy the cool mocktails and summer fashion, caring for one’s handmade carpets during the summer requires quite some effort.  From humidity to dirt articles, your luxury carpet is prone to damage.

To help you maintain the large rugs in your home or commercial space, we’ve curated a list of helpful tips.  From hospitality carpets to office floor carpet designs, follow our easy summer care tips for your handmade carpets and rugs.

Humidity Blues

Humidity can affect the design, texture and life of your contemporary rug or bespoke carpet. To prevent humidity from damaging your handcrafted carpet or textured carpet, we suggest keeping the fan or air conditioning on to improve airflow. If the humidity level gets too high, you can purchase a dehumidifier to regulate the moisture levels.

Get Those Shoes Off!

If this isn’t already a policy in your home, we suggest you politely requesting your guests to remove their shoes before stepping into your home. This way, you can avoid the dust particles, dirt, and moisture from damaging your living room rugs, floor carpets or modern rugs.

A Doormat and Runner To The Rescue!

If you’re planning on hosting a small group of people in your home or hotel, ensuring your hotel carpet or carpet flooring stays clean can be tricky; especially if you have a balcony or outdoor area as well. In this case, we suggest putting down runners, mats or thinner rugs to avoid any outside dirt from coming in contact with your grand carpets, home furniture or traditional carpets. It is also essential that you have a doormat where people can wipe the dirt off their shoes before entering.

Vacuum, Vacuum, Vacuum!

Regular maintenance of your handmade carpet, commercial carpets, carpets for hotel or bedroom rugs is key! If proper care is taken, you can prevent excessive wear of the carpet fibres; ensuring that the life of your handmade rug, modern carpet, office carpet or home decor piece is not cut short. To help absorb odours, you can sprinkle some baking soda on the carpet before cleaning. Vacuum at least once a week and more often if you’ve entertained recently.

Leave The Play To The Outdoors!

Kids love running around in the summer! Given the amount of free time your children have during summer vacations, the chances of them dropping food and paint colours on your carpet flooring or handwoven carpet during the summer is quite high. We suggest encouraging more outdoor play for your children. This reduces the risk of your modern rugs, royal carpet designs or custom carpets from getting ruined.
