A brand new carpet can soon look old and tired if it is not well maintained, and this is needed in the early stages. Any drips or spills should not be left, and some carpet cleaning spray should be used as quickly as possible.

Vacuums should be used quickly for dry spills, while high traffic areas should always be well looked after, even when stains are not completely visible. Regular hovering and moving of furniture can ensure any dirt is cleaned up, and the cleaner you keep your audience the easier it will be to notice new stains and marks.

If you have a light coloured carpet then it will require a great deal more care and attention when it is new, especially if you want to maintain the bright colour and keep it in tip top shape.
