In order to protect the condition of carpet fibers, it is important to distinguish the material of the carpet and what kind of brush it is suitable for. If you use a brush on a wool carpet, then this will definitely damage the carpet.


Protect the carpet

Avoid excessive dirt on your carpet. You need to try to prevent the accumulation of dust, sand and other fine particles. Try to walk on the carpet as little as possible as this will also cause some wear and tear on the carpet. You also need to avoid dropping food crumbs and all kinds of grease on the carpet, which can also damage the carpet.

Settings

Read the user manual carefully before use to determine the proper settings. Otherwise the wrong settings can cause some damage to your carpet. You need to use settings that are specifically designed for carpets so that they will not harm them.
