Understanding Faux Cashmere Carpet Composition

Modern faux cashmere carpets blend recycled PET fibers (85–95%) with nylon or elastane for elasticity. Key features enabling easy cleaning:

  • StainArmor™ Nano-coating: Repels liquids for 60+ seconds

  • CrushDefy™ Core: High-density tufts resist matting

  • ThermoBalance™ Fibers: Retain structure in water

  • Machine-Washable Backing: AquaLock™ waterproof layer

Vacuuming Technique

  • Frequency: 2x/week (high-traffic areas), 1x/week (low-use zones)

  • Tools: Suction-only mode or brush roll disabled

  • Method: Move parallel to pile direction (never against grain)

  • Pro Tip: Place ice cube on hardened debris → vacuum after 15 minutes

Immediate Spot Treatment

  1. Blot spills with white microfiber cloth (never rub)

  2. Apply 1:3 white vinegar/water solution
