	Avoid using the carpet in damp places.

	Avoid putting heavy objects with sharp tipped legs and/or edges directly on the carpet.

	When not in use for a long time roll the carpet and store it away. Place some anti wool moth chemical papers within the roll.
	Keep the carpet clean.
	Reverse the carpet position on the floor, once in a while, to avoid localized wear at the room entrance.

	Cleaning:
	Clean the carpet surface with a soft brush and/or low suction vacuum cleaner on a regular basis.
	Remove stains from carpet surface by a dump sponge or brush. After cleaning always lift the carpet from the floor to allow air circulation around the carpet for through drying of the damp spots.
	Seek specialist advice for the proper carpet shampoo to be used for surface cleaning.
	Wet (immersion) washing of the carpet should be avoided at home and services of specialist companies should be employed.
	Avoid frequent wet washing of the carpet, unless it is absolutely necessary.
	To prevent wool moth damaging the carpet, every few month, lay the carpet face down on the floor and lightly beat the back of the carpet with a flat piece of wood. Shake it to remove the accumulated dust and air it for a few hours in the open air.
