Question

Have new man made fibre carpet. Is it true that in order to retain the pile you should not hoover while new?

Answer 1

Fibers are going to come loose regardless. It is just a characteristic of new carpet. I would vacuum. Soil is an abrasive like sandpaper and scratches and dulls carpet fibers. The more soil you remove the less it will wear.

Answer 2

yes ,leave it a couple of weeks to get worn in.

Answer 3

Retain the pile? What twoddle! Vacuuming a carpet has no effect other than to remove particulates (dust to you and I).

Answer 4

never heard of that before. i really can't see why not. if anything i thought it would help.
