{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"After a new carpet is installed allow the product to settle and any adhesives or seams to stabilise before the first clean, and follow the carpet manufacturer\u2019s installation and care instructions for the specific product. Avoid aggressive cleaning or vigorous brushing in the initial days. Once settled, vacuum regularly to remove dust and loose fibres; cleaning frequency depends on household traffic. For spills blot promptly with a clean white cloth \u2014 do not rub \u2014 and follow the manufacturer\u2019s care guidance. For valuable wool or woven carpets seek professional advice or contact BCC for guidance. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins; current widths vary by product and should be confirmed. For local guidance or to view ranges visit Unit 3/46 Bay Rd, Taren Point and use a current map/navigation service for directions and opening hours.","answer_source":"legacy_bcc_quality_reviewed","category":"Cleaning, Stains & Carpet Maintenance","category_slug":"cleaning-stains-carpet-maintenance","confidence":"legacy_question_current_safe_answer","date_note":"Exact individual question timestamp was not present in the saved legacy Q&A page.","date_precision":"archive_page_not_individual_question","date_published":"","date_source":"legacy_wordpress_archive_page_metadata","editor_images":[],"editor_videos":[],"freshness_warning":"Products, prices, stock, opening hours and installation timing can change.
