Test any treatment on an inconspicuous area first and follow the carpet or manufacturer care instructions. For valuable wool or woven carpets, or if…

For valuable wool or woven carpets, seek professional cleaning advice or contact BCC for gui…

BCC notes that the ease of cleaning a stair carpet depends on fibre and construction rather than a single ‘best’ option. Synthetic fibres such as solution‑dyed nylon and polypropylene are often chosen for good stain resistance and durability; woven wool and other woven constructions can hide small soiling and wear but may require gentler, specialist care. Regular vacuuming and prompt blotting with a clean white cloth are important — do not rub. Always foll…
