areas are occupied by the floor covering, the room atmosphere is so very

About fluffiness decides the height of the pile

The already ordered band of loose fibers is understood in the textile
industry under Flor. The height of the pile in a carpet determines how long
individual fibers of the carpet are. These fibers are perpendicular to the
surface of the lower fabric. The high pile feels compared to a lower fluffy.
If the pile height is less than 1.5 centimeters, then it is a short pile
carpet. The high pile carpet has between 1.5 and 5 centimeters and the long
pile carpet more than 5 centimeters. The longer the fibers are, the less the
carpet is suitable for heavily used areas or stairs. The pile density is also
important because the thicker the carpet is, the more trittelastischer it
feels.

What is carpeting made of?

Carpets made of paper, coconut fiber, rushes, abaca, jute, seaweed and
sisal are natural fiber floor coverings. These floors have no pile and are
woven smooth. Products made of mixed fibers, products made of polypropylene,
polyester, nylon and wool are referred to as textile carpets.

The manufacturing process

Not every carpet is the same, because there are differences in the
processing and production. Out of pure wool, the rugs are mostly woven and
the rug is all the more durable and durable, the denser the fabric. Compared
to woven carpet, the knotted floor has upright fibers and a soft pile. The
pile is incorporated into the lower fabric in tufted carpeting. The pile may
be shorn or looped. Some carpets also combine both forms. The tufted floor is
sturdy and cheaper than woven floor. The pile fibers are glued or welded to
the back of ready-made floor. This floor is not durable, thin and inexpensive.
The non-woven fabric is mechanically strengthened by the barbed needle felt
technique and thus the floor is very hard-wearing. Various coatings are
available at the carpet back. There are foam coatings, jute or latex. These
materials work against bumps and provide for adhesion.

Lay a carpet

The carpet is sold as a rug and it is stored on rolls of various widths.
Depending on the need, the carpet can be bought after square meters. The
carpet can be glued to edges, partially or completely. A specialist can tense
the floor. The surface must be smooth and with balancing compound holes or
bumps can be adjusted. In the adhesive there are different degrees of
adhesion and so strong adhesive or removable again. For laying there are
usually exact provisions in the lease.

Clean the carpet

If you want to enjoy the carpet for a long time, you have to clean it
regularly. Mites, dust and dirt settle over time and thus the carpets age
faster. Every one to two days the floors should be cleaned. Experts also
advise a basic and intermediate cleaning. The carpet can last for at least
seven years. The care contributes to the preservation of value and thus the
flooring can look appealing for a long time. During the partial cleaning
cleaning powder comes on the carpet and by means of a brushing machine this
is massaged in and vacuumed after drying. The basic cleaning is the most
effective and effective method. A detergent is foamed with a spray extraction
machine, the soil is massaged and then it is aspirated. With a brush vacuum
cleaner is sucked in again after drying. If you have stains like sauce,
chocolate or red wine, you should remove them immediately. Otherwise, they
can react chemically with the fibers when they have dried. Stain remover and
extraction cleaner should be in the household.
