We referred to the Carpet & Rug Institute (CRI) for the best advice for spot cleaning.

First step: blot spills with a clean dry white cloth. Do not use colored or printed clothes as they may bleed into the carpet. Scoop up semi-solids without rubbing them deeper into the carpet. Dry solids can be vacuumed however, use the vacuum hose to clean up the loose bits.

Next: treat the spot with a cleaner. We recommend a CRI Certified Seal of Approval carpet cleaning product. Always test the cleaner on a carpet sample prior to treating the spot.

Follow the product’s directions and apply the cleaner with a white cloth gently working in from the edges of the stain. You may need to repeat this process several times. After the spot is gone, blot the area with clear water to remove any remaining cleaning product.

• Have your carpet professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months or more if necessary.

Closets should be empty, the bottom row of clothing and long garments, including low shoe racks should be removed. Disconnect your electronics. Rather than putting things on top of your furniture or bed, move loose items to a room that isn't going to be carpeted. It is also important that any pets be out of the work areas.

The installers will need an area to place the new carpet and their tools during the installation. Our installers use protective blankets or pads to put their tools on. If you are having old carpet removed it will create some dust and the installation can cause a bit of noise and vibration. Eagle Carpet Service vacuums after the installation and hauls away all of the garbage within a 24 hour period.

We prefer that someone of authority be present at the start of project to go over any details of the installation. Some projects require options to be determined on site. You do not need to stay once the installation has started. You should be available for contact in case other questions arise.

If there is a large pattern in your carpet, extra carpet is needed to match the pattern. In some cases extra carpet is ordered to minimize seams. Carpet comes in standard widths of 12 to 15 feet wide and must be layed in the same direction. Depending on the dimensions of the room and where the seams are placed the amount of extra carpet will vary.

Non-skid felt pads are the best choice for area rugs. You can view our selection of rug pads to see what we recommend.

Stair and hall runners do not have to match. However, you do want the stair and hall runners to coordinate with one another.

Binding is the most economical way of securing the carpet edges from raveling while at the same time enhancing the appearance of your rug. We only stock top-quality cotton tape in a wide range of colors.

For aesthetic reasons the binding should not excede 2 1/2". The most popular width is typically 1 1/4". Depending on the thickness and flexiblity of the binding combined with the quality of carpet may determine your options.

The most common reason borders are wavy is due to the characteristics of the carpet and the binding itself. Stitching thicker carpets causes the border fabric to draw up and wrinkle.

Due to advanced manufacturing technology, 90% of all carpet produced today is tufted. Tufted carpet is made by inserting yarn through a primary backing. An adhesive coating is applied to hold the tufts in place and a secondary backing is then glued on for strength and stability.

During the process of manufacturing woven carpet, the yarn is woven through or around vertical fibers known as warps, and then locked into place with horizontal strands known as wefts. This process creates a variety of rich colors and intricate patterns. Carpets are primarily woven of wool and are very durable.

A traditional Wilton weave carpet is processed on a Jacquard loom. The yarn or pile threads run continuously through the carpet and are raised above the surface of the integral backing by means of wires or hooks. A high-quality Wilton may be made with 252 pitch and 8 to 10 wires per inch, with a lighter or heavier yarn to provide density.

Axminster carpet is produced on a Jacquard loom that offers unique flexibilities in colors and design. Each tuft is individually woven into place allowing even the most complex and intricate designs to be created with pinpoint precision and high-definition. Axminster carpets offer architects and end-users distinct advantages over any other available flooring surface on the market in terms of aesthetics, performance and value.
