Axminster Wool Vacuum Recommendation | Wool

Axminster Wool Vacuum

Do you need a special vacuum cleaner for Axminster wool carpets?

A great looking wool carpet is one that gets vacuumed regularly, ideally every day for heavy foot traffic. If your vacuum has a rotating brush roller, such as a SEBO, that’s even better. Take it slowly so the vacuum has enough time to clean from deep in the tufts, and concentrate on well-trodden areas like stairs, hallways and in front of chairs.

Axminster Carpets

Axminster Carpets UK advise – Regular cleaning of your carpet will reduce loss of appearance and accumulation of contaminants. The vast majority of soiling to carpets is brought into the building on people’s feet, so stopping this ingress of soil is the initial priority. It is therefore recommended that barrier mats are placed by all the doors to reduce contamination of the main carpet.

Vacuuming

Vacuuming is the most important procedure to clean and extend the service life of the carpet. Vacuums with high suction, brush and beater bar are recommended for our cut pile carpets, such as our Axminster woven and tufted twist ranges. For our tufted loop pile carpets, a cylinder vacuum is recommended. Vacuums with microfilters are often the best option, so dirt is not extracted and then blown back into the building.

Interim Cleaning Methods

Absorbent powders – A powder impregnated with a cleaning solvent is brushed into the carpet and allowed to dry. The powder is then vacuumed up. Axminster Carpets recommend the ‘SEBO’ dry cleaning powder and vacuum cleaners.

So, which SEBO vacuum suits Axminster?

Axminster Carpets suggest using a SEBO vacuum cleaner with an adjustable rotating brush roller height for their carpets to effectively remove the maximum amount of dirt. The SEBO X7 upright vacuum cleaner is ideal for cut pile as well as the SEBO Felix Premium Rosso Upright.

SEBO E3 Premium barrel and Felix Premium upright with delicate brush roller (5010GE – Optional Accessory) are ideal for loop pile. A feature of the SEBO E3 Premium and Felix Premium is the ability to switch the brush roller off for ‘suction only’ vacuuming.
