Kinks are perhaps the most common problem that carpet owners have to deal with.

To avoid having to throw all your efforts into this fight, try to use preventive measures in a timely manner.

1. First, lay out your newly purchased carpet correctly. Straighten the rug, clean it from dust and dry it.

Now you need to apply double-sided tape to all corners of the carpet and attach it to the floor.

2. To prevent the carpet from separating from the floor, do not use a vacuum cleaner for cleaning during the first few months after purchase. Instead, sweep the carpet with a broom or go over the pile with a soft brush.

At first, you will have to avoid using hard brushes and aggressive household chemicals.

3. The last piece of advice is for those who like to resort to such a method of cleaning the carpet from accumulated dirt as beating.

Carry out the procedure by hanging the track on a flat surface instead of a horizontal bar or fence. The blows should be applied from the inside. After finishing the operation, do not forget to level the carpet.
