Should I vacuum or shake out the carpet?
The most suitable cleaning method for your carpet, and arguably the only one, is vacuuming. But contrary to what most people do, we should generally do it without the brush, as this will avoid unnecessary wear and tear on the carpet.
Maintenance of custom-made carpets and rugs that suffer high traffic.
Carpets that experience high traffic require special maintenance to make sure they look good and last longer. Here are some tips on how to properly maintain high-traffic carpets:
Vacuum regularly: Vacuuming your carpet is the most effective way to keep it clean and free of dust and dirt. If your carpet is in a high-traffic area, it is recommended that you vacuum it at least once a week. If the carpet has a lot of traffic, it may need to be vacuumed more frequently.
Clean stains right away: If you spill something on your carpet, it's important to clean it up as soon as possible. The longer you wait to clean a stain, the harder it will be to remove. Use an appropriate spot cleaner for the type of carpet you have and follow the product manufacturer's instructions.
Deep clean regularly: Although regular vacuuming helps keep the carpet clean, it is recommended that you do a deep cleaning at least once a year. You can do this yourself with a carpet cleaning machine or hire a professional. This helps remove deep dirt and stains that vacuuming can't reach.
Place entrance mats: Place entrance mats at main entrances to prevent dirt and dust from entering the house and getting on the carpet. You can also ask visitors to remove their shoes when entering to reduce the amount of dirt that enters the house.
Rotate the carpet: If possible, rotate the carpet every six months to prevent high traffic areas from wearing faster than other areas. This helps ensure that the carpet wears more evenly and lasts longer.
With these tips, you'll be able to properly maintain high-traffic carpets to ensure they look great and last longer.
Environmentally labeled carpets:
what does it mean and why does it matter?
We are increasingly aware of what we breathe inside our homes. It is not enough for a space to look good: it also has to feel good. In this context, environmentally labeled carpets have become a silent guarantee of quality and well-being, a way of decorating while also taking care of the health of the home.
What is the label "Émissions dans l'air intérieur"?
The French environmental label "Émissions dans l'air intérieur" is a certification that classifies building materials and furniture products according to the substances they emit into indoor air. It evaluates the so-called VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), as well as other substances such as formaldehyde, toluene or xylenes.
The result is expressed with a simple scale:
-
A+ indicates near-zero emissions.
-
A and B indicate low or moderate levels.
-
C is reserved for products with tolerable, but less recommended, emissions.
In France, products that do not comply with the established limits cannot even be marketed.
Why indoor air quality is key to decoration and comfort
We spend almost 90% of our time indoors. If the materials around us emit chemical compounds, that air ends up affecting our health without us noticing it. Carpets, rugs and textile coverings are large surfaces that can have a major impact on air quality, especially in homes, hotels, offices or poorly ventilated spaces.
For this reason, more and more architecture and interior design professionals are looking for environmentally certified materials, not only for sustainability, but also for real comfort: less odors, less irritation, more well-being.
Carpets and rugs with environmental commitment
At KP we have been working for years with this purpose in mind: to market custom-made carpets and rugs that combine design, durability and respect for the environment. We are committed to high quality materials, free of harmful emissions, which guarantee a cleaner and healthier indoor environment.
When a carpet has an A+ environmental label, it means it has virtually no impact on air quality. This translates into safer spaces, especially in homes with children, pets or people sensitive to allergies.
In addition, aesthetic value is not at odds with sustainability. Our collections maintain the natural look and bespoke customization that KP is known for, with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that each piece contributes to a healthier environment.
Advantages of choosing low-emission carpets
-

-

-

-
They maintain the same level of design and customization as any KP custom carpet.
-
They add value to contract or residential projects that prioritize sustainability.
How to identify A+ environmentally labeled products
When looking for a responsible carpet or rug, check the technical data sheet or the packaging: the A+ label is the most reliable indicator. Its presence ensures that the product has passed tests under ISO 16000 standards, and that its emissions are below the limits set by French and European legislation.
Conclusion: a step towards more sustainable and healthier interiors
Environmentally labeled carpets represent more than just a trend. They are a statement of intent: choosing products that care for the air we breathe. At KP, we believe that the beauty of a carpet is not only in its design, but also in what it brings to the environment.
Because creating comfortable, elegant and healthy spaces should not be an option, but the norm.

Choosing between a plain carpet or a patterned carpet
Generally a plain carpet will give a more relaxed atmosphere as long as it goes well with the color of the furniture and don't forget that it should also match the color of the wall and the curtains.
