Cleaning, Stains & Carpet Maintenance How do I remove tar off my new carpet?How to remove tar from a carpet depends on whether it is soft or hardened. If soft, carefully lift excess with a blunt edge; for hardened tar, firming it with ice in a sealed bag can make lifting easier. Always blot spills with a clean white cloth and avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain or damage fibres. Test any treatment on an inconspicuous area first and follow the carpet or manufacturer care instructions. For valuable wool or woven carpets, or if…

Wool Carpets & Natural Fibres Is wool carpet better for asthma sufferers?There is no universal medical consensus that wool is categorically better for people with asthma. Some households find wool’s natural properties and structure can feel beneficial, but individual responses vary. Effective cleaning and maintenance are essential for any carpet: regular vacuuming with a suitable machine and following the fibre manufacturer’s care instructions will help control dust and allergens. For valuable wool or woven carpets, seek profes…

Homeowners are choosing textured and patterned carpets, natural and responsibly sourced fibres, and durable solution-dyed synthetic fibres for high-traffic areas.

There’s no single ‘best’ carpet for a busy home with stairs — selection depends on trade-offs between durability, appearance and maintenance. Woven constructions and hard-wearing fibres (such as wool or solution-dyed synthetics) are commonly chosen for comfort and long-term wear; pile type, density and backing all affect performance on stairs. Consider slip resistance, ease of cleaning, noise reduction and how joins will appear on landings or long runs. So…
Carpet Trends, Style & Inspiration What is the cost of the BCC Lifestyle carpet collection?Price for the BCC Lifestyle collection depends on multiple factors: carpet construction and fibre, chosen underlay, room size and shape, stair work or seaming, installation complexity, and any custom finishing. Installation and additional services are charged separately. Because ranges, availability and installation requirements change, current pricing and a precise quote must be confirmed in person or by contacting BCC Taren Point showroom. Visiting the s…
Woven Wool, Axminster & Wilton Carpets What is the cost of the BCC Woven carpet collection?Pricing for the BCC Woven carpet collection depends on a number of variables: fibre and construction, underlay choice, carpet width and any required seaming or pattern matching, edging and installation, plus site-specific factors. BCC does not publish fixed prices online; a current price or formal quote must be confirmed with the Taren Point showroom. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins; current widths vary by product …
There is no single “best” carpet for kids and pets; choice involves trade‑offs. Key considerations are fibre type (wool gives a premium feel; synthetic fibres such as solution‑dyed carpets offer strong stain and colourfastness), pile construction (tighter, lower piles and textured or patterned surfaces can hide wear and marks) and underlay for resilience. Colour and pattern will affect how visible spills and soiling are. Some carpet ranges are available in…
Carpet Types, Brands & Product Ranges What's your best carpet range?There is no single “best” carpet range; suitability depends on priorities such as durability, appearance, fibre, pile type and budget. Premium woven wool carpets are prized for texture and natural feel, whereas solution‑dyed synthetics tend to perform well for stain resistance and colourfastness. Loop and textured constructions offer different aesthetic and wear characteristics. Availability of specific ranges, origins and exact product details must be con…
Cleaning, Stains & Carpet Maintenance How best to clean blood stain from carpet?Treat fresh blood stains promptly. Blot — do not rub — with a clean white cloth to lift as much as possible, working from the outside of the stain toward the centre. Use cold water sparingly to help dilute and lift the mark, dabbing rather than saturating the carpet. Test any manufacturer care instruction or product on an inconspicuous area first and follow the carpet maker’s guidance. For valuable wool or woven carpets, persistent or large stains, seek pr…
Wool can be an excellent choice for homes with children and pets because of its natural resilience, comfort and warmth, but there are trade-offs to consider. Loop and low‑profile wool constructions tend to show wear less, while denser woven or textured wool gives good underfoot comfort. Wool is a natural fibre and performs differently to synthetic options — stain behaviour, maintenance and cost vary by product. Some carpet ranges are available in wider for…

Stair Carpets & Landings What is a good wool carpet for a staircase and family home? Can you show some examples?For a staircase in a family home, wool is a popular option because of its warmth and sound‑dampening qualities; choices depend on priorities. Loop or textured woven wool is typically more hard‑wearing and conceals traffic well, while cut‑pile wool (plush) offers a softer, more luxurious feel but may show wear differently. Berber‑style loops can be very durable for high traffic, though appearance and performance vary by construction. Some carpet ranges are …
Common carpet colour directions include earthy neutrals (beige, taupe) for a calm backdrop; deeper jewel tones for feature areas; soft pastels for bedrooms; and grey or monochrome schemes for contemporary interiors. Natural, undyed wool textures and tactile patterns are also popular for adding depth without overwhelming a space. Choosing a colour involves balancing light levels, furniture, flooring transitions and traffic — darker tones hide wear but can s…
Carpet Trends, Style & Inspiration Hi I’d like to replace my carpet but am unsure of the colour and style. Can you help me?When choosing colour and style, consider room function and traffic levels: use more durable constructions in busy areas and consider woven wool for living spaces where warmth and aesthetics are important. Neutral tones help keep spaces feeling open; stronger colours create a deliberate focal point. Texture and pile matter: plush piles feel softer underfoot, while loop or patterned constructions tend to hide wear and soils better. Some carpet ranges are ava…
