Colour is one of the most important factors to consider when decorating a new home or renovating.

Colour impacts the mood, feeling and personality of a room. Colour can help enhance the appearance of a room’s size, allowing you to make the most of natural and artificial light. 

<h3>Think About the Room Size</h3>

No matter how big or small the area, the colour of the floor will have a major impact on the feeling of space within the room.

If the area is small or lacks natural light, <a href="/products?colour=orange&amp;colour=yellow">a lighter shade of carpet</a> will make it appear larger and brighter.

Conversely, <a href="/products?colour=purple&amp;colour=black">darker-hued carpets</a> will warm a room, giving larger spaces a cosiness while adding depth and character.

<h3>How Will You Use the Room?</h3>

Considering how each room is going to be used is important when selecting your carpet. In homes with energetic families, a hard-wearing carpet in a <a href="/products?colour=purple&amp;colour=black">darker tone</a> is a great option. Patterned carpets are especially effective at hiding stains and soiling. For those who like to entertain, <a href="/products?carpetStyles=level-loop-pile&amp;carpetStyles=sisal&amp;carpetStyles=multi-level-loop">a loop pile carpet</a> in mid-tone works well. For a low-traffic home, you may opt for a <a href="/products?colour=orange&amp;colour=yellow&amp;carpetStyles=cut-pile-plush&amp;carpetStyles=cut-pile-twist">plush pile carpet in a lighter shade</a>.

<h3>Set the Mood</h3>

The colour palette you choose will influence the feeling, light and space in each room. Room colour can affect people in many ways, influencing your mood and energy. Cool colours are considered calming and serene; they are often recommended for bedrooms. In halls, entries and small spaces, warm colours can feel expansive and welcoming.

The colour of your carpet impacts and affects the the mood, feeling and personality of your home.

Carpet stain removal has got to be one of the most talked about subjects when it comes to carpet. For trickier carpet stain like coffee, red wine, grease or blood, please refer to the specific carpet care guide for your <a href="/product-types">carpet fibre type</a> and how to best clean it.

1. Blot, don't scrub 
Never scrub or rub abrasively your carpet, this can cause a fuzzy area on the carpet which could outlast the carpet stain. Instead, scoop up as much of the spill as possible then continue to blot any residue with a clean white cloth or paper towel.

2. Blot from outside in 
Always work from the outer edge of the carpet stain towards the centre. This will avoid spreading the stain to a wider area.

3. Get to it as quickly as possible 
Get to any spills as quickly as possible to prevent the stain from penetrating into the carpet fibres, this is what leads to discolouration and marks. Hot liquids especially can be difficult to remove once cooled.

4. Try warm water 
Most common carpet stains caused by household food and beverage (not containing strong dyes) can be treated with warm water (not hot) applied to the carpet stain immediately. Dampen a clean cloth with the warm water and blot it onto the carpet, working from the outside in, until the stain disappears.

If you have a triexta carpet from our <a href="https://www.feltex.com/au/brands/redbook-green">Redbook green</a> range, cold water will work just fine. For more stubborn stains, consult the <a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/gh/image/upload/v1659939491/brands/redbook-green/docs/redbook_green/brochure.pdf">care guide</a>'s stain removal section.

5. Carpet stain removal mix for wool carpet 
If the water and clean cloth is not lifting the stain, try these recipes for the best carpet stain remover for wool or synthetic carpet. Again, this is for common household spills, if you have a more stubborn stain, look at your carpet's care guide's stain removal section. Just use this mix with a clean cloth, as you did with the warm water, dabbing from the outside in.

Wool Carpet Cleaner 
1 teaspoon of wool laundry detergent 
1 teaspoon of white vinegar 
1 litre of warm water

Synthetic carpet cleaner  
1 teaspoon mild wool laundry detergent 
1 teaspoon of white vinegar 
1 litre of warm water.

6. Carpet stain removal 
If you have determined that your carpet stain is more than your average spill, use your carpet's care guide's stain removal section to determine the most appropriate method.

7. Test it first 
Pre-test the stain removal treatment on a small, less conspicuous area of carpet to make sure it doesn't damage or change the carpet colour.

8. Press the carpet dry between treatments 
Press dry the carpet with a clean white towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture between any steps in the cleaning process.

9. Dry the carpet 
Once the spill has been treated, place a few layers of paper towel or white cloth over the area and weigh it down with a couple of heavy books, an upturned coffee table or something heavy that won't transfer colour. This will absorb any residual moisture.

10. Don't walk on the carpet until it's dry 
Cover the mark with a chair or coffee table, make sure no one walks on the carpet until it is completely dry. Even once it is dry to touch the pad underneath may still be damp, keep it free from foot traffic as long as possible. A hairdryer and also speed up the drying process, but be sure not to overheat the area and scorch your carpet.

11. Remember, don't rub and don't scrub 
You see how important it is that you blot and don't scrub? It's so important we mentioned it twice!

12. Call the professionals 
If the carpet stain isn't removed after treatment, it's time to give the professional carpet cleaners a call.

12 Tips For Easy Stain Removal

<h3>Healthy Homes from The Ground Up</h3>

You might have heard of ‘material health’, a term used to describe how healthy a building product is for you and the overall environment. When it comes to material health, it’s what’s on the inside that matters most.

Leading the way in healthier carpet™, <a href="/product-types/triexta-carpet">Redbook triexta</a> and<a href="/product-types/solution-dyed-nylon-carpet"> Solution Dyed Nylon (SDN)</a> carpets and are officially certified Declare™ Red List Free.

<h3>What’s The Red List?</h3>

The <a href="https://living-future.org/lbc/red-list/">LBC Red List</a> is a register of manufacturing ingredient ‘worst in class’ such as BPA, PVC, fluorocarbons, added formaldehyde, VOC’s and phthalates.

Achieving the Red List Free certification guarantee that a product does not contain Red List chemicals.

<h3>Why it’s Important?</h3>

Interior finishes and furnishings can contain Red List pollutants.

Acting as a ‘nutrition label’ for building materials, Declare™ Red List Free is the gold standard of environmental certification and product transparency.

Carpets with the Red List Free certification offer absolute peace of mind for anyone looking to create a healthier, safer and more sustainable home.

<h3>How Did We Achieve Certification?</h3>

To achieve this, we worked with our entire supply chain to identify, source and utilise healthier manufacturing ingredients. The entire chemical composition of the carpets were scrutinised to a threshold of 100-parts-per-million (100ppm); essentially creating a ‘nutrition’ label of ingredients.

The result? A Declare™ Red List Free certification on all Redbook triexta and SDN carpets the highest and best rating available for material health.

<h3>The Nutrition Label for Building Materials</h3>

Declare™ Red List Free certified products offer full transparency, providing you with peace of mind that you are selecting a healthy building product for a healthier and safer home. With the transparency of the Declare™ Red List Free program, you can make an informed decision to select a floorcovering that creates a safe and healthier home environment.

There are three levels of certification: Declared (good) - This base level of transparency, while revealing a product’s ingredients, will nevertheless contain some Red List ingredients, which will be highlighted. Red List Approved (better) - Where chemicals or product ingredients have no available public information, or a manufacturer is unable to publicly identify an ingredient due to proprietary registration. Products may potentially contain Red List chemicals which if identified, will be highlighted in orange. Red List Free (best) - Complete ingredient disclosure revealing no Red List chemicals at levels at or above 100ppm or 0.01 percent.

<a href="/products?type=CPT&amp;subType=triexta_cpt">Redbook triexta</a> and <a href="/products?type=CPT&amp;subType=solution_dyed_nylon_cpt">SDN carpets</a> achieve the highest and best Declare Red List Free certification™.
