CLEANING YOUR CARPETS
You will not need to wash your carpets as often
if you vacuum them frequently. When you do
need to wash them, however, they are designed
to come off for cleaning. Give the corner a gentle
tug to remove it from the wooden platform or
panel. Clean by hand or with a carpet cleaner.
Do not machine wash. Replace the carpet when
completely dry.
The carpets are made of a nylon fiber weave. Just
use the methods below to clean common spills.
If you have a spill that is not described, call
Customer Service at 1-800-777-4244 for more
