Our companyTradition and innovation in design and manufactureroger_fell_capOld factoryTextfells_factoryCarpets with pedigreeFells Carpets was founded in 1915 by the present owner's great uncle Mr Percy Fell, who manufactured Tab rugs in Bradley Street Castleford.Castleford was a typical mining town where every household featured a rug in front of a coal fire.As business progressed larger premises were purchased in 1954 in Sykes street Castleford by a young Mr Roger Fell who had the foresight to see what was to be the early beginning of Wall to Wall carpet.Firstly there was machine made standard sizes woven carpet squares and rugs shortly to be followed by a wider width carpet in rolls thereby introducing Wall to Wall carpet.Whilst things were moving fast in the woven carpet manufacturing a new method of manufacturing was also taking place in producing Wall to Wall carpets referred to as Tufting. This system produced product quicker and less expensive thereby opening a massive market.Mr Roger Fell saw this as an opportunity for Distribution and became a member of the W.F.D.A (wholesale Floor covering Distributors association) assuring quality, service and satisfaction from a reputable company.A policy that remains today from the present owner Mr Tim Fell.Business continued to progress and larger premises were purchased in 1964 in the nearby town of Pontefract. The company continued to grow and with the instruction of new manufacturing techniques more space was required which made way to a new purpose built warehouse in 1988 at our current address. Carpet careLooking after your quality carpetcarefree-twist-311carefr-heather-330carpet_cleaningPage 1Page 2CLEANING TIPSRegular cleaning will extend the life of a carpet and maintain its appearance.Vacuum clean regularly and thoroughly, which removes gritty dirt that can damage the fibres. Deal with spillages as soon as possible, preferably the moment they occur. Entrance or walk-off mats The use of entrance mats at all outside entrances to the house is highly recommended, as they will significantly reduce the rate at which the carpet will soil.They should be of adequate size to allow street dirt to be removed from shoe soles and must be cleaned regularly themselves. Many carpets come with a protective fibre treatment to reduce problems with staining and soiling.These treatments, while effective in many ways, are not bullet-proof and will eventually wear off. Quick response to spills and regular cleaning is still required. Never use any detergents such as dishwashing liquids, soaps or other cleaners recommended for general household use. Although they may clean the carpet satisfactorily they will almost certainly cause problems such as rapid re-soiling, colour bleeding or other damage to the pile or backing of the carpet. It is best to engage the services of a professional carpet & upholstery cleaning company.To get a really expert job done entrust the work to a WoolSafe accredited carpet cleaning company. or a company that specialises in cleaning both synthetic and woll carpeting.WOOL CARPET CAREThis is a text box which has a scrollbar enabled.As you add text longer than the box size the scrollbar will appear.Double click here to edit and add your own text.Page 4SPOT REMOVALSoak up liquids with white kitchen roll, tissues, toilet roll or clean cloth Scoop up or scrape off solids Try to identify unknown spots prior to treatment if unsure, use solvent first Always work from the edge of the spot inwards BLOT, do NOT rub Use small quantities of spot remover at a time, applied to a cloth, NOT directly to the spot; work into the spot with a small, soft brush or sponge Take care with applying solvents to bitumen-backed carpet tiles When using solvents always ensure there is plenty of fresh air ventilation Always thoroughly rinse out water-based spotters with clean water Dry the spot, if possible, with a hair dryer Page 5SYNTHETIC CARPET CARERegular vacuum cleaning with an efficient dust catching bag is essential as it prevents loose dirt and grit from working its way into the carpet pile where it will damage fibres. In areas of heavy traffic, it is recommended that carpet be vacuumed three to four times per week. To protect the appearance of your carpets, it is advisable to place barrier mats by each entrance. This will scrape dirt, grit and moisture from the shoes. Cleaning the mats regularly will ensure their continued efficiency. Rubber soled shoes and all types of heels can be hard on carpet pile, especially in front of chairs where heel abrasion is difficult to avoid. Periodically move chairs and restrict the use of sports shoes and trainers in certain areas. All carpet gets dirty and after a while will need a clean to bring back its appearance and colour. It is recommended that carpets be cleaned by a specialist cleaning company that use the correct solvents and cleaning agents for your carpet. Everyday spills and stains can be cleaned using a Spot Cleaning Kit as an aid to preserving your carpets good looks. If you clean the carpet yourself, always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Always pre-test a small unobtrusive area before cleaning the rest of the carpet. If a stain reappears after cleaning, all the spill and/or cleaning agent may not have been removed completely. Further cleaning and rinsing is necessary. If in doubt consult a carpet cleaning specialist.Page 6CARPET TROUBLESHOOTERCOLOUR MATCHING Carpets are produced in batches. Whilst the recipe used by the dyer remains constant, and is followed to the letter, in each separate production the colour reproduction will vary from batch to batch. However production is matched back to the original or master sample to ensure that the colour remains within a commercial tolerance. To ensure perfect colour matching it is advisable that a single width be used in any installation requiring exact colour matching. Carpets which are laid with the pile travelling in different directions, even though they be from the same batch will appear not to match. The samples held by individual retailers may not be from the same batch as current production and therefore should be used as a guide and not an exact colour match. SHEDDING All cut pile carpets will lose short fibre, which is created during production when spun yarn is cut for tuft formation. These fibres fall onto the surface of the pile and appear as fluff. The effect varies with yarn type and may be removed without detrimental effect upon the carpet by vacuum cleaning. PULLED LOOPS Pulled loops occur only in looped pile carpet where one or more loops in the continuous pile is pulled through the primary backing of the carpet. This is usually due to some local condition, possibly some sharp object which has caught in a loop in situ and has resulted in a pull. Pulled loops are easily dealt with by trimming the offending end level with the rest of the pile. They should not be left as this could result in further loops being pulled and developing into a ladder. SPROUTING Occasionally an odd tuft or two can work its way to the surface and stand proud of the rest of the pile. This is probably due to one end of the tuft being longer than the other i.e. J shaped tuft instead of V shaped. Remedial action merely requires that the offending tufts be scissor trimmed level with the rest of the pile. They should never be pulled out. SHADING Shading occurs because the pile of the carpet has become crushed, flattened or brushed in a different direction to the natural lie of the pile whilst in situ. This causes light reflection at differing angles resulting in the creation of light and dark patches on the carpet. This will occur on all pile fabrics but can be more noticeable on plainer carpets because the shadows created by pile pressure will not be disguised by a heavy pattern or design. STATIC Carpets do not produce static but like other household fabrics and objects have the capacity to store it. Static is caused by the build up of static electricity upon people in a dry environment and is discharged when a person makes contact with an object which can conduct electricity (i.e. door handle or filing cabinets, etc). The static charges will vary in intensity depending upon the individual, air humidity and the contact materials. Static is more usually associated with synthetic materials as they do not retain moisture very well but it can and does occur with wool in very dry room conditions. Preventative measures include the introduction of moisture into the room or in situ carpet treatment. FADING ON WOOL Carpets made from wool can and do fade in use. The degree of fade can vary depending on the colour chosen and the local conditions to which the carpet is subjected. Fading can be caused by exposure to ultra violet light which is found in daylight, but is accelerated when sunlight shines directly onto the carpet. This has the effect of lightening or bleaching the colour just as exposure to sunlight will lighten human hair. Protection should be given to carpets exposed to such conditions just as you would protect other furniture or fabrics. PILE REVERSAL Like shading, this occurs when the pile or nap of the carpet changes direction and thus reflects light at different angles showing the effects of shading which can become permanent. It is also described as watermarking. Like shading it can be more apparent on plain carpet because heavy patterns can disguise the effects. It can occur quite quickly after installation. A tremendous amount of research has been carried out over many years by many institutes to determine the cause of this phenomenon but none of it has proved conclusive. There is no commonly known manufacturing process which can cause or cure this phenomenon and therefore it is not a manufacturing fault. INDENTATIONS When a carpet is subjected to a heavy point load, such as under the legs of furniture, it is unreasonable to expect the carpet not to indent. Usually, the longer the load is in place, the longer will be the time for the pile to recover. In the case of very heavy loads in place for a considerable time, the recovery time can be very considerable. It must be remembered that it is not only the pile of the carpet that becomes indented. The underlay will also indent and the backing of the carpet may also distort into theindentation in the underlay. Some underlays will recover well and some less well depending upon their composition, thickness, density etc. The use of cups below furniture legs can spread the load and the net result is a larger area of less deeply indented carpet. Your carpet will look better longer if you take some simple steps to look after it - and if you know what to do with it when you have a stain or spillage.Here is our carpet care guide.Cleaning tipsSpot removalSynthetic carpet careCarpet troubleshooter> NOTE - Carpet Care DisclaimerCommercialA reliable partner for commercial projectssupreme-twist-881fellcomm_runnerfellscomm_decotex-085fellscomm_repa76.730fellscomm_repa90.799Commercial expertiseFells Carpets was founded in 1915 by the present owner's great uncle Mr Percy Fell, and ever since Fells Carpets have been involved in both domestic and commercial projects.Fells Carpets understand the need for correct colour and design and we go one or two steps further in our development process.
