We're certainly not very keen vacuumers and we've ended up with problems with moths! We had a terrible infestation of carpet moths under a bed and ended up with a very sizeable hole in our carpet, and several other small patches in hard to reach places. We discovered the problem three years ago, but it's only been this summer that I think I've finally got the situation under control ... thanks to my Aldi steam mop!<br /><br />I don't think I'd counsel against buying Velieris carpet (it is certainly lovely underfoot), but you would definitely have to be very vigilant when it comes to pests. They do mention prevention of insect damage in their care guide, but I certainly had no idea what I was up against. :(Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121848407269054654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8680735689992839949.post-12124336454739001552016-09-10T12:06:59.960+10:002016-09-10T12:06:59.960+10:00hello!

I'm thinking of carpeting our stairs, master and study in the Romney. Did you end up using this carpet and how have you found it in terms of durability? Do you still love it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
