Creasing when a new carpet is opened. Commonly, it may show some creases from being rolled while shipping. Rest assured that Creasing would disappear after the carpet has been laid flat for some time. Rolling the rug with the pile facing outward and leaving it like that for a while may speed up the process.
Odour A freshly installed carpet may give a strong odor as they are shipped in sealed bags and odors from dyes and fibers get trapped. This odor will naturally dissipate with time once it has been unpackaged and is allowed to breathe for a while. Vacuuming also helps to let the trapped odor in piles to come out.
Initially, the carpet may shed or lose fibers. To combat this, vacuum the carpet on a low setting. It usually stops after it has been vacuumed a couple of times. Sometimes loose and long fibers may appear on the surface of the carpet. These can be trimmed with scissors to even the
pile.
