How to look after your carpet
Carpet cleaning is a necessary part of maintaining your home. Even if you vacuum regularly, carpets can still retain dirt and grime that are not visible to the naked eye. Carpets are also susceptible to stains, which can be hard to remove.
There are many ways to clean your carpet, this article will cover some of the most popular methods, including carpet shampoo and stain remover.
Carpets are one of the most popular flooring options in homes and offices. Unfortunately, carpets accumulate dirt and dust over time, which can eventually lead to stains.
Here are some basic tips for carpet care that can help you maintain your carpets:
- Vacuum regularly to remove the dirt and dust from your carpet. This will also help to make it last longer.
- Use a carpet shampoo once or twice a year to clean your carpet fibres and remove any dirt or stains that might have accumulated over time.
- Apply a stain remover as soon as you notice any spills on your carpet. This will prevent them from setting in and becoming permanent stains on your carpet.
How To Clean Your Carpet
Carpet cleaning is a process that can be done by anyone. It’s not complicated, but it does require some effort and a few materials from your side. Here is how you can clean your carpet yourself:
- First, take a damp cloth and wipe down all the furniture on your carpet to remove any dirt or dust that might have accumulated on them. This will also prevent any dirt from being transferred onto your clean carpets when you move your furniture back into place.
- Second, if it’s possible, carefully move pieces of furniture, electronics and any other items that are on top of your carpet.
- Third, vacuum the carpet thoroughly. You should also use a vacuum that has a brush attachment, as this will help you get rid of any dust or hair that you might have missed during your day to day vacuuming.
- Next, fill up the water tank of your carpet cleaning machine to the recommended level. Use warm water only.
- Add the right amount of the recommended carpet cleaning solution to the warm water.
- Now, run the carpet cleaning machine over your carpet at least twice or until you’re satisfied that your carpet is cleaned.
- Change the dirty water tank as you clean it. You might need to do this a few times, depending on the size of your carpet.
