Carpet Cleaning Tips

Let’s face it, carpets need a little care and attention every now and then. Whether it is a coffee stains, a paper ink stains or the everyday dust and dirt, carpet cleaning should be included in the list. For me, the hardest part of cleaning the carpet is the effort involved in moving furniture and waiting for the fibres to dry, but carpet care doesn't have to be difficult. The basic carpet cleaning method is to vacuum it once a week. Frequent vacuuming prolongs the life of the carpet by preventing the build-up of gritty particles that can cut carpet fibers.

 Powder As A Carpet Cleaner

Using a powder carpet cleaner or a baking soda is a great way in cleaning the carpets. You just have to sprinkle the powder liberally over the carpets and leave the powder for at least 30 minutes. After the required time, you can start to vacuum the powder and then it’s done.

Shampoo As A Carpet Cleaner

Aside from powder carpet cleaner, you can use also the carpet shampoo. You have to be aware that there many brands of carpet shampoo, so you have to make sure that you follow the instructions on the label.  First, you have to make a solution as directed on the packaging. In many cases, the product will need to be diluted with water. You have to use just enough carpet shampoo to cover the area.  Don’t make the carpet too wet because this is a waste of detergent and it’s also going to increase the drying time. You can now start to scrub the particular stubborn areas using a brush and when the carpet is dry, vacuum it to finish the carpet cleaning.
