Carpet Cleaning – Basic Tips
Basic carpet care combines regular vacuuming, prompt spill treatment and periodic deep cleaning.
- Vacuum slowly with extra passes at entrances and traffic lanes.
- Blot fresh stains using a fibre-safe product after testing discreetly.
- Avoid scrubbing, excessive detergent and over-wetting; choose deep-cleaning methods according to carpet material, soil and drying requirements.
Carpets get stained, and sometimes there is no avoiding it because they work full time. There are many different methods of cleaning a carpet, depending on the size of the rug, the material and how soiled the material is. Carpet cleaning is an important activity because a dirty carpet spoils the beauty of your home and puts your health at risk. Similarly maintaining a clean, welcoming environment is paramount for any business like restaurant, hotel, retail store, office where a dirty carpet can form a bad impression that may deter the customer from returning.
Adam’s Carpet Cleaning recommends the following basic tips on Carpet Cleaning:
1. Carpets need to be vacuumed once a week and more often in areas of heavy traffic. Avoid dirt build up to prolong the life of your carpet. Use your crevice tool for cleaning around baseboards and radiators and in other hard-to-reach places.
2. Organised vacuuming works best for wall-to-wall carpeting, where you need to vacuum an entire quadrant before moving on to the next.
3. In order to fight odours, add baking soda to the bag in your vacuum. There are more ideas in 5 ways to keep your carpets smelling fresh.
4. Soil retardants can be applied to new carpets or to newly cleaned carpets.
5. Pay special attention to places which see maximum traffic of foot movement. Vacuum these areas of heavy traffic with a crisscross pattern of overlapping strokes.
6. You need to take special care of carpets and this might involve going over a section several times to ensure a clean, dust-free and odourless carpet.
