Top 5 Mistakes Should Avoid While Carpet Cleaning

1. Top 5 Mistakes Should Avoid While Carpet Cleaning 1

2. 1. Using The Wrong Carpet Cleaner • Spray carpet cleaner can be effective on some stains, but using other household cleaners or cleaning supplies on carpet cleaning can be disastrous. • Many surface cleaners and laundry detergents contain bleach and other harsh chemicals that will permanently discolor carpeting. 2

3. 2. Incorrectly Using Carpet Deodorizer • Carpet deodorizer powder isn't intended to clean away dirt, and it isn't effective at stain removal. • Even worse, the average vacuum isn't powerful enough to remove deodorizing powder, causing it to build up and making the carpet even dirtier over time. 3

4. 3. Relying On Carpet Cleaner Rental • Renting a carpet cleaner such as a steam cleaner or carpet shampooer from a grocery store or a discount chain location may seem like a good idea, but these machines are not always serviced between renters. 4

5. 4. Scrubbing Carpet Spills • If you drop something like coffee or red wine on the carpet, don’t immediately rush to scrub it off. • Instead of scrubbing, blot the spill with a paper towel until it’s dry, and then treat it with stain remover, after testing the product in a hidden area of carpet to make sure it won't fade the colour. 5

6. 5. Using Too Much Water • Spray carpet cleaner can be effective on some stains, but using other household cleaners or cleaning supplies on carpet can be disastrous. • Many surface cleaners and laundry detergents contain bleach and other harsh chemicals that will permanently discolor carpeting. 6
