Carpets are an is an irreplaceable comfort for any household, but it could also be extremely intimidating to clean: One step wrong and you can easily have an overwetted, detergent-trapped, damaged carpet, the smell of which will haunt you for the rest of your life. The task is difficult to nail even for the pros.
But no worries, cleaning a carpet would be both effective and decently manageable when you get a hang of how it works. In this article we will discuss on how the carpet cleaning process works, and how you should use some of the common carpet cleaning tools that could be found in most households.
So we will start with the (seemingly) most straightforward and DIY way to clean the carpet: Using carpet cleaning sprays, also so known as carpet spot cleaners. In order to use these products safely and effectively, this is the general procedure that you should follow.
Most commercial cleaning products contain strong chemical components, so it is always safer to check the product’s label and the manufacturer’s guide to see whether or not it is safe to use on the materials your carpet is made of.
This is yet another step to make sure the product is safe to use on your carpet. To do the patch test, first, choose an out-of-the-way corner of the carpet, Then spray a small amount of cleaner spray on that area, and wait for a few minutes to see whether any problem surfaces.
For this step, you should adhere strictly to the manufacturer’s instructions. Carpet spray cleaner are typically carpet spot cleaners used to remove stains on carpet. Most user guide would instruct you to do the follows:
As a note, you may not want to overspray the product on a stain, because the cleaning product residual would then penetrate into the carpet and become very hard to remove.
If you skipped the precaution measures mentioned in step 1 and step 2, or have taken those measures but a cleaning product unsafe for your carpet still get through the filter anyway, it would be good to know how to handle the situation when adverse chemical reaction begins to damage your carpet. The most common adverse chemical reactions often seen with carpet cleaning spray are bleach reaction and alkaline reaction.
When the spot on the carpets where you spray the cleaner gets brightened or discolored, it is bleach reaction. To neutralize the bleach, do the follows.
When the spot on the carpets where you spray the cleaner turns brown in color, it is alkaline reaction. To neutralize the alkaline, do the follows.
By following these guide, your using carpet spray cleaner would be effective and safe
A carpet cleaner takes its heavy-duty cleaning power from a combination of powerful cleaning solutions, powerful scrubbing brushes and powerful suction. The mixture of cleaning solution and water gets injected deep into the fibre; the brushes scrub the carpet and cause the stains to get physically loosen up; and the cleaner’s suction sucks away the broken down debris.
A frequently asked question is whether or not a carpet cleaner heats up water. The answer is yes. Most manufacturers would recommend you to use hot tap water in the water tank of the cleaner, and have heating function with their machine in order to keep the water hot.
One of the most popular carpet shampooers, beloved for its effectiveness, is the Hoover Power Scrub Elite carpet cleaner. Since most carpet cleaners have relatively similar design when it comes to using, we thought it would be a good ideal to show you how to use the Hoover Power Scrub carpet cleaner as an example.
To use a carpet cleaner, in this case, the Hoover Power Scrub Elite, you should follow these steps:
Each turn of back and forward move is a stroke. As a note, a carpet shampooer’s stroke must be a lot slower than a vacuum cleaner’s, so make sure to keep that in mind. And, as warned by the manufacturer, you should not do more than 4 wet runs on a single section (when squeezing the trigger) to avoid overwetting the carpet.
On top of the heavy-duty carpet cleaning, you should also take good care of your carpet in everyday activities as well, in order to lessen the deep clean burden, and also to not cause any unfixable problems. Here are some measures that could help you better protect your carpet:
