Carpet Cleaning Tips

 

Despite the availability of many residential flooring products (laminate, vinyl, tile, wood, stone and many others), carpet cleaning Lantana is still the most popular ($10 billion in revenues the other year).

 

Perhaps, people loves carpet cleaning Lantana because of its warmth and softness, and that it needs less maintenance and upkeep than hard-surface floors. Carpets require frequent vacuuming and occasional deep;-clean scrubbing is all it needs to look fresh and new.

 

Accidents

 

However, carpets are not immune to the little accidents that happen being in use every day at the office or in your house. There will be wine spills, splashes, messy accidents with other drinks, sauces, gravy, and others.

 

Fortunately, carpet professionals have some little and important tips that you can use with regards to these accidents on your carpet.

 

Stains

 

Blot stains and don’t scrub. When a stain occurs, resist the urge to scrub. It will drive the stain down into the carpet. Instead, gently dab stains with a cleaning solution and a clean cloth, paper towel or sponge.

 

Blotting is putting some pressure on the stain to soak it up. When rubbing, the particles goes down onto the carpet and leads to premature breakdown of the fibers involved.

 

Blot out the stain towards the center of the stain, doing it outward will spread the stain across.

 

Vinegar and club soda

 

You can use club soda to remove beer and wine stains from your carpet cleaning Lantana. If you use it correctly, it can.

 

Pour our club soda onto a clean cloth first and then blot out the stain. If the stain appears lighter, repeat with more club soda.

 

If that is not working, mix and one-to-one ratio of white vinegar and water and pour it into a hand-held spray bottle. Spray onto the stain part. Let it soak in for about 10 to 15 minutes.

 

Next, press a clean dry sponge down onto the saturated area to soak up the cleaning solution and the diluted stain. Repeat the process if necessary until the stain is gone.

 

Once removed, rinse the area with clean warm water. Finally, lay several white paper towels over the area and weigh them down with something heavy, like a phone book. Leave in place for about a day until the carpet is dry.

 

Shaving cream

 

For those who don’t know, a shaving cream is one of the best carpet cleaners around because it removes mot types of stains. Apply the saving cream directly onto the stain and let it stay for about 30 minutes.

 

After the shaving cream has set, blot it out with a dry white cloth. Spray the area with a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water, and then wipe it away with a cloth.

 

Dish soap

 

Grease is one of the most difficult stains to remove from carpeting. Place a few drops of grease-cutting dish soap (or detergent) into a cup of warm water. Dissolve the soap into the solution.

 

Transfer the solution into a hand-held spray bottle and soak the greasy stain. Afterwards, blot it out with a white cloth (or paper towels). Depending on the stain’s size, you may need to repeat the process several times.
