Carpet Cleaning Tips For Your Home

Carpet cleaning is done to remove dirt, stains, and mites from carpets without altering its color, texture, or height. Generally, common methods used for carpet cleaning include dry-cleaning, hot water extraction, and steam cleaning. The two types of cleaning are often used in tandem to increase the carpet’s life span. Dry cleaning involves using a machine that sucks up the dirt and other pollutants from the carpet using a jet of water.

The next step in carpet cleaning is to remove the stain from its base. This is achieved by using mild detergents and a powerful vacuum machine. Mild detergents are preferred as they are gentle enough on carpet fibers. After applying detergents, a clean cloth is dipped into the detergent solution so that dirt particles that were not dissolved in the detergent can be lifted off the cloth. The cloth is then wrung out and left to dry. In order to fully clean the carpet, the entire surface of the carpet must be covered with the dry cloth.

Steam cleaners work more effectively than the DIY carpet cleaning machine as it is equipped with a pressurized hot water system that removes all dirt particles from the carpets through high-pressure steam. Carpets that have been heavily soiled are best treated using DIY machines as they can handle high-impact tasks. DIY machines are also useful in removing stains from carpet fibers that have sunk into the pile. DIY carpets are also very durable and inexpensive.
