CARPET CLEANING TIPS

CARPET CLEANING TIPS::

Your carpets are one of the most important features of your home or workplace. Although not as eye-catching as any special feature or piece of furniture, a clean carpet can make a subtle difference to your home looking clean and fresh, or being dirty and drab.

A simple and highly effective tip to maintaining your carpet is to use doormats at all entrances to your home or office. It is also a good idea to have a floor mat at any transition from a hard surface onto carpet, as it greatly reduces the amount of dirt being transferred onto your carpet.

One of the most important tips in carpet care is however, vacuuming and carpet cleaning. Vacuuming should be undertaken regularly and thoroughly, particularly on areas where the carpets receive heavy traffic and footfall. The wear of your carpets is increased by the amount of dirt that is compacted into it; wet soil being one of the worst offenders.

A frequent vacuuming and cleaning prevents the dirt build up and so gives you clean results each time. The longer you leave the vacuuming, the less clean you will be able to get your carpets. Slow and firm progressive strokes with the vacuum cleaner will achieve more than hurrying, and the operator / homeowner should aim to complete four passes of the backward and forward motion over the same area for a thorough clean.

If the carpet has not been cleaned thoroughly for some time, it is most likely that your home vacuum cleaner / hoover will not be up to the job. The hire of a professional carpet cleaner from MF Hire in Nottingham can get your carpet back up to it's best standard. It is recommended that your carpet should receive a deep clean with a professional carpet cleaner every 12 - 18 months.

The hot water extraction system or 'steam cleaning' as it is known provides a good method of deep carpet and rug cleaning. A hot mix of water and soap / detergent is sprayed into the carpet pile, and then is vacuumed out by a powerful unit which recovers the water and the dirt from the carpet.

If you decide to use a hot water carpet cleaner it is important not to get the carpets too wet. The detergents should be chemically active enough so as to not require a great amount of water. Over wetting your carpets can cause them to shrink, lose their adhesiveness and all sorts of problems.

To help prepare your carpet for a shampoo or deep clean, brush the carpet first. This will make the pile stand up and loosen any surface dirt. Follow this by vacuuming and then the use of a carpet cleaning machine.
