Despite the popularity of hardwood floors, carpets remain arguably the most common floor covering. Even with the cleaning requirements that make carpets somewhat difficult to maintain.
Vacuuming can help a dirty carpet. However, you will need a professional carpet cleaning service to fully get the dirt and debris out. This is especially true if you have a commercial business on the Sunshine Coast which may require more frequent steam carpet cleaning.
In between the professional steam carpet clean the following tips to tide will tide you over.
Club Soda & Vinegar for a Dirty Carpet
Your two main carpet cleaning solutions are inexpensive club soda and vinegar. When used correctly, they can lift most stains from the dirty carpet. Plus, they are non-toxic meaning they cause no harm to those living in your home. If you see a stain, try club soda first. If that does not work, spray a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water onto the stain and try again.
Avoid Rubbing Stains
If you have a stain in the carpet, rubbing it will only grind the materials and discolouration further into the fibres. Instead, apply a cleaning solution to a cloth and gently dab it. The dabbing action will help lift the stain from the carpet instead of driving it in further.
Shaving Cream
You may not believe it, but shaving cream is an excellent stain remover. If you have tried club soda and vinegar, then apply some shaving cream to the stain and let it sit for about a half-hour. Then blot it up with a dry cloth and spray the 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water to the area and blot again.
How to Remove Grease Stains:
For grease stains, dish soap offers an effective answer. Just as in your kitchen sink, dish soap can cut through the grease and break it up. Mix a few drops of dish soap with a cup of warm water and pour it into a spray bottle. Apply it to the stain and then blot up the grease.
How to Remove Chewing Gum:
This can be real problematic unless you freeze the chewing gum. Get a few ice cubes and press them against the chewing gum for up to one minute. Then you can use a spoon to lift it up and scissors to cut it away from the carpet if needed.
How to Remove Blood:
These tips will help you use the right materials to clean the stains that are present. Be sure to vacuum regularly and hire a professional commercial carpet steam clean service on the Sunshine Coast to keep your carpets looking sharp.
