Carpet Cleaning Methods

There are several types of cleaning.

• Dry cleaning - carried out with a vacuum cleaner or in specialized machines, which are located in factories, dry cleaners. To clean the carpet with a hand vacuum cleaner:
  • Visually divide the coating into strips.
  • Treat excessively soiled carpet sections several times.
  • Make moves along the pile and against the pile, and you will improve cleaning if you move crosswise.
  • If the process is accompanied by unpleasant odors, use the following recipe. In a small container, mix the crushed fragrant herbs, add 1 tsp. cloves, ground cinnamon and soda. Sprinkle on the carpet. Leave on for 5 minutes and vacuum clean.
• Wet cleaning - produced using professional carpet cleaners. Carpets are usually cleaned using special shampoos, but they are not always effective, since the foam does not penetrate deep into the fibers and does not actually remove stains.
• Carpet washing - usually this type of cleaning is very specific, because not every material can be machine washed and soaked in general. For example, Chinese carpets are saturated with starch, which will be washed during washing, viscose categorically does not accept this type of cleaning, and many carpets are basically glue, which, when exposed to water, will become sour, and the product will be deformed, and ultimately will be unusable.
