Quick Carpet Cleaning Tips
- Test your carpet before starting any scrubbing, extracting or spotting cleans. Some carpets can be sensitive to acidic cleaners and some to alkalis and can lose their dye.
- Always clean up spills and accidents as they happen. Most dirt can be removed if attended to quickly. Only when it left to react does it become a ’stain’.
- Never rub or brush spots; always work from the outside in and then soak it into a paper towel or cloth.
- Do not overuse any carpet chemicals, or you will be left with residue in the carpet that cannot be vacuumed.
- Wool carpet is ideal material as its texture and resilience means that it is easily cleanable, harder to dent and harder to get soiled.

Great information. It is definitely important to blot and not rub so that you don’t damage carpet fibers. Getting to spills quickly is also very important as well. They always get harder to remove with time.
