Carpet cleaning can be done for a number of reasons. Some of
the most obvious reasons are to keep the carpet looking fresh and new all the
time. The fact that you have kids playing and people walking over the carpet
exposes it to a number of incidents that could make it dirty and even worse
stained. Keeping the carpet clean will also keep away any dust that could cause
allergies with time if disturbed. These will create a nice looking space. It
can be cleaned using a number of methods right from steam cleaning by the
professionals to the use of detergents and liquid shampoo that is if you are
doing it on your own. Here are 5 important things to take note on carpet
cleaning in Nigeria.
1. When dealing with stains, you will want to use detergents
and reagents that work for your carpet. Carpet fixing liquid will do the trick
when it comes to tough stains. You will however need to be wise about these
liquids and try them on a small piece of carpet before using it on the whole
area. The reason for this is that some carpet fixing liquids could harm the
look of the carpet. If you are dealing with expensive carpets and rugs, it is
wise for you to use carpet cleaning services for a good secure job other than
taking a risk on your investment.
2. You will need to know how to clean and maintain a rug
when buying it. All rugs will not be cleaned and maintained the same way. This
is a good idea especially if you are thinking of going all the way in terms of
an expensive rug. You will want to use the right method. Getting advice when
buying your expensive rug from the sellers will save you the sad surprise of
damaging the same. Some will need simple vacuuming that comes with its special
liquid while others will not mind rough handling.
3. You can handle stains that occur all of a sudden in the
home. If you are not enthusiastic about having the whole carpet cleaned simply
because of a simple stain, some dull knife, ammonia water, rubbing alcohol and
paper towels will do the trick. Ensure that you sue the ammonia on the spot and
the paper towels to quickly dry the spot as you scrub with the alcohol and the
dull knife. This will blot the stain out. Dealing with a stain a soon as it
occurs will deal with it better other than waiting for it to stick permanently.
4. Using furniture in the house can dent the carpet and
cause dead tuft. Brush the tufts of the carpet with a bush as you steam with an
iron box. Do not touch the carpet with the iron box no matter what. The idea is
using the steam to brush the carpet.
5. If you have candle wax spilling on you carpet, you will
realize that it will fuse with the carpet tufts. Make sure you also steam brush
the same and then use paper towels and lay them on the area. Iron the area as
the paper towels absorb the melting wax. Do this till all the wax is melted and
absorbed and the brush them over again.
