Hi, Here are some good tips to keep the carpet clean. Firstly find out the type it is consisted of,whether of wool, plant fibers, silk or synthetics. Each one is cleaned differently with different detergents and products. Like wool can never be cleaned with any heated products or machines, and also we can't apply the bleach.Then apply the methods according to the variety. Methods: Steam cleaning is very popular method to keep your carpets clean that carpets need to be steam cleaned about once every two years. This will help to increase the lifespan of your carpet. BONNET CLEANING is also the good method of cleaning the carpet.The bonnet is placed at the base of buffer. Dip it into a shampoo solution and then go over the carpet, just as if buffing a floor. The bonnet starts to get soiled, means it is actually removing dirt from the carpet. Rinse it out, turn it over and keep working with it until it is too soiled to continue. Thanks, with regards

Keeping carpet clean is tough. I have found guests subtly protest against taking their shoes off.. New guests or clients are happy to take their shoes off (I'm a photographer so clients come to my home for meetings) but friends can be rude 'oh what? are you serious? you want my shoes off?' that annoys me I have 2 cats. Ugh! Pet stains = Ugh! I am a germofobe.. Well I'll kiss my kitties.. otherwise if I was THAT much a germafobe I wouldn't have cats.. but one of them has a thyroid disorder and sometimes the poor little guy vomits. My mistake has been spending a lot of money testing different carpet cleaning products, and a lot of the time sponging the carpet clean with such products would create a bigger mess or spread the stain! Ikea sell $15 metre square colorful rugs. I bought 6.. black, red, pink, yellow, green, blue when they are laid next to eachother it looks like one big rug, and this has helped a lot. Its so easy to wash one rug when a cat pukes, than it is to wash the actual carpet I have discovered that Vinegar is a bit of a miracle washer! If I clean the cat vomit with vinegar I get better results than ANY product from the shelves. I recently didn't realise that a lemon fell from my shopping bag behind a polyester ikea crate full of clothes, and the lemon had developed that dusty black mould and the mould dropped to the carpet It vaccumed up easily but I washed that part of the carpet by hand with cloudy ammonia. I read online that ammonia kills germs like mould. I seem to have made a big water stain though which I'm annoyed about I paid a local carpet cleaner guy $100 which was a bargain for a 2 room clean of a 1 bedroom apartment. The people I hired last year charged me $140 as they wanted extra money to come up one flight of stairs. This man was lovely. Even though I vac twice a week and mop almost daily, his industrial machine got up 2 large handfuls of cat hair!!! He said the minute I told him I had pets over the phone, he brought his special equipment. Unfortunately I messed up the carpet where I used the cloudy ammonia. There's just some darker markings like water staining, so I'm trying the watered down laundry soap routine this time

I tried searching for some sort of reocmmendation/explanation of the various methods and companies, but ended up mostly pulling up spam. I have tried asking around locally and since no one had anyone to rave about I am inclined to only use big companies. Some people say Sears, some say Chem dry, some say Stanly steemer. I had carpets cleaned in my last house and I think it was Sears, the job was fine. I am confused with how long it takes to dry ( previously... in my last house we are talking many years ago like probably 15 or so I think these might have changed). How long did it take to dry, how long does it take for them to clean a room , any and all comments/explanation would be greatly appreciated.

When sweeping, the grit is being flipped along surface of the floor to an area and then picked up in a dust pan. At work or school, if you give the floor a "white glove test" (wipe with a white rag) after a wet mopping the glove/rag will be dirty. In other words a quick slinging of a wet mop across the floor will not remove all of the dirt. If your home floor is cared for in the same manner, it will not pass the "white glove test". I love a clean floor, socks don't get dirty, bare feet do not feel gritty and dirty. Dirt on socks or feet will transfer the dirt to the chair cushions, etc. if you tuck your feet up in the chair or sofa. Think about how dirty chair/sofa cushions will become if there are children running around on the floor and then getting on the furniture. Their little legs are too short to reach the floor in order to sit like adults.
