Carpet Cleaning – How to Avoid Some Problems

Table of Contents

The two most common problems related to carpet cleaning using the DIY method are the over-wetting and excessive use of detergents.

Ideally, the carpet should be dry within eight hours. If it stays wet for more than twelve hours mold may develop and grow. If the carpet is still very damp, a vacuum cleaner with a water filter can be used to remove excess moisture. After that, drying time can be accelerated by a dryer. It is desirable that the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system be switched on while the washed carpets are completely dry.

The excessive use of detergents (chemicals with high surfactant activity with washing, disinfecting or dissolving action) is another common problem when trying to clean the paved carpets themselves. Exceeding the amount of detergent over the recommended proportion of the solution does not increase the washing performance. When using a stronger concentration than recommended, remains of detergent in the carpet may remain, which may subsequently allow the carpet to get older faster.

Other common problems related to home cleaning of carpets are improper cleaning agents – some may contain chemicals that only remove stains, many contain bleaching agents; It can damage the fibers if the laundry is not properly made. Never use laundry detergent as a detergent. Most detergents contain bleaches.

There are five recognized cleaning methods for carpets, but only three are user-friendly. Furthermore, if professional cleaning is carried out, only these three methods should be used.

Many steam cleaners (hot water extraction) are available on the market and are available to consumers for this purpose.

Domestic appliances or water-based cleaning systems allow for a good quality carpet washing, and the results can be improved by selecting high-quality detergents and applying the preparation directly to the carpet using the special nozzles. The preparation may remain on the carpet for 5-7 minutes, after which it has to be cleaned.

Another popular method of carpet cleaning is the use of dry absorbent or dry cleaning. With this method of cleaning does not recover the carpet, it is intended to be used several times a year to maintain the appearance of the carpet. This method uses for dust organic material, which is saturated with detergents and dry solvents. The mixture is applied to the carpet fibers, then the dust is removed by the vacuum cleaner with the absorbed dirty particles.
