[AD] What is the Right Way to Clean a Carpet?

Each of us, who has a carpet in his home, cleans it with a vacuum cleaner once, twice or even three times a week. However, is this enough to keep it in perfect condition? As you have probably convinced yourself, a carpet needs everyday attention. Although vacuuming removes the surface dirt, including sand, crumbs and pieces of hair, over time it loses the brightness of its colours.

So, what is the ideal carpet cleaning method that will keep your carpet constantly fresh and clean? Should we use professional carpet cleaning services on regular basis or is it better to invest the money in a washing vacuum cleaner?

Steam carpet cleaning is the most useful and effective way to clean carpets. It allows you to remove complex contaminants, dust and small debris. It also destroys microorganisms and helps you get rid of allergens. Hot water extraction carpet cleaning does not harm most varieties of carpets and can replace expensive expert carpet cleaning services. You can purchase the steam machine and use it yourself or you can use professional carpet steam cleaning procedures from time to time.

Another option for you is purchasing a washing vacuum cleaner. It is important not to spoil the carpet and not worsen its appearance. Therefore, you need to know how to properly clean your home carpet with a vacuum cleaner. 

Which Washing Vacuum Cleaner is best for you?

People know how much time and energy deep carpet cleaning requires. This is especially true for cleaning expensive carpets, which require a special approach. The appearance of washing vacuum cleaners has simplified the solution to this unpleasant task. They are especially useful if someone in the house suffers from allergies or respiratory diseases.

The choice of such equipment is usually based on domestic needs and financial opportunities. Those who do not want to pay for expensive brands such as Zelmer, can purchase the equipment of cheaper Turkish or Italian brands. In this case, you will not overpay for the brand name and get a good vacuum cleaner. However, you should not get carried away with saving by purchasing low-quality equipment. Before purchasing a washing vacuum cleaner, try to read reviews on forums and social networks. Do not blindly trust reviews published in online stores. Often they are placed by resource owners or brand marketing.

How to Clean the Carpet with a Washing Vacuum Cleaner?

The process of vacuuming with a washing vacuum cleaner is very different from traditional dry cleaning. The work consists of two stages: surface preparation and carpet cleaning.

Preparatory work includes:

• Removing dust and debris from floors, furniture, walls. This is to prevent dirt from getting onto a clean surface during washing. After that, wool, dust and other dry contaminants are removed from the surface with a conventional vacuum cleaner.
• Selection of cleaning products. Some chemicals can damage the structure of the material and blur the paint. Therefore, you first need to check the effect of the preparation, applying it to a small inconspicuous area. In the absence of a negative reaction, you can use the composition for cleaning.
• The choice of nozzles. The specific device depends on the material, product and the length of the pile. 

Vacuuming is carried out as follows:

• Assemble the vacuum cleaner in accordance with the instructions.
• Pour water with a small amount of detergent into the tank. Their ratio can be found in the instructions.
• Turn on the vacuum cleaner by setting full suction power.
• Slowly process the surface by moving the nozzle back and forth. Carpet cleaning should begin from the edge of the carpet, gradually covering the entire area.
• Remove residual detergent by filling the tank of the vacuum cleaner with clean water.
• Dry the pile thoroughly with the suction nozzle.
• Disassemble the washing vacuum cleaner, rinse and dry its parts.

After washing, wait until the carpet dries completely. This can take up to 4 hours. It is not recommended to walk on a wet pile – if you do this, you may spoil the appearance of the coating. Drying time depends on temperature and humidity in the room. This step can be accelerated by using a fan or air conditioner with a dehumidification function. 

Do not leave the product wet – mold will multiply in it.
