When it comes time to clean your carpet the best option is to hire a professional carpet and upholstery cleaner to do the job. They after all have the right equipment and skills to get the job done. If you must do it yourself however there are some things you can do to get the job done right. Read this article for some useful tips.
The first tip which most people do not do is to vacuum thoroughly. This is important with any carpet cleaning but even more so if you are using rental equipment which is not as strong as commercial quality machines. Take your time and do a thorough vacuuming because up to 80 percent of the soil in your home is dry and can be removed with a good vacuuming. The average five room house should take you about forty five minutes to vacuum if you are doing it right. The next tip is to not get the carpet too wet.
If you over wet the carpet it will take forever to dry and you will run the risk of forcing stains down where they can late wick back to the surface. Be sure to make extra drying passes with the machine to get as much of the water out as possible. Yet another tip is to not use too much shampoo. This will just lead to rapid re-soiling so use it sparingly and apply it separately. Use the machine filled with plain water to rinse the carpet. The last tip is to dry the carpet as soon as possible. Use your air conditioning as a dehumidifier and set it at a reasonable temperature. Also turn on all of your ceiling fans and use any floor fans that you might have. If the carpet cleaner rental store also rents fans, consider renting a professional quality fan which will greatly speed up the drying.
That is it. it is that simple. Follow these tips and you are much more likely to produce a satisfactory job. Remember, carpet cleaning is a lot of work and you might not save as much money as you think doing it yourself so you should consider hiring a pro. Good luck.
