Cleaning a carpet is really difficult. The stains, the pet hair and the dirt! A lot of professional help is available in the market; however, if your carpet is not very dirty and all you have to do is remove that one stain or remove some hair or dirt, then you shouldn't spend all that money. These carpet cleaning tips in Tampa will help you.
1. Getting rid of the stains: stains are of many types. And a lot of stain removers and detergents are also available in the market. However before buying any of them, make sure that they don't spoil your carpet color. Again if you buy something that suits your needs, make sure that you use it on some other delicate cloth first and see the result.
Prepare a solution using the stain remover and water (make it strong according to the type of stain). Then pour the required amount directly on the stain. After that leave it for about 15 minutes and clean it with a wet cloth or a wet sponge. Let it dry and repeat the step if necessary. DO NOT dry it in the sun because if the solution is too strong, the carpet may lose its color.
2. Getting rid of the hair: A moist brush works best for removing the pet hair. You can use a vacuum cleaner after using the brush.
But always remember that the brush should be used in one direction only and it should be used softly.
3. Getting rid of the dirt: The dirt can be wiped off using a wet cloth (wetting the cloth with water and disinfectant will be better). However, if the carpet is multicolored, use a different cloth for every patch of color as using the same cloth may spread the carpet. And if your carpet has light colors, use a white cloth.
When not in use, the carpet should always be wrapped using a bed sheet or any cloth.
