Do It Yourself Cleaning Carpet

For any do-it-yourself cleaning method, the following points are critical:

Always vacuum first to remove as much dry soil as possible.

Follow instructions carefully!

Consider the following precautions with a wet-cleaning method:

Remove furniture from the room before cleaning or, if impractical,place plastic film under and around the legs of chairs, tables, and other furniture to prevent rust or furniture stains from developing on the carpet.

Use only the recommended cleaning solution strength. Stronger solutions may cause accelerated re-soiling. Be sure to rinse all detergent from the carpet to prevent accelerated re-soiling.

Do not over-wet the carpet. Over-wetting may cause separation of the backing, separation of the seams, shrinkage, discoloration, and odor.

The carpet should be dry within 12 hours. Provide proper ventilation or use fans to accelerate the drying process and exhaust any existing solution-related fragrances.

Allow the carpet to dry completely before walking on it.
