Carpet Cleaning for your Home
08/23/2013 Back To BlogDo It Yourself – It’s Easy
Today’s technology has improved the do-it-yourself rental machines so that they are easier to use and more efficient. They don’t weigh much more than a regular upright vacuum cleaner, and are about as simple to use. With the purchase of the right cleaning solution for the cleaner, you can soon have clean, fresh flooring throughout the house.
It is easy to go to the local retailer and rent a steam carpet cleaner. These cleaners are rented out by the hour or by the day or half day, depending on how long you think it will take to clean the carpets in your home. The correct cleaning solution and stain removers are available from the same retail outlet.
Upon arriving at home with the machine, read the instructions thoroughly. The steps to a clean carpet are easily understood, and diagrams and pictures aid in the learning process. It really is as simple as filling the reservoir with water, adding the cleaning solution, then pulling the cleaning head back and forth over the dirty carpet.
How It Works
The cleanser is forced through water jets into the carpet, and then suctioned back up, bringing dirt and grime with the water. Another reservoir on the machine collects the dirty water, and you empty it periodically. Pre-treating stains with an aerosol or spray stain remover can assist in the getting the fabric perfectly clean looking.
If you repeat the process throughout the house, you will have clean looking and smelling carpeting in very little time, and with only a minimum of effort. The longest part of the process is waiting for the carpets to dry.
You can speed the drying process by opening windows and doors or placing electric fans at floor level to blow air across the surface of the carpeting.
You’ll find do-it-yourself carpet cleaning to be an economical answer to nicely clean floor surfaces throughout your home.
