Carpet & Sofa Cleaning Tips.

General Tips for cleaning Fabric in your household

• Regular vacuuming. Over 70% of dirt in your carpet is loose dirt which can be vacuumed up. This also stops premature wear and stops oils from building up attracting more dirt.

• Always test fabric before using a cleaner to see how the fabric reacts. Some lose there colour.

• Treat stains or spills immediately, the longer you leave a stain, the longer it will have to chemically react, making it harder to remove.

• Always use cleaning agents designed for the specific task, we can supply these. Start with the mildest solution and work your way up. Never use harsh chemicals (bleaches etc). If in doubt call a professional.

• Don’t use supermarket cleaning agents. Blot stain with warm water until no moisture is left. If stain is still present re-apply water gently blotting, not rubbing.

• Never over wet a carpet of fabric. Without an extraction machine over wetting can cause browning, shrinkage, ring marks and other nasty side affects.
