Method 1: Remove Dirt with Vacuum  

Do you know why you should clean the dirt? It is like a blade; it damages the fibers when you walk across the carpets. The best thing is to vacuum the dirt out of the carpets. Follow these steps for high-quality carpet cleaning.  

Right Height for Vacuum 

Setting the vacuum at a proper height is important. You can raise the vacuum to its highest setting and turn it on. After that, you can lower it slowly until you notice a good vacuum.  

Vacuum Often 

Vacuum high traffic areas like drawing rooms, entrance areas often. Oily soils attract dirt more, so it would be better to clean the place more frequently.  

Clean the Bag or Replace the Vacuum 

Many bagless vacuums in the market stop working after a few months. You need to replace the bagless vacuum or change the bag when it is three-quarters full. 

Vacuum at the Right Speed 

Slowly vacuum the dirt out of the carpets. Please have around over low traffic areas and slowly pass the vacuum thrice over high foot traffic areas. 

Method 2: Use of DIY 

Many customers who cannot hire professional wet carpet drying services would like to implement DIY solutions. The best part is, you can rent a machine from a nearby store and clean your carpets. It sounds easy, but the process is complex. Besides that, most of the rented machines come with low horsepower and fail to eliminate the dirt from the fibres. Our professionals do not recommend DIY solutions because they may lead to more damages. Still, you can implement it in some cases like:  

• When carpets are not very dirty, they start looking dull.
• Only to remove large particles of soil.
• Clean a small area with detergent and hot water.

Method 3: Clean Stains 

Please clean the stains as soon as you find them on the carpets. Use a spoon to scrape the solid part carefully and a white towel to remove the stain.  Please remember that if the stain reacts chemically with the fibres, it would be harder to remove. That is why you need to be responsive and use a white towel or paper to remove it completely.  If you do not want to use detergent, you can remove it using clean water. Please press dry, white cloth and damp paper towel over the stain. Always blot from outer edge to center for the best result. This wet carpet drying method is also known as a spot solver.  

Method 4: Hire Professionals 

A truck-mounted machine is a good choice for steam cleaning. It comes with strong suction machines to leave your carpet dry quickly. Many carpet manufacturers suggest hot water extraction as the primary cleaning method, but steam cleaning is also a great way to eliminate the dirt out of the fibers.  If you do not have these machines, we will serve you.
