Cleaning Your Own rug

Cleaning your own carpeting can be a great way to save money. If not done properly any way you can end up with quite a mess. This record will give you some tips on using a carpeting cleaning rental on your home's carpets.

The first thing you need to do is find a good carpeting cleaning machine. You can find them at most home revising and grocery stores. Look for one in good condition that isn't too beat up or old. The older the machine, the weaker the vacuum and water pump probably is. Find a engine in good condition and also purchase the carpeting cleaning shampoo that is sold with the machines. Do not even think about using dish soap or any other homemade concoction.

Wet-Dry Vacuums

The first step, once you get the engine home is to completely pre-vacuum your carpet. Do not overlook this step because soil is much easier to take off when it is dry. Go over the carpeting in several different directions, taking your time.

The next step is where I will differ from the directions on the carpeting cleaning machine. They commonly want you to fill the engine with a shampoo solution. This means that you are rinsing with the explication and you will leave a lot of residue. Instead, mix the cleaning explication in a isolate pump-up sprayer. You can find one gallon organery sprayers at any home revising store. Now spray the carpeting evenly with the cleaner. Do not over wet the carpet, spray the explication evenly and then let it dwell for 5 to 10 minutes. Dwell time will allow the explication to break down and suck up the soils.

Next, fill the carpeting cleaning engine with plain warm water. After letting the explication dwell, you will make a pass over the carpeting to rinse the cleaning explication out. If your carpeting is heavily soiled or you used a lot of cleaning solution, you may need to make two passes over the carpet. Your goal here is to take off as much of the cleaner as inherent in order to leave the least number of residue.

Finally it is time to dry your carpets. The quicker you get them dry, the less likely it is that spots will return and the less likely you are to get water marks. Turn your ceiling fans on and get out any portable fans you have and aim them at the carpet. If it is a nice dry day, open your windows or doors. The more airflow you get to your room the better.

Well, that's it. That's all there is to it. Just remember to take your time and do not take shortcuts. Consequent these uncomplicated steps and you can de facto clean your own carpet.
