Get Spring Fresh Carpets with these 5 Simple Steps
With Spring in full swing, many families will be looking for ways to revive their carpets after a very long and very dull winter. The dirt that has accumulated in your carpets during the wet, wintry season has more than likely left your carpets looking a little lacklustre, which is why we’re here to help with 5 simple steps towards getting fresh carpets for Spring. 1. Pre-inspect Before you begin Spring cleaning your carpets, it’s important to pre-inspect them to understand what you’re dealing with, and what you want the outcome to be. Whether its left over red wine stains from Christmas or your cream carpet has turned an unsightly shade of grey, you’ll need to identify these problems to be able to apply the next steps correctly. 2. Pre-vacuum Before your deep cleaning begins, we recommend removing any superficial dirt with a vacuuming session. Use a powerful vacuum cleaner to effectively suck up any hardened dirt or soil from your carpets. This way, you’ll be left with a more manageable surface. 3. At home cleaning treatments Did you know you can easily treat dirty carpets with at home treatments? For example, cornflour can be used to effortlessly remove grease or oil stains from carpets. For carpets that are emitting foul odours, baking soda is the answer. Just like the cornflour step, you can liberally sprinkle baking soda on the carpet before you vacuum. Let it sit for around 20 minutes before running a vacuum over it. The absorbent properties of baking soda will absorb the odours and leave your carpets smelling fresh and new. 4. Give your carpet a wash Now the tougher stains and odours have been removed, you can give your carpet a once over with a carpet washer. This will pick up any leftover pieces of dust and dirt trapped between carpet hairs and fibres to reveal a carpet that you can be proud of. We’ve got a great range of refurbished carpet washers for you to choose from, so the Spring fresh carpets you’ve always dreamt of aren’t that far out of reach! 5. The final step Phew! All the hard work is done. To leave your carpets looking spic and span, just ruin the vacuum cleaner round a final time. Are your arms and shoulders aching after all that carpet scrubbing? Make the final vacuuming session that bit easier by choosing a new, lightweight vacuum cleaner like one from our Vytronix range. Happy Spring cleaning everyone!
