4 Tips for Cleaning Carpets

Sometimes it can be really hard to keep carpets clean. At home, the dogs, the kids and who knows what else trudge in a huge amount of mess. In the office, everyone walks in with mess from outside or the factory, workshop or warehouse. A simple little vacuum is not going to be able to keep things neat and tidy.

 Blendwell Chemicals manufactures a range of cleaning products designed specifically for cleaning carpets when you need some extra cleaning.

• First things first, try to stop dirt at the door. Have a door mat for people to wipe their feet on before entering. I have not yet been able to train my dogs to do this but small children can be taught. Make a game out of it and sing a silly song while you do it to get them in the habit.
• Always do a spot test on a piece of carpet that can be covered and is unobtrusive. You want to make sure that this is the right cleaning product for your carpet and a spot test is the best way to do this.
• Choose the right cleaning product for you. If you have a carpet cleaning machine, you will need a low foaming cleaning product. If you are cleaning by hand, you will need a high foaming product.
• Maintain your carpets between big cleaning sessions but vacuuming regularly and cleaning up spills immediately.

You’ll be able to keep your carpets looking new and fresh by following these tips. For more information on carpet cleaning products, please visit www.blendwell.co.za/Carpet_Cleaning. Blendwell Chemicals manufactures all their wholsale cleaning products at their factory in Midrand.
