It’s that time of the year again when cleaning your carpets can be tricky. It’s important to know the most common mistakes to avoid them and get your carpets looking as good as new in no time. Let’s look at some of the most common mistakes when cleaning their carpets.

The Wrong Type of Cleaner/Solution Used

Using the wrong type of cleaner or solution on your carpet can have devastating results. For example, you cannot use harsh chemicals such as bleach on wool carpets as this will damage the fibers, making them weaker and more prone to damage.

To ensure that you are using the right type of cleaner or solution, read the label carefully before starting any cleaning job.

Additionally, if you are in a situation where you don’t know which cleaner is suitable for your carpet, it is best to err on the side of caution by opting for a cleaning solution designed specifically for carpets.

Not Enough Vacuuming Before Cleaning

It’s easy to skip vacuuming before cleaning your carpet, but it’s an important step in getting your carpets looking great again.

Vacuuming will remove any dirt or debris from deep within the fibers of your carpet, which will help make it easier for you to clean and maintain it.

Make sure to vacuum thoroughly before starting any cleaning job, and always empty out the vacuum bag after each session so that dirt doesn’t get re-deposited into the carpet.

Using Too Much Water & Solution When Cleaning Your Carpet

Many people think that using more water and solution will result in better cleanliness, but this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Using too much water or solution can cause more harm than good – excess water can penetrate deep into your carpet, resulting in mold growth and weakened fibers, while too much solution can leave behind residue which attracts dirt particles over time – not ideal.

To avoid these issues, use just enough water (or steam) and a solution to cover the soiled area without saturating. Also, make sure to blot up any spills immediately rather than scrubbing them with excess liquid.

Conclusion

Now that we’ve discussed some of the most common carpet cleaning mistakes that people often make, it should be easier to steer clear of them the next time you tackle a dirty rug or floor covering.

Remember – always check labels carefully before using cleaners or solutions on carpets; vacuum thoroughly before starting any job and use just enough liquid (water/solution) when cleaning without saturating it too much.
