Texture and materials determine the feeling of a carpet; but also the extent to which dirt and germs adhere to it. As we all know, our carpet is so prone to stains. Carpet get stains often times since it is exposed to people as it is on the floor which we are walking on every day.

Our carpet can get lots of stains if we have kids. You know, kids always want to play. And they are not that aware of what they are doing. Sometimes they are eating foods and then throw it wherever. So, our carpet then gets stains. The more it is exposed to usage, the greater chances for our carpet to accumulate stains from different kinds of carpet stain sources.
Either made of natural or synthetic fibres, carpets come in a variety of textures and materials. Cleaning always depends on the nature of the materials being treated. Professional cleaners, for instance, know that carpet manufacturers use several types of fibres and that each type poses different cleaning challenges. Most people, however, cannot differentiate nylon from acrylic or polypropylene fibres. Most carpets, for example, consist of at least two layers: a bottom sheet holds in place an upper stratum of knotted, woven or tufted fibres. Applying a heat treatment, manufacturers ensure that the fibres will retain their shape.
Most importantly, avoid buying white or light coloured carpeting if you can. Darker colours show stains less frequently, and are typically easier to clean. Similarly, hardwood and laminate floors are preventative methods for avoiding stains.
Manufacturers choose fibres for economic and aesthetic reasons and take into account ease of dyeing, durability, resistance and costs. Natural fibres (long strands of material that can be found in plants and animals), for example, can be easily dyed, although generally more expensive than synthetic materials.
Carpet cleaners also must take into account the neutralising effect of some bactericides and anti-static products. These chemicals have positive charge; if applied to a nylon carpet, they will only make it more prone to staining.

Should you clean it yourself or hire professional janitorial services? As you can see, carpet cleaning is more complicated than it seems. If you need to clean a large area carpet, first find out what materials it is made. Then, pick the right detergent solution and use adequate rinse procedure.

However, if you have no idea of the type of fibres or if you feel unsure about the adequate products, call a professional cleaning company.
So before you get into a sticky situation with your carpet, remember that it could have been avoided. Staying on the defensive is the best type of action you can take to keep your home clean and smelling wonderful.
Carpet Protection
If you are prone to stains in your home or have light coloured carpeting, there are benefits to carpet stain protection. If you find one that's effective and long lasting, when your child spills grape juice on your beige carpet, you're covered. This is because these protectors are resistant to dyes. Many of these products come with a warranty, giving you insurance in case the product doesn't work. These products can be used on rugs, carpets or auto upholstery, making it a versatile product that can really come in handy if you have pets or children. Another benefit of these protectors is that you have more time to clean a spill when it occurs because it won't immediately bleed into the carpet.
Having carpet stain protection doesn't mean that you can ignore spills and stains. You still have to remove the product just as you would on an untreated carpet. This includes blotting the stain to remove excess spillage and not rubbing the spill into the carpet. Wool carpets will require a special carpet stain protector. Protectors should be reapplied after each carpet cleaning, which is recommended to occur annually.

Carpet odour causes can be as obvious as pet stains and as subtle as the grease laden steam coming from your kitchen. They all invite bacterial infestation that leads to a smelly carpet.

Carpet odour causes may be inevitable, but the process that perpetuates nasty smells can be controlled with a regular carpet cleaning and maintenance routine.

Mildew is the hardest carpet odour to clean. Mildew develops when water stains or floods the carpeted area. A mildewed carpet typically smells like moulded fabric. This type of stain requires a heavy cleaning and drying process. Once the carpet becomes mildewed, it may be impossible to remove the stains and smells from the underlying padding.

Household pets are a leading cause of carpet odour. This can typically be attributed to the pet hair, urine, and dirt the animals bring into the home. Several cleaners can remove pet smells from carpets, and it is important to clean the soiled area as quickly as possible. This will limit the long-term damage to the carpet.

Tobacco smoke is another common cause of carpet odour. When a person smokes in a building, the smell of the smoke is trapped and causes the walls, draperies, and carpet to smell of smoke. This smell can be easily removed with a simple carpet-cleaning product.

Most of the problem is still present with the spilled material dried out but remaining in the carpet fibres. Now, here is why some lightly smelly carpet smell a lot worse after proper cleaning. Sometimes deep dusting and properly washing rugs doesn't remove old, inactive and dormant bacteria that are anchored to fibres. Adding water during washing process provides the opportunity for an explosion in growth of these bacteria, lots of gases being released and therefore lots of odours, more than prior to cleaning.

Dirt and motor oil can make a carpet the smell like petroleum. This smell is difficult to remove and often requires the replacement of the carpet and underlying pad. Dirty motor oil can permanently stain carpet and cause a foul gas smell. This odour will smell similar to the odour often found in car service stations.

Beer and alcohol can cause carpet to smell like a hospital. This is a difficult odour to remove from carpet and padding. If large amounts of beer or alcohol are spilled onto a carpet, it should be cleaned with a steam cleaner to ensure the stain is removed from the padding and carpet.
​
Old carpet has an odour similar to old rotting clothing. This dusty smell happens when the fabric in the carpet begins to break up and deteriorate. It usually is not possible to clean carpet odour out of old carpet, so typically, carpet that smells like this must be replaced. This type of carpet can cause excess dust in a home, which may lead to allergies.

The main cause of carpet shrinkage resulting from carpet washing in the past was the prolonged exposure of the flooring to liquid. Some businesses didn't realise the importance of drying the carpet after washing.

When carpets were made of lots of natural fibres, shrinking was a major concern. Today most carpets are made of synthetic materials, reducing the risk of shrinking to almost nothing. It's always a good idea to know your carpet type and the manufacturer's instructions for it.

It's true that in the past there was a problem with carpets shrinking after cleaning. This was primarily because the carpet was "over wetted" by the carpet cleaner.

Majority of modern carpets are built either partially or, often, entirely, from ‘composite' or synthetic fibres. These have specially-developed qualities which deliberately prevent shrinkage in a way which natural, untreated fibres of the past were unable to match. Synthetic carpet fibres and backing are impervious to water.

Are you concerned that in striving to achieve a glorious, gleaming carpet you may end up doing more harm than good? Worried that your carpet might even shrink?

When using your carpet washer, to avoid saturating your carpet you should use a maximum of 4 ‘wet' strokes for each area that you are cleaning. Always alternate ‘wet' strokes with ‘dry' strokes and finish by passing several more ‘dry' strokes over the area.

To collect the largest quantity of dirty water possible, and to minimise the subsequent drying time of your carpet, try to push and pull your unit at about half the speed you would an upright vacuum cleaner on the ‘dry' strokes. Steady, careful application also gives the best cleaning results, ensuring stubborn dirt and stains are removed. It's a real life example where the tortoise beats the hare.

Of course, that's not to say common sense shouldn't play a part too. Always test your carpet washer in a discreet area when first operating it, if nothing more than to get a feel for how it works. If you have lingering concerns, any reputable flooring manufacturer will be able to provide advice and guidelines about the tolerances and suitability for washing of your specific type of carpet.

One thing that could cause minimal shrinkage would be an overly wet carpet after your technician is finished cleaning. Reputable companies and technicians don't allow this to happen. Even so, it's a good idea to check your carpet's wetness before the tech leaves your home. Express concerns if you have them. And be sure to hire a reputable company to clean your carpets.

Bottom Line: For most carpets, the risk of shrinking is almost nothing. Hiring a reputable company makes all the difference in your satisfaction.
Using the current technology this is no longer a problem. We have special jets that restrict the amount of water we spray into the carpet ensuring that the backing of the carpet remains dry. This ensures that the carpet stays in its original shape and size. We also dry the carpet as part of the process of removing the soil and stains from your carpet.

While it may seem like a disaster if any red wine is spilled on a carpet, red wine stains of a carpet can be treated, especially if it is possible to act quickly. It is possible to remove the red wine stains from the carpet and continue to use it without any unsightly marks.

Although other forms of drink including wine, beer, fruit juices, etc can be bad, red wine stains on carpets and clothes are the nightmare for the host and hostess. The red wine on the carpet, tablecloth or clothes can not only leave an unsightly blue - purple stain, but it can also give off a pungent smell. As a result, it is necessary to take some timely action to remove the stain before it becomes locked in.

Either way, spilled red wine usually creates panic, as red wine stains are notorious for hanging around for life. Or until you throw out the stained item.

The most important rule for removing red wine stains is to do it immediately! No other stains sets so stubbornly and hangs on for dear life more than red wine. You have a much higher success rate at removing the stain completely if you attempt to remove the red wine stain as soon as it occurs.One extra tip about red wine stain removal: If you have a wet vac, keep it handy. This can save your carpet, even your clothing, from red wine stains easily if you use it quickly enough!

There are a number of ways in which a red wine stain can be removed from a carpet:

Using white wine:   One effective way in which you can remove the red wine stains from a carpet is to pour white wine onto it - be careful not to use too much as it may soak the carpet and could cause some shrinkage. Then leave the wine a few moments and start to rinse everything away using a little water. Then remove as much water as possible using either paper of ordinary towels. It is best to work from the outside of the stain inwards. Also be careful not to "scrub" the carpet as this will show up later.

Using salt:   Another recognised method for removing red wine stains from a carpet is to use salt. The trick is to pour plenty of salt onto the affected area and then allow the salt to soak up the red wine stain. It is often best to leave the salt until it dries as brushing too soon may just allow some of the salt to enter the carpet and the stain to remain.
​
So time and blotting are what should be uppermost in your mind when you go about the task of removing red wine stains from your carpet. Maybe we should add a third rule: be calm, don't get mad at the child or adult who accidentally knocked over that glass! Red wine stains don't justify replacing the carpet because there are effective ways of getting rid of these stains.

Sometimes the use of hydrogen peroxide has been suggested. This substance is a powerful oxidising agent or bleach, and while it may remove the colour of the wine, it may also remove the colour from the carpet leaving an equally unsightly mark. When using hydrogen peroxide you have to be careful, as it can in some rare cases bleach the colour from a carpet. That is why you only want to apply a small amount and let it settle in order to see how it reacts to both the stain and the colour in your carpet's fibres.

You may be well aware that there are cleaning service companies which take up carpet cleaning as a service too. However, did you know that you can get that same spotless, brand new look for your carpet by cleaning it yourself? Yes, that's right. You can simply hire yourself a carpet cleaning machine from a hardware or home improvement store and go ahead with the cleaning.

Let us see the step by step instructions for the process, in the section below.

Step # 1: Needless to say, the very first step that you need to take is get yourself the appropriate carpet cleaner. You can mention the type of carpet that you have and the store will give you the appropriate machine. Also, they may or may not provide you with a cleaning solution or shampoo for the machine. Again, you need to use one that will agree with the carpet in your home.

Step # 2: Next step, get home and get ready to clean the carpet by moving out all the furniture and accessories from the room that you intend to clean. As mentioned earlier, this process could take all day. So, keep the furniture in a convenient location. If you cannot move the furniture, you may want to consider at least covering its legs with plastic wrap to avoid staining.
​
Step # 3: After you're ready with the empty room, you may or may not want to vacuum the carpet to get rid of the dust and other loose particles. Then you can proceed to using the carpet cleaning machine.

Step # 4: Before you do the entire room, it is advisable to test the cleaner on a patch. So, fill the dispenser on the cleaner with the solution given to you, after reading the instructions regarding the quantities very carefully. Pay good attention to the quantities as a little miscalculation could lead to disastrous results like your carpet getting bleached!

Step # 5: After filling the dispenser, gently press the lever which will allow the solution to get sprayed onto the carpet. Once you've sprayed enough on the patch, you can let go of the lever and simply run the machine vertically towards you over the area that you sprayed about 10 times. The machine will assimilate as much of the dirt and gunk that it can, thanks to the solution which loosened them up. Let the patch dry for a while. After it has dried, if you see that your carpet looks and feels fine, you can proceed with the rest of the room.

Step # 6: If your carpet has a lot of very rigid stains on it, then you may even consider using a stronger cleaning solution, prior to using the shampoo/solution in the machine. However, make sure that it is well dried before you use the cleaning machine because it is possible that the two solutions may react and result in an unpleasant blotch on your carpet.

When using a carpet cleaning machine, remember to use it in one direction only. Either vertically or horizontally. Random directions can look very ugly after the carpet dries up. After you're done using the machine, make sure that the room is properly ventilated so that the carpet dries up faster.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by keeping your carpet clean, don't worry, you are not alone. Millions of people all over the world are simply uneducated on the proper way to prevent colour fading and carpet cleaning. With all the stains that could possibly dirty up your carpet, it begs the question: does carpet cleaning fade carpet colour?

Just like any coloured fabric, carpet can fade and lose its colour if not properly cared for. With the broad range of chemicals available to clean carpets it is not uncommon for a carpet to be subject to colour loss. And the common culprit for colour fading is often times bleaching agents. Many household items contain these chemicals. Perfumes, aerosol sprays, laundry detergents even pesticides. If there is a chance for it can get on the bottom of your shoe then it's probably in your carpet too.

Keeping your carpet clean, fresh, and true to its original colour usually takes work. When it comes to carpet cleaning the square footage of any home can seem like a pretty daunting task. In fact, most people don't even recognise the cushy layer of fabric that covers their floors until there is a major blemish. Even if you have the most amazing maid services, many times a proper cleaning falls by the wayside.

A possible alternative to using damaging chemicals is to find natural, or home-made, carpet cleaners. These can often decrease damage to your carpet's fibres, extending the life of your carpet.

Here are a few things you can do to prevent colour loss in your carpet.

1. KEEP OUT THE SUN! – We all love bright, sunny rooms. But the same sun beams the make us feel so good also have the ability to strip colour from carpet.  So when you're not in a room, be sure to pull the shades to block out these damaging UV rays.

2. KEEP HANDS & FEET CLEAN! – You may not realise it, but the chemicals and products you handle regularly can inadvertently cause colour loss in your carpet. Bleach, acne medication and facial cream, and even athlete's foot medication can strip the colour from your carpet. So make sure to wash your hands regularly and wear socks whenever possible.

3. TREAT PET STAINS IMMEDIATELY! – We love our pets, but the do have accidents at times. If this happens, clean it up as quickly as possible. Pet urine is potent stuff and has the ability to remove colour from carpet and fabrics.

4. CALL CARPET CLEANING PROFESSIONALS! – Many colour loss areas on carpet are due to the improper use of consumer carpet spotting products. Unfortunately, these products are designed for ‘instant gratification'. But they can also chemically burn or destroy carpet fibres in the process of removing a spot.  They also have the tendency to chemically set spots, turning them into permanent stains.

So when faces with tricky spots and stains, you're much better off to call the professionals who have the expertise and spot treating products to save your carpet and help it keep it's colour!

If it is your wish to keep your rugs looking nice, clean, and new there are a few carpet cleaning tips and techniques that will make this possible. While stain cleaners and odour eliminators are quite popular and can be highly effective at their functions, if they are not used absolutely correctly they can cause more harm than good for your carpet.
 
By far, the very best tip for prolonging the life and beauty of your rugs and carpets is to vacuum them thoroughly and regularly (at least once if not more each week). In order to properly clean your carpets you need to slowly pass a high-powered vacuum cleaner over your carpets. Passing too quickly can result in your carpets not actually being cleaned.

Divide your carpet into quarters and clean one section at a time. You should pass over each section of floor at least once in two directions for the most effective cleaning. By doing this you will be much more likely to remove all the dirt, which left unattended can actually damage the fibres of your carpet.

Using soap based cleaners or too much water when removing stains from your carpet can actually create new stains rather than removing existing stains. Unfortunately, some of these cleaners will remain even after they dry, which allows them to potentially damage the floor even further. Damage can be caused when the soap remaining in the carpet removes the dirt from your shoes.
​
In addition, liquid cleaners can actually pull the dirt deeper into the carpet rather than removing it all together. While the stain seems to be gone, it is actually underneath the surface of the carpet.

You should immediately blot liquid spills with a towel in order to remove as much excess liquid from your carpet as possible. If you do not get these spills immediately they could become soaked into the bottom of your carpeting.

If you have pets, be especially aware of the damage their urine can cause to delicate carpet fibres. Use a mixture of 1-quart water, 1 tsp. vinegar, and 1 tsp. of mild detergent in order to attempt to eliminate stains that may be the result of pet urine.

It is important that you blot the stains on your carpet rather than rubbing them as rubbing carpet stains may actually drive them deeper into the carpet rather than lifting them from the carpet. Also be sure that you are using a clean towel in order to avoid the risk of introducing additional stains to your carpeting.

Carpets get soiled not in a day. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays, moisture and water make it spoiled. A gradual process of accumulated dust and debris make it dirty. Often home spills like tea, coffee and juice and kitchen fats in the air can be a cause of soiled carpet. Children and pets in the home also contribute to it many times. This is a big reason for premature wearing down of carpet as well. 

The remedy is to take care of the carpet. There are many types of carpet available. So the cleaning technique for the carpets is also different. A professional acre once in a year is highly recommended for the deep cleaning of the soiled carpet. 

Attempting a manual process of cleaning is not suggestible. It won’t work. Rather the consequences can be fatal. You may end up with damaging the carpet and your hands as well.
 
Among different methods of carpet cleaning, both steam carpet cleaning and dry carpet cleaning are widely used for all kinds of carpet. Both the process has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Let’s have a look when we need steam carpet cleaning and when we require dry carpet cleaning. It should be as per the need of your carpeting requirement. Always take the assistance of a reputed carpet cleaning service provider for carpet cleaning and carpet stain removal tasks. 

Dry Carpet Cleaning:

Dry Carpet Cleaning is one of the most demanded and safe carpet cleaning methods. Here an active cleaning solution is used to clean the carpet. In this carbonating cleaning method, no harmful soaps or detergents are used for cleaning the carpet. That is the reason you won’t find any sticky residue at the end of your cleaning task. No much water is required for dry carpet cleaning. Pressure application in the process is low so there won’t be any harm to the fibre of the carpet. As the quantity of water used in dry carpet cleaning is less, may be 1-2 hours is enough to dry the carpet well. 
​
Steam Carpet Cleaning:

Steam cleaning removes dust mites and deep-seated mould that a vacuum just can't reach and in the process extends the life of your carpet by removing abrasive grit that degrades carpet fibres. The process commonly known as steam cleaning doesn't involve steam at all, unless you count the small amount that rises from the top of the water in the tank. "Steam" cleaners shoot a jet of hot water and carpet shampoo onto your rug and then vacuum it back up.

Steam is a naturally powerful cleaning force that leaves no toxic residue on surfaces, and does not discolour clothing. Even emitted at a low pressure, the heat of steam alone is able to rid your home of unseen allergens and bacteria as well as visible dirt and grease. Steam cleaners can be used virtually anywhere in your home or workplace, garden, car or caravan for a wide variety of tasks, especially end of tenancy cleaning services. Steam cleaning is suitable for all types of carpet, including woven, needle-felt, knotted, tufted, flat-weave carpets etc.

In spite of your best efforts to ensure that your house is sparkling clean, your carpets tend to become a victim of spills, drops, accidents or whatever may be at the bottom of your feet. This is exactly why they need to be cleaned regularly and by professionals. The following are the top 10 secrets used by experts to keep your carpet looking new and tidy, every time:
​

• Don’t rub stains, blot them – stains should be dabbed using a cleaning solution and a sponge, paper towels or a clean cloth. The key here is blotting, where you put little pressure on stains to soak them up. Rubbing stains can cause premature breakdown of carpet fibres. When blotting, ensure that you soak the stain inwards, otherwise, you will spread the stain.
• The club soda process – NOTE, this process, when done correctly, is effective against wine and beer stains. When you spill soda on your carpet, and you have tried blotting and it doesn’t work, well, don’t panic, spray a solution of white vinegar and water on the stain and then wait for 10 to 15 minutes for it to soak in. then, blot the stained area again using a sponge or a clean piece of cloth to soak the stain and the solution. Repeat this process remove the stain completely. After the stain is gone, rinse the spot using warm water, brush the carpet strands to their natural direction using your hand, and finally lay a paper towel over the spot to absorb the dampness off of the carpet
• Try shaving cream – the shaving cream can remove almost any stain. If you have a stain in your carpet, apply the cream on the stain and wait for about 30 minutes. Then, blot the cream away using a dry sponge or cloth. After doing this, spray the spot with a solution of vinegar and water and then wipe the solution away with a sponge.
• Freeze-dried gum – when a chewing gum gets stuck in your carpet, it can be gross and messy, right? Well, if this happens, getting it out is pretty easy. Just head to your freezer and take several ice cubes, freeze the gum using the cubes for about 30 seconds. After it’s frozen, use a spoon to lift the gum up, and if still stuck to the carpet strands, cut the strands as close to the gum as humanly possible. If you do it correctly, the spot will be clean and will be unnoticeable.
• Dishwasher detergent vs. grease – grease stains on your carpet are the worst as they are difficult to remove. However, the best method to clean them is by use of an anti-grease dishwashing detergent, which cuts through the grease stain in your carpet the same way it does on your dishes. Spray the solution of this detergent on the stain and then blot it up. You may require to repeat this several times depending on the size of the stain.
• Heat wax – as we all know, burning candles can result in wax dripping on your carpet. Where it is embedded quickly since it dries fast. When this happens, heat the wax again using an iron. Cover your iron with a white piece of cloth and then place it on top of the wax stain to heat it up. Then scrape the melted wax off your carpet using a butter knife. After doing this, then place a paper towel over the wax stain, and place your iron over the towel. This towel absorbs the melting wax, and after a few more applications, the wax would be completely gone. NOTE: don’t use your iron this way for long as you risk burning your carpet, and also, ensure you don’t use coloured clothes and towels as you will transfer the colour to your carpet, especially if it’s light-coloured.
• Using Hydrogen peroxide – after suffering a cut on your finger, and then notice later that you dripped a little blood on your carpet, hydrogen peroxide is what you need to get your carpet looking as good as previously was. First, you will clean the stain with water and detergents, to loosen up the dried blood. Then try to scrape off as much blood as you possibly can from the carpet fibres. After that, apply hydrogen peroxide on whatever remains of the stain – this solution will foam as soon it gets in contact with the blood. Finally, dab the solution with towels or sponge to dry the carpet.
• Clean any messes caused by pets organically – when your pet messes your carpets, you should use organic cleaners, instead of using chemicals. Just spray the cleaner on the stains, scrub, and then wipe the cleaner with a towel or a piece of cloth. These cleaners are very effective when it comes to cleaning coffee or sauces messes off your carpet.
• Candy crushed – also, with kids in your house, it’s only a matter of time before they mess your carpet with candy. When this happens, use a butter knife or a spotter brush to scrub the messed candy off. Then, apply water and soap using a sponge onto the stain, which will ensure that you get all the sugar off your carpet. Once all the candy is gone, dry the carpet area with a towel or a white piece of cloth.
• Deep-clean regularly – it is for a fact that cleaning your carpet regularly is key to keeping it looking new and fresh. For this particular reason, always consider steam-cleaning it, which involves applying a cleaning solution deep into the carpet through water-jet nozzles. The machine will then absorb the solution off of the carpet along with the debris and dirt. When you deep-clean your carpet, you allow water to penetrate deep into the carpet fibre thus loosening up any embedded soil. It also removes grease and oil deposits thereby getting your carpet looking cleaner, even more than it has ever been.

So generally, if you are to follow these cleaning tips to the letter, there is no reason why you will ever have a problem keeping your carpets clean and tidy at all times.
