Cleaning Tips
Cleaning carpet is never that easy especially if the stain is cause by blood, red wine, lipstick or crayons. But as a father of an active four year old I have experienced these carpet disaster and I know just how you feel when we saw our brand new carpet being made into a blackboard by our toddlers. But ever heard of the cliche “there is always a solution to everything” and here are the quick solutions that we need for carpet cleaning with stubborn stains.
For those stained with blood simply spray a solution of bleach and detergent directly onto the stain and let the carpet absorb for a couple of seconds before brushing it with a soft bristled brush. This is also applicable to the red wine stain. But for those trickier stains like lipstick and crayons we may need to apply directly a small amount of bleach onto the stain and rub it with a soft cloth do it again until stain disappears if we have a colored carpet use the bleach that is intended for coloured clothes or items. For the crayons, pour or spray a very hot water onto the spot and brush with a soft bristled brush or rub with a cloth. Then follow up with a spray of detergent and bleach this will definitely solve our carpet worries away. Here also the other tips that we can use.

HOW YOU BE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY WHEN CLEANING CARPET
The carpet keeps the air free of allergens and pollutants when properly vacuumed and maintained. Gravity causes common household particles fall to the floor and carpet fibers trap the particles, reducing their continued circulation in the air. Regular vacuuming with a Carpet Rug Institute-certified vacuum cleaner locks pollutants in the machine and removes them from the air we breathe.
CARPET SWEEPERS
A carpet sweeper is a mechanical cleaning device and it was used before the invention of Vaccum cleaner. Carpets sweepers would frequently have a height adjustment that enabled them to work on different lengths of carpet, or carpetless floors. It is pushed along the carpet using the handle, forcing the rollers and brushes to rotate. The brushes sweep the dirt and dust from the carpet and transfer them to the container.
The carpet sweeper was reinvented at the beginning of the 21st century, and fitted with an electric motor to spin the rollers and brushes. The device was rechargeable. For those doing the regular cleaning of carpet we may use a vacuum or a broom stick made of plastic and sweep starting from the base to the bottom.
