How Clean Green Clean Your Carpets .True Professional Free Advise from a cleaning professional that has been in the business since 1977Step1 Start by dry vacuuming with a True HEPA filter that can extract and trap all the dirt, dust and allergens that may be in your carpet. Vacuum your traffic areas two to three times per week, move furniture once per month and vacuum under it. This will keep dust and dirt particles to a minimum and prevent dust from bonding to your carpet fibres. 80% of carpet cleaning consist of vacuuming. This helps keep it clean and stop the dust and dirt from cutting your carpet fibres and from being ground deep into the carpet fibres. Step2 Purchase a handheld pump air sprayer, like one you would use for gardening or pest control. This is what you can put your mixture of traffic lane carpet
cleaning solution and water in to spray onto your carpets for
cleaning. Most garden center in any department store carry several types of pump sparyers. Purchase a one gallon size as it will be suffifient for your needs.You don't need the 2 gallon size used by professionals as they are heavy for you to carry once it is full of water and cleaning solution. Step3
Purchase or rent a hot water extractor(commonly called steam extractor or a rug doctor from your local hardware or grocery store. Fill it with hot water only, do not use
the cleaning solutions that they suggest you use. Most ordinary carpet cleaning solutions are
filled with harsh chemicals and are soap ladden which does more damage than good.
It leaves a residue on your carpet which will actually attract dirt
faster than if you didn’t clean it at all. The reason you will need the rug doctor or steam extractor for is to rinse and extract the traffic lane cleaning solution. Step4

for soil conditions) in your pump sprayer. Use hot water, but if no hot water is available this products works just fine in cool or hard water. Step7
Spray the solution over your carpet one room at at time, allow it to dwell for 5 to 15 minutes.The dwell time allows the cleaning product to break up and emulsify the soil. You want it to be moiste damp not soaking wet Do not allow it to dry on the carpet or it will become difficult to remove and you will have to use more water and cleaning strokes to achieve proper resultsStep8
