Never Walk on Damp Carpet
One tip about carpet shampooing …after you have shampooed with a wet shampoo solution, with a steam cleaner or a dry foam, you must be careful that you and others do not walk on the area until it is totally dry. Wet carpet will pick up soil faster than dry carpet and will also get flattened and matted. Even lightly damp carpets should not be walked on, not even by your pets. Select a day to use a carpet shampooer when most of the family will be away for several hours, or schedule to have professional carpet cleaners come while everyone is at work or school and that way it will have all day to dry. Try to schedule your carpet cleaning for spring or summer if at all possible or the driest times of the year to avoid mold and carpet decay.
Rug Cleaning with Carpet Shampoo
For smaller area rugs in your home you may find it best to wash them by hand or to toss them into a washing machine after applying spot cleaners to heavily soiled areas. There are also delicate carpet shampoo products that you can add to the wash to help eliminate odors that are specific to carpets. Regular laundry detergent may be fine, however you may want to add a bit of vinegar or a teeny capful of bleach to disinfect them. Always remember to shake or vacuum your rugs very well before washing or steam cleaning to avoid matting in the fibers. Also a good idea is to vacuum the rugs or carpet after the washing or cleaning to bring back their fluffiness. You can also sprinkle carpets with baking soda to help eliminate odors between cleanings. Just sprinkle the baking soda, allow it to sit a few hours and then vacuum it up again.
