How we do it......

There are several methods used, but the aim of all is the same; to remove as much, if not all, the accumulated dust, grit and general soiling as possible, Regular vacuuming is a fundamental part of housekeeping, but more specialised equipment and knowledge are required in order to clean properly. There are several cleaning methods, the choice depending on many factors, but mainly on the type of article, it's construction, age and condition, degree of soiling, it's location and the time available for the cleaning to be carried out. The most common methods are shampooing, hot water extraction (often inaccurately referred to as steam cleaning), and the use of impregnated compounds, which are brushed into the carpet and subsequently removed with a powerful vacuum cleaner.

This rinse procedure is applicable to all the above methods of stain removal. Simply mix one-part white vinegar and four-parts water. Pour mixture into a spray bottle and spray over the stained area. Blot dampened area (do not rub) to remove excess moisture. Spread white kitchen towel (stacked 6-8 sheets deep) over the affected area and place a weight, such as a book, directly on top. This will help moisture residue to soak into the towels. Leave overnight and repeat if necessary.
