Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Tips for Urban Dwellers
Published on Sunday, 28 March 2010
Living in an urban area means you have to deal with more dust and dirt inside your house and therefore your carpet. However, dealing with carpet cleaning in a big metropolitan city is totally different than dealing with it in the countryside. Carpet and upholstery cleaning in a big city requires a special care and persistent awareness to avoid health ailments cause by bad carpet cleaning. Here are some useful tips to keep your carpet and upholstery clean and glossy. 1. If possible, expose your carpets to open air every once in awhile. But if you live in a big city apartment building, it is better to steam clean your carpet and then vacuum it. To vacuum dust and airborne dust effectively, hold the vacuum cleaner about an inch high over your carpet. This way, indoor air from all corners of the room will rush into your vacuum. 2. Before rubbing any chemical solution to your upholstered furniture, read the label carefully. Some pieces of upholstered furniture made of vinyl and leather may react differently to shampoos and foams. 3. Pay close attention to the carpet cleaning machine you are using. Also consider the surface of the floor you are working on. If you hard wood floors make sure you use steam cleaners that are specially designed for hard wood floors to avoid deterioration. 4. Lastly, make sure you let the harmful fumes of cleaning chemicals escape. Some toxic compounds used in carpet cleaning products can cause eye irritation, dry mouth or extra salivation. If the ventilation can't be done by opening a window, use an exhaust system.
