Clean Carpets Like a Pro
-
Clean your vacuum for max suction
Ensure your vacuum cleaner is in working order before you start. Empty the bag and remove debris from the head to get maximum suction. -
The sweet smell of spring
Give your carpet a fresh smell with some deodorizer. Sprinkle liberally around the room and leave for at least 30 minutes. -
Fluff lifeless carpet with ice
Rejuvenate lifeless sections of your carpet with ice cubes. Placing small blocks of ice in any dents will help fluff it up again. -
Don’t ignore your furniture
Use your vacuum's attachments to remove dust from possibly neglected areas like chairs, tables, and pictures. -
Vacuum from the far corner
Finish each room by vacuuming from the far corner to the door. Working in this way will stop you from cleaning yourself into a corner.
