How to Clean your Carpet

Our carpets are an investment, and it goes without saying that we want them to last for as long as possible. This can be tricky though, especially in high-traffic areas such as our living rooms and hallways. With so much footfall every day (often including the muddy shoes of little ones!) your carpets are hiding deep down dirt that vacuuming alone cannot remove.

How you clean your rug will depend on what it’s made of. To clean a rug made from carpet-like material simply use Vanish Carpet & Upholstery Foam in exactly the same way as you would with a normal carpet!

If your rug is made of another, more delicate material, such as brocade or velvet, you’ll need to act more carefully. Start by hoovering the rug on both sides to get rid of dust and debris, then spot clean the rug using a mild mixture of soapy water.
