A beautiful carpet can become the focal point of your living area or help you increase your bedroom’s cosiness. But you must keep it neat and clean to reap all the benefits of a plush carpet. Though we all know how to clean a rug, homeowners often do not take it seriously and make costly mistakes.

In this blog, we will discuss the most common carpet cleaning mistakes and how to avoid them with the help of experts in South Wales.

Carpet Cleaning Errors You Must Avoid

1. Trying Solely the DIY Carpet Cleaning Method

You can use your domestic vacuum cleaner to keep your rugs clean and dust-free. But there are other ways to clean the carpet floor of your entire house. You must consider hiring a professional carpet cleaning service to complete the job correctly and receive a satisfactory result.

2. Leaving Spills Untreated for Longer Time

Spills on carpets and upholsteries are regular, incredibly if your home is blessed with four-legged friends and kids. But leaving those spills on rugs untreated for extended periods can cause severe damage to your carpets and upholsteries. Hence, you should use soft dry cotton towels to soak or wipe the spills immediately from the carpet. This will prevent the marks from seeping inside the fibres, and the stubborn stains can be avoided too.

3. Using Harmful Chemicals

While applying DIY methods, using harmful chemicals or cheap powder deodorisers can cause significant damage to your carpets over time. These methods may look straightforward and lucrative, but they are incredibly corrosive, and you must avoid using all harmful carpet cleaning products. Get advice from your carpet fitter or supplier about the best cleaning products to regularly clean your rugs.

4. Over Scrubbing

Some stains look stubborn and make your life miserable. Nonetheless, you should refrain from using the over-scrubbing method to eliminate those nasty spots on your carpets. Over-scrubbing will damage the fibres, and eventually, your carpet will lose its shine and elegance. The colour will fade away, and that spot will look dull. Use a gentle scrubbing method to avoid such damage.
