Instructions


Clear the carpet of all the furniture. This will allow you to effectively clean the carpet without any obstacles. Also most of the dust, debris and mites in the carpet lie under the furniture. If you steam clean only a part of the carpet, then the un-steamed areas of the carpet will become more visible because of the contrast between the clean and un-cleaned areas of the carpet.

Before starting the process of steam cleaning, vacuum the entire carpet so that the larger dirt particles and debris are removed. This will also prevent the bristles of the steam cleaner from getting clogged by the debris.

Now, take some carpet cleaning solution in a measuring cup and pour a little bit of it in the stained and soiled areas of the carpet.

Take one cup of the carpet cleaning solution and pour it in the container of the steam cleaner. Then fill the container with the hot water.

Plug the extension cord of the steam cleaner in a power outlet. Start the steam cleaner and work across the carpet in a set pattern like moving out from the center to the outwards, or in straight lines.

You should move the cleaner forward and then bring it back so that you do not leave any part unclean. You must also take care that you do not saturate the carpet with too much steam. To avoid this, keep the steam cleaner moving across it.

Once the entire carpet is steam cleaned, leave it to dry. To make the carpet dry faster, you can turn on the fan or leave the windows open. Do not walk on the carpet unless it is thoroughly dry. To test if the carpet has dried thoroughly, press your palm lightly into the carpet. If you don’t feel any dampness and your palm also stays dry, then the carpet can be used.
