How To: Clean Carpets
Cleaning carpets can be tricky at times, sometimes the best solution is that, as soon as something drops at your precious carpet, especially liquids, you must clean and wipe it right away before it dries up and stains it. During the course of time, and with the foot traffic it had endured, carpets tend to fade or its color become dull. You’re now tasked with cleaning it all together, and would rather do it than buy a new one. Below are the best steps on how to clean carpets, removing stains and restoring it to its former glory.

How to clean carpets
- Vacuum the carpet, remove all dusts and debris
- Prepare your shampoo solution (commercially bought) or 1 part all-purpose solution with 5 parts water
- With a sponge (scotch brite), mix your shampoo solution to make foam/suds
- Using the sponge, scoop out the foam/suds and apply on carpet (to avoid over wetting the carpet which causes foul smell)
