How to Use an Eco-Friendly Carpet Cleaner

With the concerns over the environment and the use of harsh chemicals, more and more families are replacing their regular carpet cleaners with eco-friendly ones. There are a number of different products available that can be used along with your steam cleaning system to break loose that ground in dirt and clean your carpets without polluting the air.

These products are designed to work on different types of materials used for carpets such as wool and synthetic materials. Therefore, check the labels before purchasing them to learn which type of materials they're recommended for. This will ensure that you choose the best eco-friendly product for the type of carpet you have.

How to Use Eco-Friendly Carpet Cleaners

Using a steam cleaning system on your carpets is the best way to reach the ground in dirt that needs to be removed in order for your carpets to be clean. The combination of the hot water, suction and eco-friendly carpet cleaner will work the dirt loose and clean your carpets without the use of harsh chemicals.

To use these products, simply measure out the suggested amount to use and place the cleaner in your steam cleaning system the same way you would use manufactures suggested products. Of course, be aware of the manufactures warning regarding using products not recommended by the company who made the system.

If you're using a spot remover for carpets, spray it on the area and follow the directions on the label. Some products work best when left to soak for awhile before going over them with the steam cleaner. If it's a tough stain, you may need to scrub the area or repeat the process a couple of times.

Homemade Eco-Friendly Cleaners

Two eco-friendly homemade cleaners used for carpets are vinegar and baking soda. You use the vinegar in your steam cleaning system to clean the entire carpet in a natural way that won't harm the environment. The baking soda is used to help break up tough stains. Simply apply to the stain and use a brush to scrub and break up the dirt, then steam clean.
