Squeezing the trigger will release the valve in the head of the unit allowing the shampoo and water mixture to be applied to the foam roller. Using short overlapping strokes the mixture will be applied to the carpet or rug – DO NOT OVERWET the cleaning area. Releasing the trigger will stop the flow of shampoo/water mixture, although the roller will remain wet for a time afterwards. After use let the carpet or rug dry completely, then vacuum or use your carpet sweeper to remove the deposits lifted by the foam shampoo. It is advisable to test the carpet for colour fastness prior to use. To do this, mix a little of the foam shampoo and water to the specified dilution, apply to a clean cloth and then clean a small area of carpet, ideally one which is normally hidden from view.

A few elements factor into a carpet sweeper’s overall size, first of which is the width of the roll, or roller. The average carpet sweeper measures about 5.5 by 17.8 by 13 inches.

Carpet washing

Powder cleaners work fast on spot stains or more day-to-day dirt, with no need to dry out the carpet afterwards. Simply sprinkle on the powder, leave it for the specified time, then vacuum it up. The larger the dirt canister, the more area that can be cleaned in one sweep, which makes that type ideal for large homes. However, carpet sweepers with roomy canisters can be bulky and are more difficult to pivot around tight corners, in between cabinets, and under furniture. Easy maneuverability is one reason people buy carpet sweepers in the first place, so look for a model that strikes a happy medium between canister capacity and maneuverability. Sweeper Width Start by vacuuming the rug on both sides to remove any loose dirt. Next, you’ll need to test the colorfastness of the rug, by performing a spot test on the corner of the rug. If the cleaning solution doesn’t discolor the area, you can proceed with cleaning it by hand. Mix the ingredients in a small bowl. Dip a sponge or brush into the solution and begin to scrub the rug. Allow the mixture to sit on the rug for several minutes. Unlike bulky, heavy vacuums, carpet sweepers generally weigh less than 5 pounds because they don’t have motors. Some models weigh as little as 2 pounds.
