There is no floor that is warmer and more pleasant to step on barefoot than carpet. However, although it is a pleasant and very comfortable floor in winter, cleaning the carpet can be a very tedious task if you do not have the cleaning machinery.\
Beware of these tips, they will also be very useful if you want to know how to clean carpets and keep them always perfect.
First step. Vacuums dust and dirt
The first thing we will have to do to clean the carpet in depth is to vacuum everything that has fallen on it, and also the dust that remains under it (this will be easier on small-sized carpets and rugs).
If it is a very large space, the ideal is to have professional vacuum cleaners, since they will get a better result and allow us to clean and vacuum much faster.
Try to vacuum the carpet at least once a week to make maintenance easier. In addition, this type of fabric requires a good, very regular cleaning to extend its useful life and not have to change it every so often.
We recommend Tennant V-CAN-16 16L Dry Vacuum cleaner.
Use carpet cleaning products
We always say that each type of floor requires specific cleaning products. Of course, this is even more important when cleaning carpets.
Carpet cleaning products will help you remove stains and traces of dirt that remain on them.
At SCS Group Cleaning Solution we have this soap to clean carpets, rugs, and vehicle upholstery. This carpet cleaner has surfactants with a high moisturizing and decreasing power.
We can use these carpet detergents for cleaning by hand and also for cleaning with specific machines. If you choose to clean by hand, after vacuuming the carpet, apply the product and rub it with a soft brush.
To finish, once it is dry or damp, vacuum again to remove the moisture completely and drag any dirt that may have come to the surface.
If you occasionally spill a liquid that you don’t think will leave a difficult stain on the carpet, you can use a damp cloth and a little vinegar.
Rub it well on it and let it dry. If the stain persists, rub it with the specific cleaning product.
In gum or candle wax stains, we advise you to cool the stain with the help of an ice pack and then gently clean it.

Here are some tips to keep the carpet clean and soft on the first day:
