Carpets harbour dirt, dust, and allergens that accumulate over time, impacting the cleanliness of your home and the quality of the air you breathe. That’s why you should deep clean your carpets regularly. Not only does it enhance their appearance, but it also contributes to a healthier living environment.  

 

In this guide, we’ll walk you through essential carpet cleaning techniques and introduce you to Ewbank’s expert floorcare solutions, ensuring your carpets stay spotless. 

Preparing for a deep clean

Before you begin deep cleaning, a little preparation goes a long way: 

 

  • Clear the space: Move furniture aside where possible to allow better access and an even clean across your carpet. 
  • Check carpet care instructions: Different carpet types require specific care, so always check the manufacturer’s recommendations before using any cleaning products. 
  • Gather essential tools: Ensure you have everything you need, such as a vacuum cleaner, carpet cleaner, and stain remover for targeted treatment.  

The power of vacuuming

The first and most important step in deep cleaning is vacuuming. A thorough vacuum removes surface dirt and debris, preventing it from turning into embedded grime. Follow these best practices for the best results: 

 

  • Use Ewbank’s AIRDASH 2-in-1 Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner for powerful suction that reaches deep into the fibres, removing dust and allergens efficiently. 
  • Vacuum slowly with overlapping strokes to lift as much dirt as possible. 
  • Pay extra attention to high-traffic areas where dirt accumulates more quickly. 

Using a carpet cleaner for a deeper clean 

Vacuuming alone won’t remove deeply embedded dirt and stains, which is where a carpet cleaner comes in. Ewbank’s HYDROC2 Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner is designed to lift dirt while refreshing your carpet. Here’s how to use it effectively: 

 

  • Fill the tank with clean water and Ewbank’s carpet cleaning solution. 
  • Evenly distribute the cleaner across the carpet, using slow, steady movements. 
  • Allow the cleaner to extract dirt and excess moisture for a thorough clean. 
  • Let your carpets dry completely before replacing your furniture or walking on them. 

Tackling stubborn stains 

Stains are an inevitable part of life, but they don’t have to be permanent. Common culprits include food spills, pet messes, and muddy footprints. Here’s how to deal with them effectively: 

 

  • Spot treatment: The HYDROSPOT Compact Cleaner is perfect for targeting stubborn stains, offering targeted cleaning for small problem areas. 
  • Act fast: The sooner you treat a stain, the easier it is to remove. 
  • Blot, don’t rub: Press a clean cloth onto the stain to absorb any moisture before cleaning it, instead of spreading it further. 
  • Use the right solution: Ewbank’s carpet cleaning solutions are designed to work with our products and help lift stains without damaging fibres. 

Drying & maintaining your carpet

Letting your carpets dry fully is essential when it comes to preventing mould and musty odours from developing. In addition, speeding up the drying process can help your carpets remain fresh. Opening windows and doors allows fresh air to circulate, helping excess moisture more quickly. Plus, you can use a fan or a dehumidifier to boost air circulation and draw moisture out of the carpet. Additionally, limiting foot traffic on your carpet until it is completely dry prevents dirt from resettling or creating new stains. 

 

To maintain your carpets between cleans and extend its lifespan, you should vacuum regularly. The AIRSTORM 2-in-1 Pet Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is perfect for daily maintenance, effectively tackling dirt, dust, and pet hair before they become embedded in the carpet fibres. Addressing spills as soon as they happen prevents them from becoming stubborn stains that are difficult to remove. Placing mats in doorways also helps reduce the amount of dirt and debris that’s tracked into your home every day.
