Mr. Chem-Dry Utah's Carpet Cleaning Expert Offers These Carpet Cleaning Tips and Tricks

Here are a few helpful hints for keeping your Utah carpets and upholstery looking their best.

Removing Spots and Stains with Chem-Dry Spot Remover

Liquid Spills and Stains:

Blot up all liquid spills immediately by putting a terry cloth towel or several layers of white paper towels on the carpet and then stand on them. This will force the liquid into the towels. Repeat this process with fresh towels until they no longer get damp.

Spray Chem-Dry Spot Remover generously on the area and repeat the blotting technique one more time. This product removes sticky residue that may cause the carpet to attract dirt.

Grease, Oil, Soil and Other Stains:

Remove any loose materials with a butter knife or towel. Spray the area generously with Chem-Dry Spot Remover and blot out with a clean terry cloth towel or white paper towels as described above. Repeat this process until the stain is gone.

How to Keep Your Carpets Looking Their Best

Vacuuming:

We recommend vacuuming your carpeting frequently (once a day if possible). Vacuuming removes loose soil before it becomes embedded in the carpet fiber. Frequent vacuuming does not wear out your carpets.

Shoes:

Many of our customers with fine homes and expensive carpeting have shoes removed at the door. You may elect to have family members follow this policy and exempt your guests. Removing shoes at the door will add months to the new, clean look of your carpets.

Carpet Care Products:

Check with your Chem-Dry professional before using "off the shelf" carpet deodorizers and spotters. Many of these products leave dirt attracting residues that will cause rapid re-soiling of the carpet. Chem-Dry Spot Remover is an effective all purpose cleaning and spot removing product, safe to use on any carpet or fabric you can use water on.

If Chem-Dry Spot Remover does not give the desired results call your Chem-Dry Carpet Cleaning Professional for further help

Area Rugs:

Inexpensive area rugs are great for heavy traffic areas like the transition between the kitchen and dining room. These rugs can be quickly removed when you are expecting guests. It is recommended that area rugs with a latex or soft backing be used. Rugs with a jute or coarse backing should have a pad under them.

We can help with professionally cleaning your area rugs when needed.

Rug Cleaning Plant:

More expensive woven rugs are our specialty. We can clean your rugs on-site or clean them in our in house rug cleaning plant. When cleaned in our rug cleaning plant rugs receive detailed attention as they are inspected, dusted, vacuumed, shampooed, bathed, extracted, groomed and finished. For the very finest in pampering send your rugs to our saloon for rugs.
