Carpet Glo - Carpet Shampoo
THE SECRETS OF CARPET CARE
A good carpet shampoo must be able to produce a great amount of “dry” foam which can penetrate and dissolve the dirt. It must not be absorbed and be allowed to penetrate into the bottom of the carpet since this could result in damage to the carpet. Obviously it must not be allowed to adversely affect the fibres or colour of the carpet either. Carpet Glo fulfils all these requirements and gives the excellent care needed to maximize carpet appearance and functional life.

Three Basic and Easy Steps to Clean Carpets

  • Before cleaning a carpet, it must first be thoroughly vacuum-cleaned to remove all loose dirt.
  • Mix Carpet Glo according to the directions and apply. The application can be done either manually or using a machine. The mixture can vary depending upon in which manner the application is made. In very dirty areas, it may be necessary to make an extra application; in this case, care must be observed to avoid soaking the carpet. After the cleaning, let the carpet dry completely. Important for machine cleaning: If you choose to use a carpet cleaning machine, follow machine manufacturer’s use instructions closely, including shampoo dilution instructions.
  • Then vacuum-clean the dry carpet again. The second vacuum-cleaning removes all dirt which has been loosened by Carpet Glo. Observe how the carpet looks after being cleaned. This appearance is caused not only by the dirt-removing effect, but also by the effect of a special substance in Carpet Glo which enhances the colours.

Special Notes Before Cleaning

Very Important: Carpet Glo can be used for most popular carpet materials. However, certain carpet manufacturers use colours which cannot tolerate the cleaning procedure. Therefore you should always test Carpet Glo in a small inconspicuous corner of the carpet and you should carefully ensure that there is no discolouration or removal of the colour. We recommend that this test should be done the day before so that the carpet has a chance to dry completely.
