Carpet care guides

Quick, simple fixes for carpet stains and smells. Each one takes 30 seconds to read.

• Why is my carpet cleaner not sucking or spraying?Most often the grey suction slot above the brush is clogged with rolled up carpet fibre, or the tanks are not pressed tight together.
• How to use a rented carpet cleaner?Fill the clean tank with hot tap water and solution, do a slow wet pass with the trigger held, then a dry pass without it, and empty the dirty tank often.
• How do I get nail polish out of carpet?Scoop up what you can, test nail polish remover on a hidden spot, dab it on with a white cloth from the edge in, then rinse and dry.
• How do I get poop or vomit out of carpet?Put on gloves, scoop up the mess, blot with cool soapy water, spray an enzyme cleaner for the smell, then rinse and dry.
• How to get red wine out of carpet?Blot it right away with a white cloth, then blot on cold water with a little dish soap, rinse and dry.
