how to clean heavily soiled carpet

Introduction

The secret to cleaning heavily soiled carpet is good vacuuming and scrubbing. The first step is to vacuum all areas of the carpet, then sprinkle baking soda on the affected area and let it sit for a couple hours. After that, mix dishwashing liquid with hot water and spray the solution over the cleaned area. Scrub with a sponge or scrub brush until all stains are gone. You’ll be amazed at how well this works!

Vacuuming

To vacuum your carpet, use a brush attachment on your vacuum. Don't use a beater bar or any other device that has rotating brushes or beater bars.

Vacuum the carpet thoroughly.

The first step to cleaning heavy-soiled carpet is to vacuum the carpet thoroughly. Remove as much dirt and debris from your carpet as possible before applying any cleaning solution. Try using a vacuum with a beater bar attachment to get at those deep down dirt particles, or one with a HEPA filter if you have allergies or asthma. Also make sure that your vacuum has suction power of at least 1600 watts—this will help lift up contaminants more effectively and prevent them from becoming embedded in your fibers again after you wipe them away with water (more on this later).

Sprinkle baking soda

Sprinkle the baking soda on top of the carpet and let it sit for a couple hours. Then, sprinkle fresh baking soda over the soiled area again. Let it sit overnight and vacuum up in the morning.

Sprinkle baking soda along the carpet and let it sit for a couple hours.

Pour baking soda on the carpet and let it sit for a couple hours. This step is crucial because baking soda will help absorb the dirt and stains in your carpet.

After you've sprinkled baking soda all over your carpet, you'll want to vacuum it up before moving on to the next step.

Mix dishwashing liquid and hot water

Mixing dishwashing liquid with hot water is a great way to clean heavily soiled carpets.

• Add 1/2 cup of dishwashing liquid per gallon of hot water, and mix well.

• Pour this solution onto the carpet and scrub it into the fibers using a stiff-bristled brush.

• Let sit for 30 minutes, then rinse out with clean water.

The next step involves mixing dishwashing liquid with hot water. Dishwashing liquid works as a cleaning agent and helps remove stains from your carpet. It also helps to lift dirt particles, which allows them to be washed away when you rinse the shampooed area of your carpet.

While it is important to use this solution, it's equally important not to put too much dishwashing liquid in the mixture or you will end up damaging your carpets. Also, if you have pets in your home or children who like playing on their flooring surfaces without shoes on, it's best for them not to drink any residue that might remain after rinsing off the mixture of hot water and soap since this could cause gastrointestinal problems (e.g., vomiting).

Spray the affected area in a sweeping motion.

Once you’ve sprayed the affected area, use a sponge or scrub brush to clean the carpet. Work from the outer edges of the stain toward the center, so you don’t spread it further. Repeat this process until all traces of dirt and/or stains are gone.

How to clean heavily soiled carpet is a question we receive often. The answer? Spray it down, of course! You can use any spray bottle that you have handy—and again, we recommend using one with a trigger so you don't waste any time fumbling around trying to figure out how to get it open.

Scrubbing and blotting

Scrubbing the carpet with a sponge or scrub brush and then blotting the area with clean water can remove many stains. Work from the outer edges of the stain toward the center, so you don’t spread it further.

Use a sponge or scrub brush to clean the carpet.

• Use a sponge or scrub brush to clean the carpet.

• Work from the outer edges of the stain toward the center, so you don’t spread it further.

• Repeat until all the stains are gone.

• Don't use a vacuum with a beater bar on heavily soiled or wet carpets because it can damage them and create more work for you later on when you have to repair them.

• Work from the outer edges of the stain toward the center, so you don’t spread it further.

• Don't rub or scrub. Instead, gently blot with a clean white cloth or paper towels. Blotting is the best method for removing liquid stains from carpet because it doesn't press fibers together and make them stick together as much as rubbing does.

• Use only a small amount of water—just enough to dampen the area around your stained area. Too much water can spread stain beyond its original boundaries and cause discoloration in some carpets (especially wool). On modern synthetic carpets this isn't usually an issue; however, if you're unsure about whether or not your carpet might be sensitive to excessive humidity contact it's manufacturer to find out what type of care instructions they provide for their product line before proceeding with cleaning advice found online like ours here at Clorox Professional!

Repeat until all the stains are gone.

In most cases, you'll need to repeat the process until all of your carpet's stains are gone. As with any cleaning job, it's important to start with a dry cloth and work your way in toward the middle of each stain.

Consider using a sponge or scrub brush if you have one available— this will give you added leverage as you work on stubborn stains

You can clean heavily soiled carpet well enough to make it look like new again with good vacuuming, baking soda, and scrubbing.

Before you start cleaning, it's important to know that vacuuming is one of the most important steps for getting rid of carpet stains. If you can't vacuum up a stain, baking soda and scrubbing will not be able to do much.

Baking soda is one of the best natural cleaners for heavily soiled areas because it works well at neutralizing odors and absorbing moisture from the fabric. It also helps reduce the appearance of stains so they aren't as obvious after cleaning them.

Scrubbing with a stiff brush or cloth helps remove dirt by physically removing dirt particles from your carpet fibers instead of just pushing them around like vacuuming does, which can cause more damage in some cases! Just make sure not to scrub too hard or you'll risk damaging your flooring instead! Blotting excess moisture after blotting excess moisture after blotting excess moisture is key here too - if there's still water sitting there after this step then it could cause mold growth later down the line when it starts growing again due to dampness issues (which we want none).

Conclusion

The best way to clean heavily soiled carpet is by vacuuming, which will remove a lot of the dirt and debris. Then, use baking soda to soak up any remaining stains before scrubbing them out with a sponge or brush. Once everything looks good again, you can vacuum one last time just to make sure everything is nice and clean
