A review of Vax carpet shampoo

Shampooing a carpet or upholstery can give it a whole new lease of life. Your rooms will look and smell fresher and your carpets or suites will be much brighter. Even with regular vacuum cleaning, carpets become very dirty with regular wear, so a Vax shampoo is essential from time to time. This article provides you with a review of Vax carpet shampoo.

When to shampoo

Carpet shampoo will bring your carpet back to life when it begins to look grubby. Similarly, the same power cleaners can be used to clean fabric chairs and suites, but don't be tempted to use these products until you feel it is absolutely necessary because once you have cleaned your carpet with a detergent power cleaner, you will need to do so again on a regular basis.

Positive points

Carpet cleaning Carpet cleaning will bring your carpet back to life, the nap will be "fluffed up" again and the original colours will reveal themselves. Vax cleaners use a water and detergent extraction method that forces the detergent into the carpet and then draws the dirty water back out. You will be amazed at the colour of the dirty water when you see just how much dirt has been accumulated into your carpets.Use the recommended cleaning products and buy shampoo especially for carpets or upholstery. This foams less than other shampoos and will be extracted from the carpet more easily.

Negative points

Stain guards Once you wash your carpet for the first time, the protective stain guards will be washed out too. Therefore, it is imperative that you also treat your carpet with a new layer of protection. Allow the carpet to dry fully before spraying the protective carpet guard over the entire area. Wear a mask over your nose and mouth if possible, to avoid inhaling the spray. Time Your carpet will take at least a full day to dry even in the height of summer. So, plan ahead as to when you can carry out the job. Ideally, move all furniture out of the room and allow the carpet to dry naturally before moving in the furniture back. Avoid winter time cleaning if possible because without adequate ventilation, you can cause damp.
