WE RECOMMEND:

Regular vacuumimg. Over 60% of dirt in your carpet is loose dirt which can be vacuumed up. This also stops  oils from building up and attracting more dirt.

Always test fabric before using a cleaner to see how the fabric reacts. Some lose there colour.

Treat stains immediately. The longer you leave a stain, the longer it will have to chemically react with the fabric, making it harder to remove.

Always use cleaning agents designed for the specific job. Start with the mildest solution possible and work your way up. Never use harsh chemicals .

Don't use supermarket cleaning agents. Blot stains with warm water until no moisture is left. If the stain is still present re-apply water and blot gently. Do not rubb.

Never over-wet a carpet or fabric. Without an extraction machine over-wetting can cause browning, shrinkage, and other side effects.

 

 

HOW TO CLEAN A:

Wine
The key to removing wine stains is to clean them as soon as possible starting with the mildest solutions. Combat red wine stains by pouring white wine over the top and soaking it up. Wash with cold water and ammonia and then rinse thoroughly. For white wine, use cold water and ammonia, or go onto other treatments seen under Alcohol.

Candle wax and Chewing gum
If you find these on a moveable fabric, put the stained article into a freezer until the wax or gum hardens. Once it has become brittle, you should be able to scrape and chop at it until it comes off.
To remove the wax or gum residue, place a clean white blotter over the stain and press with a warm iron. You can then sponge it with a stain remover. If there is still stain from coloured candle wax, this can be removed with an equal solution of methylated spirits to water.

Glue
1. Mix a teaspoon of a pH balanced detergent that is non alkaline and non bleaching with one cup of lukewarm water and blot. 
2. Mix a tablespoon of ammonia with 1/2 cup of water and blot. 
3. Repeat step 1 
4. Sponge clean with plain water.
