How to begin...
Deep cleaning carpet
1. Plan activities to give carpet time to dry.
2. Remove easily moved furniture (chairs, lamps, coffee/
cocktail tables, etc.) from room.
3. Vacuum carpet thoroughly.
4. Decide where to begin–and end–your job. Clean in 3’x 4’
sections, starting in areas farthest from exit. Plan to leave a
path open to empty soiled water and refill cleaner.
5. Carpeting will dry in three to four hours, depending on carpet
style and air circulation in room. A floor fan speeds drying.
6. Replace furniture on damp carpeting by placing waxed
paper under furniture legs until floor dries completely.
