To clean SmartStrand carpet, start with warm water. Blot the stain using a damp cloth. If it remains, use Mohawk FloorCare Essentials™ low-residue spot remover. Ensure the cleaner has the Carpet and Rug Institute Seal of Approval. Always blot gently rather than rubbing to achieve the best results.
On the other hand, dry cleaning methods utilize solvents or powders. These methods attract and absorb dirt without moisture. They are ideal for maintaining carpets between deep cleans, as they leave little to no residue. Dry cleaning is often quicker and allows for immediate use of the carpet after cleaning.
Each method has its pros and cons. Water cleaning effectively deep cleans, while dry cleaning is more convenient and faster. When choosing a method, consider the level of soil, the type of stains, and the urgency of cleaning.
In the next section, we will explore specific cleaning techniques for SmartStrand carpets and offer tips on maintaining their appearance to extend their lifespan.
