Thoughts of spring should also
bring thoughs of carpet cleaning.
No matter how often you
vacuumed it over the winter, your
carpet will probably need a
thorough cleaning to get rid of the
effects of snow, ice and salt, says
Greta C. Vairo, Delaware County
Extension home economist with
the Penn State Extension Service.

including aerosol spray foam,
shampoo, hot water extraction and
dry powder, are available. Aerosol
spray foam is convenient, dries
quickly and is suitable for spot
cleaning. But it is also more ex
pensive than liquid shampoo and
may leave a residue.
If you choose this method, spray

Shampooing is a little more
involved and cannot be used on
shag rugs because the pile can
become entangled in the brushes of
the electric shampooer. In this
method, a water and detergent
solution is applied to a freshly

pooer. manual applicator, sponge

An electric shampooer works
best because it agitates the carpet
fibers and works the shampoo into
the pile. For even cleaning,
overlap the strokes, but do not go
over one area too many times. The
carpet will become damaged from
too much agitation and may also
become too wet. After cleaning
each section, brush the wet pile in
one direction with the applicator,
but be careful not to soak the
carpet since the backing may
become wet and cause brown
stains. When the foam has dried
thoroughly, vacuum the rug.
The newest carpet cleaning
method is hot water extraction, or
steam cleaning. Originally, the
equipment was available only
professionally, but now you can
rent equipment to clean your
carpets yourself.
With this method, a mixture of
hot tap water and special non
foaming detergent is forced into
the carpet pile under pressure. The
dirt is loosened or dissolved by the
detergent and most of the solution

is immediately extracted by a
powerful vacuum.
Because most of the soil and
solution is removed, less residue
remains in the carpet. This method
can also remove residue from
other cleaning methods. The diy
powder method is safe for non
colorfast carpeting, but is less
effective on stains that are not
greasy. In this method, absorbent
granules containing dry cleaning
fluid are sprinkled over the carpet
surface and worked into the pile
with a brush. The powder absorbs
oils and some dirt.
Dry powder causes no problems
with distortion of the pile, but it
may be difficult to completely
vacuum all the powder. This will
be especially evident on dark
colors.
Since not all cleaning agents can
be used safely on all fibers and
dyes, be sure to mix the product
according to directions and test it
on an inconspicuous area like a
corner, or behind a piece of fur
niture. Penn State is an af
