Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I noticed a rippling effect on the edges of my area rugs
– should I be concerned?
A. Wool area rugs sometimes have a rippling effect
on the edges after cleaning. This rippling will relax
our after a few days of regular wear and usage.
Q. After using the Low Moisture –No Rinse- Carpet
Cleaner, my carpet feels dry and crunchy – what can
I do?
A. If your carpets feel crunchy, you likely used too much
of the Low Moisture – No Rinse- Carpet Cleaner.
The dry crunchy feeling will go away after a few days
of normal wear and usage. Another pass vacuuming
should also help break up the crunchy texture more
quickly. To avoid this from happening again, we
recommend using less solution on one specific area
or a less concentrated dilution.
Q. How can I remove tough stains?
A. Begin by treating the stain with the Activating
Pretreater until fully saturated. Let sit for 5-10
minutes. Next, use a white cloth with a blunt object
to blot up the stain. You will see the stain transfer
from the carpet onto the white cloth. Continue to
use fresh areas of the cloth as you blot up more and
more of the stain. Never rub. Repeat as necessary.
