We also use them a lot, which means they’re constantly being charged, One of the most common problems I come across is when a customer has attempted to clean their carpet themselves with a shop-bought cleaning product. Most o -the-shelf products you can buy use hydrogen peroxide as a bleaching agent. In the right hands these can be used e ectively to clean and remove stains. However, in the wrong hands it can be disastrous. People unwittingly pour it on, then rub and scrub, but don’t extract or rinse. is means the chemical remains within the carpet and keeps on working long a er the event, causing damage to the carpet. Top Tip: Caring For Your Carpet by Craig Sly, Enviroclean Hampshire Consequently, it’s not the chemical that is the problem – it’s the fact that it’s le sat on the carpet when it should have been removed. e moral of this tale is to be wary of shop bought carpet cleaning products.
