Carpet shampooing is a thorough cleaning process designed to remove dirt, stains, and odors from carpets. Here are the main components and details involved in carpet shampooing:

Preparation
Furniture Moving: Remove furniture and any other items from the carpeted area to ensure complete access to the carpet.

Vacuuming: The carpet is vacuumed to remove loose dirt, debris, and pet hair before any shampooing begins.

2. Spot Treatment
Stain Identification: Any noticeable stains are treated with specific stain removers appropriate for the type of stain (e.g., wine, pet stains, ink).

Application: Stain remover is applied and allowed to sit for a few minutes to break down the stain.

3. Shampooing Process

Shampoo Selection: A carpet shampoo or cleaning solution is chosen based on the carpet type and condition. Eco-friendly or hypoallergenic options are available for sensitive areas.

Application: The shampoo is applied using a carpet shampoo machine or a manual applicator. The machine often uses rotating brushes to penetrate deep into the carpet fibers.

Agitation: The carpet is agitated using the machine to ensure that shampoo reaches the base of the fibers and loosens embedded dirt and grime.

4. Extraction
Rinsing: After shampooing, a machine extracts the shampoo along with dirt and grime. Some systems use hot water extraction, where hot water is sprayed onto the carpet and immediately vacuumed back up.

Drying: The carpet needs adequate time to dry. Fans may be used to expedite the drying process, as damp carpets can attract new dirt and lead to mold growth.

5. Post-Cleaning Care
Final Vacuum: Once the carpet is dry, a final vacuuming may be performed to lift any fibers and restore the carpet’s texture.

Protectors Application: Optional carpet protectors can be applied to resist future stains and prolong the life of the carpet.

6. Frequency
It’s generally recommended to shampoo carpets every 6 months, depending on foot traffic and specific stains encountered.

7. Benefits
Improved Appearance: Removes stains and revitalizes the carpet’s colour and texture.

Odor Elimination: Effectively removes odours, leaving the space smelling fresh
