Perfect cleanliness of carpets with THOMAS

How do you clean a carpet? What’s the best way to remove stains and old dirt from carpets? And how can you maintain the cleanliness of carpets for an extended period after wet cleaning?

Regular wet cleaning of the carpet can reduce or eliminate the need for dry cleaning. This will also maintain the hygiene of the environment, as a washing vacuum cleaner for carpets removes dust, microorganisms, and dirt from deep within the pile while also humidifying the air. THOMAS devices are widely regarded as reliable tools for cleaning. With THOMAS, the cleaning process is efficient and quick, leaving your carpet looking like new.

How to clean a carpet with a vacuum cleaner properly?

The operation of devices with wet cleaning functionality is straightforward. A special nozzle sprays a detergent solution onto the carpet pile, and then the vacuum cleaner suctions up the liquid along with the dirt. Although the water only briefly contacts the carpet, it effectively dissolves the dirt during this time.

For optimal results, it’s important to dry vacuum all surfaces before using a vacuum cleaner on carpets. This includes the floor, electronics, shelves, and the carpet itself. Doing so will:

• Remove large debris, wool, and hair from the carpet.
• Prevent dust from settling on a clean, slightly damp surface (which would happen if other surfaces are cleaned only after wet cleaning).

Next, you can proceed with cleaning carpets using a THOMAS vacuum cleaner:

1. First, fill the tank with water and add the recommended amount of detergent. This solution will help break down complex and old stains more effectively.
2. Next, attach the special water spray nozzle to the suction pipe. 
3. Place a splash guard in the AquaBox. This guard has a built-in sensor that will automatically turn off the device if too much water is collected, protecting the motor.
4. Turn on both the power and pump buttons on the vacuum cleaner to begin cleaning the carpet or rug.
5. Guide the nozzle towards you, while continuously pressing the lever to spray the cleaning solution. Move systematically across the entire floor covering, working in overlapping strips for better results.
6. After cleaning, empty the dirty water from the vacuum cleaner tank.

Are all nozzles suitable for washing carpets?

Each washing device includes a special nozzle with unique features:

• Triangular Shape: Allows for effective cleaning in corners and tight spaces.
• Narrow Design: Ensures high suction power.
• Solution Supply Hose: Delivers the cleaning solution directly to the surface.

The design of the carpet cleaning nozzle allows it to both apply the solution to the pile and collect the dirty water in the tank simultaneously.

What else do you need to remember?

1. When cleaning carpets with a vacuum cleaner, it’s important to use a specialised professional detergent like THOMAS. This concentrated shampoo enhances cleaning efficiency by tackling even stubborn old stains. It is both economical and effective.
2. Clean the carpet at a steady pace to ensure each area is thoroughly treated. 
3. Avoid over-wetting any single spot by not dwelling too long on one area.
4. Before purchasing a vacuum cleaner, check your carpet’s stain resistance by rubbing a wet white cloth on a small area of the carpet. If the cloth remains clean, the carpet is suitable for washing with a vacuum cleaner.

Vacuum cleaners designed for washing carpets deliver outstanding results with minimal effort: a clean surface, a lifted pile, and a refreshed appearance. Additionally, you’ll benefit from dust-free air and the removal of dust mites from deep within the carpet.
