| Cleaning |
 |
Detergent
Solution
A teaspoon of neutral detergent, such as 'Stergent', to half
pint (quarter litre) of warm water. |
 |
Detergent/Vinegar
Solution
Add one teaspoon of white vinegar to the above detergent solution. |
 |
Ammonia
Solution
One tablespoon of household ammonia to one cup of warm water.
WARNING: Always test a small 'out of the way' area of your carpet
for colour fastness prior to tackling the stain. |
 |
Dry
Cleaning Solvent
A proprietary brand of dry cleaning solvent should be used.
You will also need a blunt knife and some white tissues or absorbent
cloth to blot up the stain as it is released. The modern alternative
is K2R, a dry spray, which is best left overnight to work on any stain
before vacuuming off. |
|
Maintainance
|
 |
Regular
vacuuming (upright).
Check regularly that the vacuum cleaner is not clogged up
and there are no sharp edges. |
 |
The
biggest enemy of smooth floors is scratching and care should
be taken to avoid grit and sharp edges which will damage your
floor. |
 |
Barrier
mats are highly recommended in entrances and the busiest traffic
areas. |
