A hand-free mop is used for deep cleaning of carpet stains

Hand-free mops can be used for light cleaning of carpets, but they are difficult to meet the needs of deep cleaning and need to be combined with professional tools and processes. The following are the specific analyses and suggestions:

Insufficient cleaning depth

The fiber structure of carpets is complex, and stains can easily penetrate deep. The hand-free mop mainly removes dirt by wiping the surface, which is difficult to reach the roots of the fibers. Its effect on removing stubborn stains (such as coffee stains and oil stains) is limited.

It is difficult to control moisture

Carpets have strong water absorption. If the mop contains too much water or is not fully dehydrated after cleaning, it is easy to cause water residue, leading to mold or unpleasant odors. Although the dehydration function of hand-free mops can reduce residues, it is difficult to completely avoid risks.

Limited operational flexibility

The surface of the carpet is uneven, and the flat design of the mop may not fit perfectly, resulting in uneven cleaning. Especially for long-haired carpets, mops are prone to being entangled by fibers, which affects the cleaning efficiency.

Pre-treat stains

For stubborn stains, first spray a special carpet cleaner locally, let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes to decompose the stain, and then clean it with a hand-free mop. This can enhance the stain removal effect.

Control the amount of detergent used

Dilute the cleaner at a ratio of 1:50 (e.g., 100ml cleaner +5L water) to avoid foam residue due to excessive use. When cleaning, follow the principle of "small amounts and frequent cleaning" to reduce water infiltration.

Zoned cleaning and rapid drying

Divide the carpet into small sections, clean them one by one, and immediately use absorbent towels to press and dry the moisture, or use a fan to speed up the drying process to reduce the risk of mold.

Professional carpet cleaner

Equipped with a brush head and a powerful water absorption function, it can penetrate deep into the fibers to remove stubborn stains and simultaneously absorb moisture, making it suitable for large areas or deep cleaning needs.

Steam cleaner

Soften the stains with high-temperature steam and then wipe them with a towel, which also has a sterilization effect. However, it is necessary to control the amount of steam to avoid the carpet overheating and deforming.

Dry cleaning powder/foam cleaner

It is suitable for local stains and does not require water washing. After cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner to remove the residue. The operation is simple and the risk is relatively low.

Vacuum regularly

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and hair from the carpet surface every week to reduce the accumulation of stains and lower the frequency of deep cleaning.

Avoid mopping the floor directly

Carpet cleaning should mainly follow the method of "suction - spray - wipe - suction". A hand-free mop should only be used as an auxiliary tool to avoid long-term reliance.

Professional annual cleaning

We hire professional carpet cleaning services every year and use industrial-grade equipment for thorough cleaning to extend the service life of the carpets.
