Use mild products for regular daily cleaning.

Use stronger products only for weekly deep cleaning.

Avoid ingredients that are poisonous or that harm the environment.

Wear protective gloves and goggles when mixing or using any cleaning products.

It is sometimes better to clean your carpets more frequently since carpets that are cleaned less often require more and stronger chemicals. Use the stronger chemicals sparingly and carefully.

Some tips when using chemicals to clean carpet:

Corrosive chemicals (acids or caustics) can blind you in seconds.
Always wear goggles to protect your eyes.
Corrosives can also damage your skin and leave scars.
Wear gloves to protect your hands.
Some poisonous chemicals absorb through your skin.
Always wear gloves when using products containing glycol ethers or ethanolamines.
Some poisonous chemicals are easily inhaled.
Be sure that your work area has enough ventilation.
Mixing different products together can create poisonous chemicals.
Avoid mixing products, and be sure to rinse out work buckets after each use.
