I’ve no idea how this ludicrous garbage ended up on DON GREER’S FASHION FLOORS page, but take it from a newly retired employee of DON GREER’S, forget these sorts of ridiculous “helpful hints” on how to clean your carpets and fabrics! Nearly every single combo of these ingredients have the potential to ruin your carpet and upholstered furniture.
Forget Woolite and Resolve as well as all of these types of products leave residual ingredients that simply attract and hold new soils!
Do not use powdered carpet cleaners either, especially if you have small children or elderly family members! These powders can enter the lungs and cause mucus to build up around the ingested powder! This can cause illness and even death in someone with pre-existing health conditions!
If you prefer to clean your carpet yourself, BISSELL recently came out with their own SOAP-FREE carpet cleaner to use in their machines.
As I often advised our clients: If you have children, pets (or messy adults!) in you home, it is truly worth it to invest in the light weight floor / carpet machine BISSELL has recently introduced! It resembles a “stick-type” vac, but it fantastic for spills and pet or human accidents! We do, however, still recommend a professional carpet cleaning every 12 to 18 months. This will do a much deeper cleaning and more thorough extraction than a lighter weight machine.
The best means of cleaning non-wool carpets is with a SOAP FREE hot water extraction method. It will leave no residual soap in the carpet, residue which would attract and hold newly introduced soil to your carpet! Don Greer’s Fashion Floors has been cleaning carpets with this method for over 20 + years and Fashion Floors’ customers love it! Try the tile cleaning service as well!
