How to Clean a Rug
Apply Vax
Pre-Treatment solution
to your rug, allowing it to sit and soak in for a few minutes, this will lift dirt perfectly with no need to agitate the rug fibres.
For optimal results, go over the same area again with your
Vax Carpet Cleaner Solution
and usual carpet washer routine.
If your Vax machine is equipped with a trigger, you can utilise this to conveniently purge the rug with extra water and solution. Both of our
SmartWash
machines allow you to go forwards and backwards as many times necessary.
How to Clean a Shag Rug
When cleaning a shag rug, also known as a high-pile rug, proceed with a similar course of action to a wool rug. Simply apply
pre-treatment
and finish off with your regular carpet cleaning upkeep, there are however some factors to consider.
We encourage that in the first instance, you get as much liquid sucked up, without having to scrub the stain. You may then add
solution
and gently switch between dabbing and extracting until the stain is fully removed.
Our
carpet shampooers
with SpinScrub elements are purpose-built for gliding over shag rugs that contain a looser weave construction.
What About Wool Rug Cleaning?
Our carpet cleaning machines are designed to be used alongside the
Vax solution range
for the best outcome. All Vax solutions are approved by the Woolsafe Organisation for use on wet-cleanable fibres, including wool.
For sizeable wool areas, we would advise using our
upright carpet cleaners
, in accordance with the user guide, for any stain removal or deep clean purposes. Please note, operating the machine in a slow and controlled motion leads to achieving an overall thorough clean.
When specially tackling tough stains such as red wine, tea or coffee on wool rugs, a
Vax Spot Cleaner
is the right choice. Be sure to extract as much liquid as possible from your rug, whilst preventing the release of excess water at the same time.
Make use of our
pre-treatment solution
or alternatively use the trigger to directly target the stain on the wool rug.
