Hairs are left on the sofa and on the floor, muddy paws spoil our carpets and the smell of wet dog often wafts into the room after a long and eventful walk.
BLAST! HIGH POWER AIR FRESHENERS are an effective odour neutralising air-freshener available in a variety of perfumes - pump BLAST into the room after walking your dog to ensure a pleasant smelling environment once again. The advanced dry formulation also allows you to use it as a fabric freshener, making this a cost-effective product to use when combatting stubborn odours.
Muddy paws on the floor can be a thing of the past with the help of CAREFREE MAINTAINER, which is ideal for damp mopping and spray cleaning. However, if your dog enjoys walking on your carpet with dirty paws, why not try COMET EXTRACTION CLEANER DETERGENT - it has been designed to clean carpets using a spray extraction technique, or used as a pre-spotter before cleaning; perfect when needing to revitalise your carpet.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CARPET
• When combatting tough stains, it is always best practise to pre-treat them using a CARPET STAIN REMOVER;
• Leave the solution to soak into the carpet for about five minutes and then scrub gently using a HAND BRUSH in all directions. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully;
• Use a mixture of CARPET AND FABRIC DETERGENT and water. Once you have lifted the stain, follow the instructions on the back of the detergent and wait for another five minutes or so;
• Go over the carpet once more with water and let it dry naturally;
• Vacuum.
For pooches who adore the comfort of your sofa and leave hairs behind, why not brush them away with the use of the TAMPICO UPHOLSTERY BRUSH with grippy handle - the soft, natural fibres are ideal for the application of pre-sprays and shampoos. One product we recommend is the PROCHEM FIBRE SHAMPOO, which uses a concentrated blend of high foaming and crystallising neutral detergents. To ensure the best result is achieved vacuum your upholstery when dry or rinse with FIBRE AND FABRIC RINSE B109 solution and leave until thoroughly dry.
THE FIRST STEPS TO UPHOLSTERY CLEANING
• Firstly, you need to identify the material of your sofa and the soiling or stain - the removal system you use is greatly influenced by the upholstery fabric;
• When it comes to indentifying the fabric, it is imperative that you do not confuse faux leather with real suede - always check the labels before commencing any cleaning;
• Once you have established the stain and fabric type, find the appropriate products - always remember to follow the instructions on the product fully and carefully. We have a great range of LEATHER CARE products that are sure to bring the shine back to your sofa or chair;
• Please be aware that you may need to hire a professional upholstery cleaner.
With these products and tips you’re sure to have a home that looks and smells fresh as well as being filled with the joy a dog can bring to the household.
