How long does carpet protection last?

• <div><p>You can expect your carpet protection to last about six months to two years. It will last longer in low-traffic areas (compared to busy areas, where your carpet experiences more wear and tear). Once the protector wears off, you’ll need to call your carpet contractor to reapply the stain protection treatment and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-clean-and-revive-carpet-pile.htm">revive your carpet</a>. </p></div>

Does hairspray remove ink from carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, hairspray can remove ink from carpet, but <a href="http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=2043">only because it contains alcohol</a>. Alcohol is the solvent that dissolves the active ingredients in hairspray, which makes hairspray behave similarly to rubbing alcohol when applied to a stain. </p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between shampooing and steaming carpets?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dry-carpet-cleaning-vs-steam-cleaning-methods.htm">Steam cleaning carpets</a> uses less water and has faster drying times. Shampooing carpets involves applying a carpet shampoo and using a machine that works it into the carpet and fibers. This method uses more water, so it tends to take longer for the carpets to dry. Which method should be used depends on the type of stains, level of dirtiness, and preference. </p></div>

Q: Will vinegar clean upholstery?

• <div><p>Vinegar is acidic and makes a great cleaning agent for many items throughout the house, including some upholstery. It should not be used for any upholstery with the code S or X. It can be used for W labels. To use a vinegar solution, mix equal parts water and vinegar and blot the stain using a gentle circular motion with a clean microfibre cloth and then allow to dry completely. As with any DIY solution, test a small and inconspicuous section first.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for water to evaporate out of your carpet?

• <div><p>It takes 24 to 72 hours for water to evaporate out of the carpet if you use a wet vac and towels to soak up the majority of the moisture and then run blower fans and dehumidifiers to speed up the evaporation process. The total length of time for the water to evaporate out of the carpet depends on how wet the carpet is, the type of carpet, and the thickness of the carpet.</p></div>
