Q: What household cleaner can I use in my carpet cleaner?

• <div><p>You can use several common household cleaners to clean carpets, including vinegar, baking soda, salt, and borax. </p></div>

Q: How often should you clean carpets?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll want to have your carpet cleaned every <b>12 to 18 months</b>. But <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-clean-my-carpets.htm">carpet cleaning frequency</a> depends on foot traffic, so if you find dirt and stains magically appear in your home fairly frequently, you can have your carpet cleaned more often. Speak with your carpet cleaning team to ask about special packages that cover ongoing visits.</p></div>

Q: Can you hose down an oriental rug?

• <div><p>Because you likely don&rsquo;t have the equipment to dry your oriental rug adequately, cleaning it with a hose or any deluge of water is a bad idea. The fibers of an oriental rug are especially dense, so water can cause damage like marking, fading, mold, and odor. Since sunlight can also fade an oriental rug, that&rsquo;s not a good option for drying it to prevent damage. </p></div>

Q: Do you vacuum before carpet cleaning?

• <div><p>Yes, you should always vacuum before cleaning your carpets to remove any dust or debris. If you hire a professional carpet cleaner, they&rsquo;ll typically do this for you. </p></div>
