Carpet advice – spots and spills…

HOST Sponges Cleaner – a dry carpet cleaner that dissolves, absorbs and traps spots,  soil and odours as it cleans.

HOST Pre-Clean Mist – a specially formulated multipurpose detergent.

HOST Liquid Spot Remover – a safe solvent for any carpet type.

Household Remedies…

Solvent – For oil based paint, check the label on the paint can for a specific thinner or solvent.

Vinegar Solution – Mix 1/4 cup white vinegar with 1/4 cup water.

Ammonia Solution – Mix one-tablespoon clear household ammonia with 1/2 cup water. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection. Read and follow any instructions.

Caution with Household Remedies…

Test for colour fastness by dampening a white blotting towel with the cleaning agent. Blot an area (2” x 2”) in an inconspicuous location. Look for any colour transfer onto the white towel or any change of colour on the carpet. Never apply cleaning agents directly to the carpet. Important: The residue from household remedies needs to be removed to prevent rapid resoiling.

Here’s how to use HOST as poultice on Carpet…

Pack the area with a generous amount of HOST Sponges Cleaner. Do not place anything over the HOST Sponges Cleaner. Allow the area to dry completely. This may take 24-48 hours. Vacuum thoroughly. HOST Sponges Cleaner does not leave a sticky detergent residue. Use this idea with care on Natural Flooring Coverings and not on Jute Floorcoverings
