It is most unfortunate that carpet, which is kind of a noticeable area of the home, can be so quick to soil but difficult to clean. In fact many homeowners often call on professionals to do their carpet cleaning tasks for them. In our daily lives however we should all be so lucky if we could schedule professional carpet cleaning each time we had to entertain company. So what should you do if your carpet needs to be cleaned right away because your company will be arriving in a couple of hours?

If time is of the essence and a dirty carpet is present, one thing you can try for fast and easy cleaning is to apply a powdered carpet cleaner. This takes away the need for water, steam, or any liquid component that could involve drying time. So if your carpet has a pathway of dirt on it just sprinkle the powdered cleanser on the area and work the powder into the carpet by using a brush. Wait around thirty minutes then vacuum the residue off.

A very practical method for cleaning an area rug quickly is by using a vacuum cleaner. Vacuum the top of the rug. Then simply flip the rug over and vacuum that side. Vacuuming the underside should loosen more dirt from the top. Finish off cleaning by vacuuming the top once again.

Should you be lucky enough to have more time on your hands then you can utilize a little bit of liquid to clean the carpet more thoroughly. In a spray bottle mix one cup warm water as well as ¼ teaspoon dishwashing liquid. Then grab a different spray bottle and fill it with just cold water. Unlike other carpet cleaning methods do not spray the dishwashing solution on the carpet, spray it on a rag. Then dab the dirty spots on the carpet with the cloth that has the dishwashing solution. As the stain starts to break down blot it with a clean cloth. Keep repeating the process until the area is clean. To rinse away the soap, apply cold water to a cloth and blot the just cleaned area with it. Then simply, dry the area with a clean towel. To dry the carpet faster lay several paper towels on the area you wish to dry then put a heavy object on it. This will soak up left over wetness a lot faster. When you finally remove the paper towels fluff the carpet strands.
