How To Use Woolite Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner
Henrique Dantas • August 20, 2021

When it comes to keeping the comfort of your home alive, you need to keep an eye out for all the places that might seem clean on the surface but can host a ton of dirt and grime underneath.


Upholstery and carpet are two such areas that can be the hub for dirt and other elements. These can cause tons of health-related implications for you.


Here is a detailed guide on all you need to know about carpet and upholstery cleaner and how to use a Woolite cleaner for maximum cleanliness.



What is Woolite?


For all those of you who don’t know, Woolite is a fabric detergent designed so that the washing and cleaning process is always carried out gently. While it is famous for cleaning and fabric care products to cause fiber damage and piling, Woolite causes neither and cleans the garment quickly. Since it comes with gentle cleaning formula, it is just the right fit for carpets and rugs.


However, Woolite also comes with two different cleaning options. You can either clean your carpet or upholstery using the Woolite detergent or with the help of the Woolite rug stick. Down below is a detailed guide on how to use each.


Carpet cleaning methods


When it comes to carpet cleaning, there is a massive variety of options available out there. There are many options available, from using a carpet cleaning machine to liquid upholstery shampoo and carpet cleaners. There are even some shampoos for cleaning that come with a built-in applicator.


It is always advised to conduct a test clean on the corner or any of the edges of the carpet to ensure that the color doesn’t get washed off. Once you are sure that the border has passed the carpet cleaning test, you can use the product for the rest of the carpet.


A tedious and tiresome chore, carpet or upholstery cleaning requires experience and the right tools. Make sure to get in touch with professional carpet cleaners if you don’t think you can do it well yourself.


Before using Woolite Carpet

and Upholstery Cleaner


Before you jump into the dynamics of how much Woolite you should be using and how to go forth with it, the wisest option out there is to take some preventive measures. It doesn’t matter whether you’re using a Woolite carpet and upholstery cleaner or some other. One thing remains the same: you must clean up before you begin the cleaning process.


Now, when we say clean up, we don’t mean that you should get down on all fours right now, no. Instead, it would help if you started by moving any and all the furniture out of the room to have the space to move around.


Once all the furniture is out, you can then conduct a quick vacuuming session to get any dirt, pet hair, or debris out of the way. This is a crucial step because once all your soil is out of the picture, you can get the scrubbing process on the road, and there will be no hindrances in your path.

 

Cleaning Carpet and Upholstery

with Woolite Rug Stick


With the rug stick in place, you need to start by switching the green button on the lock position. This is an essential step as it will ensure that none of the cleaning solutions gets sprayed outside when you connect it to the rug stick.


Next, thoroughly shake the can and then remove the lid from it. Once done, you can insert the can in an upside-down position. This is supposed to be done so that the application end is pointed to the bottom side of the stick. You will even hear a click as it gets locked.


Now, turn the switch to the spraying position and put the stick on the rug with the upward bristles. Pull it. Cleaning foam will come out. You can move the brush back and forth over your carpet and in different directions to clean.


Let it dry, and then vacuum your rug to get rid of any dry elements. Now, get some warm water and use it for the rug rinsing process. This process is a little bit more complicated and might require assistance from experts.


Cleaning Carpet and Upholstery

with Woolite Detergent


For using the detergent, you need to start by taking one tablespoon of the detergent and mix it into warm water (around 1 gallon.) Next, take a sponge and immerse it in the water. Once the sponge is wet, brush it over the soiled areas; remember not to drench the spot thoroughly. If the stains are very stubborn, you can use a brush for scrubbing.


Let the mixture remain on the rug for at least 15 to 20 minutes once all the scrubbing has been completed. Bring in a dry and clean cloth which will be used for soaking up the leftover liquid. Let it dry, and you’re done.


Once the carpet is dry, you will be able to check if the stains are gone for good or not. If not, you can repeat the steps mentioned above.


Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning


While it might feel like carpet and upholstery cleaning is something you can do at home, and it might be true, the greater truth is that DIY projects can never provide the efficiency and cleanliness that comes with professional cleaning services.
