Cleaning Tips

 

At RapidClean Illawarra, we understand that effective stain removal combines quick action and the right techniques. Whether you're dealing with everyday spills or stubborn stains, our cleaning products are designed to make your life easier.  

Spotless Carpets 

  • Quick Response is Key 

            Act swiftly when a stain occurs. Blot up excess fluids with a towel or paper hand towel to prevent the stain from setting. 

  • Handle Solid Matter 

           If there's any solid matter on the carpet, gently scoop it up with an appropriate tool. 

  • Pre-Testing and Treatment 

           Before using chemical pre-treatments, test them on a small inconspicuous carpet area. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and dilution notes. 

  • Blot, Don't Scrub 

           When treating a stain, use a blotting motion from the outside towards the center. Avoid scrubbing or brushing, as this can push the stain deeper into the carpet fibers. 

  • Know When to Seek Expert Help 

           Stop the treatment and consult a cleaning expert if you notice colour transfer from the carpet to your cloth.

What Else?

Rust Removal
Bid farewell to unsightly rust stains with our expert approach. Begin by conducting a colour fastness test. Once confirmed, apply our Rust Remover, and with the gentle magic of agitation, watch the rust disappear. Rinse with water – no need for additional neutralising chemicals.

Whispering Away: Browning, Water Marks, Mercurochrome, Berry, Gentian Violet
Embrace the battle against blemishes with our Browning Treatment. Dilute it at a ratio of 1 part to 5 parts water, pre-testing for color fastness first. Skilfully apply the diluted solution with a trigger pack, expertly agitating. No need to rinse – unless severe browning requires a second application.

Conquering the Unthinkable: Food Spills, and Vomit, Blood, Stains
Mastery over organic stains is at your fingertips. Pre-test for color fastness, and then apply Sensation as directed. Gently wash from the stain's outskirts toward the heart, followed by thorough rinsing. Regain a pristine surface with these calculated steps.

Defying the Unseen Stains
Unpredictable stains meet their match. Begin with a color fastness test, and then wield Unbelievable spray. Apply the liquid to a cloth, grant it a few moments on the stain, and then wipe from the edges towards the center with a damp cloth or sponge. Bid farewell to residue with a final rinse.

Get Rid of Stinky Odours
Reclaim your space from unpleasant odors. After removing excess soil, employ undiluted Fabrisan. Work it into the area with expertise. Once the excess is vanquished using a blotting cloth, allow drying and vacuum for a refreshing ambience.

Unveiling New Beginnings: Floor Stripping
Elevate your floor's vitality with a strategic strip. Begin by clearing away dust, dirt, and grit. Dilute stripping emulsion per manufacturer's guidelines. Apply liberally and wait – no more than 5 minutes. Incorporate the scrub with gusto, machine or manual, and remember to address edges and corners. Clear the slate with a rinse, and let your floor bask in the glory of a complete dry.
