Sometimes cleaning carpets with water and soap just isn't an option or desired. This is a very popular option for people who don't want to use a water based carpet cleaning machine. With the SEBO DUO-P long drying times and the chance of mould is no longer a possibility. The German made product is easy to use and is very effective at removing dirt and stains from most carpets and even upholstery. The directions are simple; after you've vacuumed simply spread the dry cleaning powder over the carpeted area to be cleaned and scrub in with a brush. This will allow the damp compound to get deep down into the carpet and once dry (approx 30 min) vacuum up with your regular vacuum. This process is a great way to clean most carpet types and it's even WoolSafe Approved.
