How to Clean a Milliken Carpet

Milliken carpets provide a heavy-duty durable flooring that still remains attractive and affordable, making it the perfect option for many homes and office spaces. The flooring does not become easily damaged from heavy traffic, is heavily compressed and resistant to stains and dirt collection and can also be cleaned with ease. By incorporating a regular cleaning routine into your cleaning cycle, you can keep the Milliken carpet looking its best for many years.

Things You'll Need

• Vacuum cleaner

Instructions

1. Vacuum the carpet regularly to collect all loose dirt and debris. Vacuum slowly, allowing the vacuum to thoroughly clean the entire carpeting.

2. Sprinkle a dusting of baking soda over the carpet for a deodorizing agent. The baking soda will absorb odors as well as any moisture in the carpeting that could potentially lead to mildew development.

3. Let the baking soda sit for 20 minutes, and vacuum once more to collect the baking soda residue.

4. Mix equal parts of water and white vinegar in a spray bottle, which will create a disinfectant spray safe for the carpet.

5. Spray the diluted vinegar solution over the carpeting to disinfectant and kill any bacteria that is harboring in the carpet.
