HG carpet cleaner can thoroughly clean and remove dirt from carpet and other fabric materials. This deep carpet cleaning product can easily and effectively clean your carpet. It also fills uneven fibre surfaces with a dirt-repellent layer, to prevent dirt from returning quickly.

Walking on a synthetic carpet damages the fibres, which means they retain dirt more easily. Woollen carpets can also slowly lose their natural wool grease, making it easier for a build up of dirt. HG carpet cleaner solves this problem by filling uneven surfaces with a water-repellent layer. You can use this carpet cleaning product by hand or with any type of carpet cleaning machine, like a steam cleaner.

For large carpet stains, we recommend HG stain remover. This spray removes stains and dirt easily and also creates a dirt-repellent layer. For especially stubborn carpet stains, such as coffee, wine, grease or chocolate, we recommend HG stain remover extra strong.

Dab soft soap onto any stains in the carpet. You can then wipe away with a wet cloth and repeat if necessary.

Approximately 90% of stains are caused by daily use, like from dirty shoes and spillages. Dirt and hair can also buildup in carpet fibres from your pets.

Taking off your shoes can reduce the amount of dirt walked into your home, however dust and dirt will still collect in your carpet. Hoovering can help remove dust, however it is not so effective at removing live dust mites and stains. For this, you should try using HG carpet cleaner, either by hand or with a steam cleaner. You should also be sure to hoover your carpet well before using a steam cleaner.
