After you’ve purchased a brand new carpet shampooer, it’s best to keep a stock of carpet shampoo on hand, so you’re ready to go at a moment’s notice. But with so many different shampoos on the market, how do you select the one that’s right for you?

Some manufacturers of carpet shampooers also sell their own branded carpet cleaner solution, so that’s one option. Another is to select your shampoo based on the type of cleaning that’s required, regardless of brand. For example, you can purchase shampoos that are designed to remove everyday odours, shampoos designed for homes with pets, formulas that protect your carpet from future stains, or those that remove allergens from carpet fibres.

Godfreys has a great range of high quality carpet stain remover shampoos, but before we check them out, let’s answer a question asked by many of our customers - how often should you shampoo your carpet?

It’s a good idea to shampoo your carpets every year even if they don’t look dirty or stained, because there’s plenty of dirt you can’t see hidden deep within the pile. With kids, pets and heavy traffic in your home, it’s likely you’ll be able to see when your carpets need a good clean. But even if it looks clean at first glance, you’ll be surprised by the colour of the water at the end!
