Carpet cleaning safety, when using chemicals
Most carpet care products are relatively safe to use, and have only a
small impact on the environment. However, some of these products do
contain toxic chemicals that are harmful both to the person who uses
them and to the people who are around those area cleaned.
 Use
mild products for regular daily cleaning.
Use stronger products only for weekly deep cleaning.
Avoid ingredients that are poisonous or that harm the environment.
Wear protective gloves and goggles when mixing or using any cleaning
products.
It is sometimes better to clean
your carpets more frequently since carpets that are cleaned less often
require more and stronger chemicals. Use the stronger chemicals
sparingly and carefully. Some tips
when using chemicals to clean carpet:
Corrosive chemicals (acids or caustics) can blind you in seconds.
Always wear goggles to protect your eyes.
Corrosives can also damage your skin and leave scars.
Wear gloves to protect your hands.
Some poisonous chemicals absorb through your skin.
Always wear gloves when using products containing glycol ethers or
ethanolamines.
Some poisonous chemicals are easily inhaled.
Be sure that your work area has enough ventilation.
Mixing different products together can create poisonous chemicals.
Avoid mixing products, and be sure to rinse out work buckets after each
use.
