SuperClean degreaser is primarily designed for tough cleaning tasks, such as grimy carpets, grease-caked stovetops and mystery stained granite countertops. While it's mentioned that SuperClean degreaser is great for house cleaning, and can be used for the grimy carpets, it's essential to use it correctly on carpets to avoid damage.
How to Use SuperClean on Carpets Effectively
When using SuperClean on carpet, you should use it as a spot treatment for grease and grime. Here's how you can use it:
- Pre-test: Always test SuperClean on a small, inconspicuous area of the carpet first to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration or damage.
- Dilute: SuperClean is a powerful degreaser, so diluting it is essential. Mix it with water as directed on the product label.
- Apply: Gently apply the diluted solution to the stain, using a clean cloth or sponge.
- Blot: Avoid rubbing the stain. Instead, blot the area with a clean cloth to lift the stain.
- Rinse: Once the stain has lifted, rinse the area with clean water, then blot dry.
When to Avoid Using SuperClean on Carpets
Although SuperClean can be used on carpets, you should consider these factors:
- Delicate Carpets: Avoid using SuperClean on delicate or antique carpets.
- Large Areas: Don’t apply SuperClean to large areas as it might damage the carpet.
- Colorfastness: Always test before full application due to possible color alteration.
Alternative Carpet Cleaning Methods

- Commercial Carpet Cleaners: Use carpet-specific cleaning solutions that are designed for safe and effective cleaning.
- Steam Cleaning: Steam cleaning can be a great option for deep cleaning without using harsh chemicals.
- Professional Cleaning: Professional carpet cleaning services may be more suitable for particularly dirty or delicate carpets.
