We always recommend using a Pre Spray before using your machine to shampoo and deep clean. Pre Sprays lift dirt and stains ready for easy extraction and make a big difference to the performance of cleaning. Try our Pre Spray No.1, which is suitable for all carpet types.
Carpet Shampoo Dilution Rates
Rug Doctor solutions have a low dilution rate, meaning you need a higher amount of solution compared to water.
Our carpet shampoos have a high dilution rate, which means only a small amount of our concentrated product is needed with water.
Our Carpet Shampoos have the following two dilution rates, the correct one should be chosen according to the machine you have:
For a Carpet cleaner machine with 1 tank:
Machines with 1 tank for both water and carpet shampoo, use 10ml of Clean & Deodorise with every 1 Litre of clean, warm water.
For a Carpet cleaner machine with 2 tanks:
Machines with separate tanks for clean water and cleaning solution, dilute Clean & Deodorise 50:50 in the solution tank e.g. fill up the tank halfway with water and the rest with Clean & Deodorise.
