This isn’t surprising, as some vacuum belts spin more than 100,000 times per minute!

Step 3: Clean the Stain With Diluted Washing Up Liquid.Washing up liquid is a brilliant tool for cleaning carpet stains – especially as most people already have it in their cupboard..

Mix a tablespoon of washing up liquid with 500ml of.water.. Use a fresh clean cloth to sponge the washing up solution onto the stain..Allow the washing up solution a few minutes to sit in the carpet.

For stubborn stains, you may need to wait up to 15 minutes.. Blot up the cleaning solution with a clean cloth.This removes both the washing up liquid solution and ketchup that’s been pulled out of the carpet fibres..

Make sure you always test new cleaning products for discolouration on a small patch of inconspicuous carpet before using it on a larger area..

Step 4: Repeat Until the Stain Has Been Removed.Fill the filter with cold water (open side up,) then gently rotate the filter to agitate any caught debris before tipping away the water.

Do not use hot water..Once again fill the filter with cold water, then put your hand over the top and gently shake.

Tip away the water..Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the water runs clear.
