SHYN Degreaser is highly effective at lifting grime, stains, and buildup from carpets. Whether you're spot-cleaning or using a carpet machine, here’s how to get the best results.
Always patch test a small hidden area first—especially on natural fibres like wool—to ensure the carpet reacts well.
✅ Option 1: Spot Cleaning with a Steam Cleaner
-
Dilute SHYN Degreaser 50/50 with water (never use it undiluted).
-
Spray directly onto the stained or dirty area.
-
Let it sit for 1–2 minutes to break down grime.
-
Steam clean over the top to lift both dirt and product in one go.
✅ Option 2: Cleaning with a Carpet Machine
-
Mix approx. 200ml SHYN Degreaser per 1L of boiling water (or scale up—e.g. 500ml to 2.5L).
-
Add the mix to your machine’s chemical tank.
-
Clean as usual, allowing the solution to dissolve grime as the machine extracts it.
-
Rinse the carpet by going over it again with clean water only to remove all residue and protect the fibres.
💪 For Heavily Soiled Areas
Before machine cleaning, spray a 50/50 diluted mix of SHYN Degreaser directly onto the problem areas. Let it sit for 2–5 minutes to break down heavy buildup, then steam clean or extract. This gives you a deep clean where it's needed most.
⚠️ Fabrics to Be Cautious With
Avoid spraying SHYN Degreaser directly onto:
-
Wool or wool blends – These natural fibres can shrink or discolour. Use via machine or cloth only.
-
Velvet, suede, or suede-like fabrics – These mark easily. Blot gently with a damp cloth instead of spraying.
🧼 Pro Tip: Let carpets fully dry before walking on them to prevent dirt transfer or marks.
