Though the exact timing of the cleaning depends on the length of your carpet, generally it doesn’t take more than 5-8 minutes on an average form a carpet.

Use Iron to remove stains
If you ask any cleaning services Singapore, they will tell you how useful it is to get rid of stains with an Iron.
But, don’t try to Iron the surface directly as you have to remove the hard particles first. After that, mix vinegar and water at a 1:3 ratio and then apply it to the stained areas of your carpet. After 5-10 minutes, go through that area using an iron with a soft towel beneath it to remove the stains effectively.
