I am in need of a carpet rake. I have friese carpeting. It is about an inch long and and very very thick. I have a lot of matting in the high traffic areas and I think a carpet rake would help. I looked online though and the ones I found all seem to have tines that are very close together. I don't think it would get down far enough to pull anything up. Has anyone had much experience with these rakes or know another trick to get the carpet to lift. My carpet is only a year old and the high traffic areas look like my mother in laws 20
The Carpet Rake enables you to spread your carpet treatment evenly and deeply into your carpet or area rug to reach the most allergens possible. The carpet treatment powder needs to get into the carpet fibers to reach the dust mite allergen, pet allergen, and any other allergens that may have settled into the carpet. Using this specially designed rake makes it easy to apply Acarosan and X-Mite powdered carpet rake treatments. The rake has a 3- part 54 handle. It is 12 wide and 2 deep, so it makes quick work of just about any carpet rake.
The carpet rake, also known as a carpet groomer, is a valuable carpet cleaning tool. When a carpet is wet, it brings the nap up for even drying. Professional carpet cleaners use rakes as wide as 18 inches to agitate carpets prior to cleaning as well as to work-in fabric protector and anti-static treatment chemicals during post cleaning wrap-up. Home owners favor the 12-inch-wide models. They fit easily in pantries and are less cumbersome to use. According to Groom Industries Inc., a Salt Lake City manufacturer of carpet rakes, raking a carpet prior to maintenance vacuuming will loosen embedded dirt for a more efficient cleaning, while post vacuum raking gives carpets that like new look.=)
That long shag carpeting is making a comeback, isn't it! Years ago my aunt used a carpet rake that looked alot like the bamboo lawn rakes you can buy at any hardware or home supply store.
