The carpet is still one of the favorite decor items in the interior. With carpets, the room looks more warm and cozy. But at the same time, these products are excellent dust collectors, so they need to be cleaned periodically. Using a vacuum cleaner, you can get rid of excess dust that accumulates in the pile of the carpet. In addition, at least once a year, it is recommended that the carpet be knocked out on the street. But do not do this by hanging the product on a pipe, rope or fence: if you knock it out in this way, the rug will eventually collapse and become worthless. Therefore, our grandmothers, who knew how to clean the carpet with the help of snow, also did the right thing. This is ideal - roll it down in the snow and “walk” it well with a cracker.
Unfortunately, in modern conditions there is not always time and opportunity to carry out such manipulations. In addition, with the help of snow, it is not always possible to clean the spots formed on the carpet as a result of falling greasy food or walking on it with dirty dogs. Dry cleaning is also "hands do not reach." Therefore, here we will share secrets on how to clean a carpet at home.
For example, salt water can help bring bright colors back to the product with a small amount of citric acid added to it. This solution is applied to the brush, which cleans the carpet. But remember that it is impossible to clean this product against pile. How to clean the carpet in another way? Another method is as follows: type in a bucket of warm water and dissolve in it two tablespoons of ordinary washing powder and one of ammonia. Dampen a cloth or a soft brush in the solution and wipe the carpet with it, then wipe the product with a dry cloth. Make sure that its base is not wet. After the carpet dries, you can use it.
And here is another old way to clean the carpet: you need to take ordinary tea, brewed 3-4 times. If the tea leaves are dried, they need to be moistened with water. We scatter these wet teas over the entire carpet and leave for some time so that they collect all the rubbish on themselves and trap the dust, preventing it from rising. After that, we sweep the tea off the rug with an ordinary broom and enjoy a clean and again bright, fluffy product.
But how to clean the carpet from old stains. To do this, you will need to prepare a mixture of soap and gasoline. It is prepared as follows: 10 parts of soap are dissolved in a small amount of water and one part of gasoline is added there. If necessary, this emulsion can be slightly diluted with water. It is rubbed into contaminated places. The usual greasy stain is well removed with clean gasoline or a mixture in equal proportions of water and ammonia.
If you have a carpet on the floor, it requires more careful care than conventional carpets. Whether it will be dry or wet, depends on what basis the carpet is based on. If it is made from natural jute or glue, then only dry cleaning is used: with a broom, brush, vacuum cleaner. If the base is latex based, foamed rubber or synthetic jute, then you can clean it with a damp method, including using a washing vacuum cleaner. However, excessive wetting of the pile should still be avoided so as not to spoil the product.
If you do not want to take risks, then only dry cleaning of the carpet can help you. You can call the dry cleaning representatives at home, and they will professionally tidy up any carpet product that you point to. In addition, not only a carpet or carpet can be cleaned, but also upholstered furniture, blinds, curtains, a car interior, etc. In addition, with the help of professional tools you can remove not only dust and dirt, but also a lot of all sorts of bacteria, insects with their larvae and other "evil spirits", the presence of which you may not even suspect.
