Ever spilled your cream carpet coffee? This is a moment of emotional turmoil that makes you want to find answers. All carpeted floors have spills, pet messes and mysterious stains. But fret not! Take these tips to heart and learn some clever tricks for removing grime. View the content.
Let’s take a look at the cleaning equipment you have. You should start by using a powerful vacuum cleaner. You can keep dirt, crumbs and dust to a minimum by vacuuming the carpet every week. You should move your couch every now and then. There is probably an entire eco-system there.
Now let’s get to the stains. Be quick. For liquid spills, blot–don’t rub. Rubbing will only make the problem worse, as it pushes liquids deeper into the fabric. Use a sterile, white cloth to avoid color transfer. It is also possible to use the classic baking soda trick. Sprinkle baking soda on the new stain and wait for some time before vacuuming. This method works wonders to eliminate odors.
No one wants their home to smell like a high school locker. Sprinkle baking soda over your carpets, then vacuum. Keep everything fresh with this simple, but effective trick. A mixture of white vinegar and water can be sprayed to remove more stubborn smells. Spritz it lightly, wait a few seconds, and then blot.
Want a deeper clean? By completing this task twice or once a year, you can rejuvenate your carpets. It gives you the feeling of a new carpet. Renting a steamer or hiring a professional will give your carpet a newness that regular cleaning can’t match. Warning: After steam cleaning make sure that the carpet is completely dried. It is important to avoid mold growth on wet carpets.
Pet Owners? Bless your souls. Your challenge has grown! The battle against hair, muddy shoes and accidents is never-ending. A vacuum with a pet-hair accessory can be a game changer. Enzyme cleaners help to break down pet stain atom by atom. It is possible to prevent the stains of your furry friends from becoming permanently etched.
Got kids? Kids bring juice boxes, crayons, and other items into the home. A small handheld vacuum can save your life. For certain stains like chocolate or wine, spot treatments are necessary. Stains can be removed with dish soap and hydrogen peroxide.
Last but not least, think about prevention. Doormats, both inside and outside, can trap much more dirt than rugs. Throw rugs protect heavily-trafficked spaces. You can ask your guests not to wear shoes inside the house. This simple method is effective in reducing wear and tears.
You need to learn this valuable lesson. Rotate your furniture at regular intervals. Heavy pieces left in the same place too long can leave permanent marks. Moving things around will help you distribute wear and damage evenly. This is an easy and inexpensive way to update the look of your home.
It may seem impossible but you can make your carpets look like new by using a few easy tricks and the correct equipment. Be quick to clean up spills. Every so often, give your carpets an intensive deep cleaning. These small steps will make it easy to maintain their appearance.
