We want to ensure that our home is clean and tidy in every way possible. You don’t have to do much work to clean your home. Carpets are no different. Carpets are prone to dirt and marks from being used every day. Carpets can be easily cleaned to keep them looking new. You should be familiar with certain cleaning techniques to keep your carpets looking new all year.
VACUUM TENDER
Regular vacuuming is essential to keep your carpets clean and look great. You can prevent dirt and dust from sticking to your carpets, making them more difficult to clean. Carpets act as an air filter, trapping dirt, dust and pollutants. Carpets can become sandpaper in their fibres due to the amount of dirt and dust they contain. Regular vacuuming can prolong the carpet’s life span and keep them clean.
VACUUM LOWLY
Take your time when vacuuming. You don’t want to rush your chores. However, if you vacuum too fast, your vacuum won’t have enough time to remove the dirt and dust from the carpet. Use the vacuum slowly and in different directions. The best way to use the vacuum is with overlapping strokes. You can count slowly to three while moving forwards and backwards.
TREAT STAINS ASAP
Have you ever sipped wine? The puppy is not toilet-trained, yet It is important to immediately clean up any carpet stains or marks that may have occurred from spillages. It is best to clean the stain as soon as possible. Most carpets are resistant to liquids so that you can blot the spill, which will not mark the carpet. Use non-toxic solutions such as soda water to get rid of stains before you resort to using store-bought chemicals. If you purchase a carpet cleaner, make sure to read the directions.
VACUUMS FOR YOUR NEEDS
Do not immediately choose the most expensive vacuum cleaner if you are searching for a new vacuum. While some vacuum cleaners can be very effective at their job, you don’t necessarily need to spend much money. Consider your vacuuming needs and choose the right vacuum for you. Do you have pets that shed a lot? Make sure you get one with multiple attachments for picking up pet hair. Do you have stairs? Do you have stairs?
MAINTAINING YOUR VACUUM
Maintaining your vacuum is important if you use it multiple times per week. Regularly clean the filters, inspect pipes and hoses for damage or breakage, and empty the bag or canister regularly. Some vacuums require you to change the filters, while others can be cleaned and re-used. If you are unsure, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and watch out for any signs of damage.
DEODORANT YOUR CARPET
Are you starting to notice a lingering odour in your carpets? If your carpets have not been professionally cleaned recently, they may be experiencing an unpleasant odour. There is an easy solution. There is no need to spend much on carpet deodorizers at the store. Baking soda is one of the best methods to clean your carpet. Baking soda can be used or mixed with essential oils like orange or peppermint. Mix it well and then put it in a shaker or canister, such as an old parmesan cheese container. Spread the mixture on your carpets, and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. You can vacuum it up once more, and your carpets will smell fresh.
DON’T LET IT DAMP
Use a cleaner, or soda water, to clean up any spills or stains. Dry the area immediately after cleaning. The carpet can become mouldy if it is left damp. This is especially true if the carpet is under its surface. Mould can cause allergy flare-ups, asthma attacks, and other health problems such as asthma. Blot any spillages immediately after they are removed. Use a dry, clean cloth to remove as much moisture as possible if it is not possible, open windows and doors to ventilate the area.
GET A PROFESSIONAL
A professional carpet cleaner can come to your home and thoroughly clean your carpets at least once a year. A professional carpet cleaner can clean your carpets and make them smell and look fresh. Even though they might be damp for a while, your carpets can last many years. You can leave the carpet rental machines at your local supermarket. Some carpet cleaning machines require special chemicals. These can leave behind dirt-attracting residue. It is better to hire a professional to do the job.
