How to clean the carpet?

Many of us cover the floor in our apartment with soft and fluffy carpets . Walking along them is nice, your feet are not freezing, and children play with pleasure on the carpet. But there are some disadvantages here, the most significant of which is the contamination of carpeting. Let's find out how to deal with it and the better to clean the carpet.

How to clean the carpet at home?

First of all, carpets need to be regularly vacuumed so that dirt and dust do not get stuck in the nap. If you are planning a general cleaning, prepare to give it a little more effort.

In addition to all kinds of chemically active substances, among which the widely advertised Vanish is the leader, there are also folk carpet cleaners, such as salt, potatoes, sauerkraut , bran or sawdust. It's easy to use them. To do this, you need to spread the selected product over the carpet (first rinse and squeeze the cabbage and grate the potatoes), and then clean the carpet with a brush. These products have the property of absorbing dirt, so the procedure should be repeated several times until the carpet is cleaned completely and another portion of cabbage, potatoes or salt will not remain clean.

Stale bread and tea leaves will help to save a dark carpet from dirt. They need to be scattered, well cleaned with a brush, and then swept away with a broom. The colors of the carpet after such procedures will become more saturated.

You can clean the carpet and soda, both in a dry way, and wet. The first is similar to the above manipulations with cabbage or tea leaves, and the second requires dissolving half a glass of baking soda in 5 liters of water and spraying the resulting solution over the carpet. After half an hour the surface should be vacuumed and dried well.

White carpet, oddly enough, can be perfectly cleaned with snow. To do this, on a frosty day, you must take out the carpet on the street and spread it with the wrong side up on the snow, which should be dry and clean. Then it is good to knock out dust from the carpet, turn it over, pour it on top of the snow and sweep it with a broom. The procedure should be repeated until the swept snow is left white.

If on the carpet after the children's games there is a plasticine stain, then, as practice shows, you can clean the carpet from pollution in two ways: cold and hot. In the first case, clay should be frozen, putting the carpet in the winter on the street or putting ice on the stain. Plasticine becomes fragile and can easily be removed from the carpet. In the second case, the stain should be heated with an iron, after putting the paper on the clay. After the clay is removed from the carpets of the carpet, this place should be washed with a soap solution.
