There are many ways with which you can refresh the carpet on the house. However, you must adhere to certain rules of recommendations, as you can ruin the product.
Long hair
This carpet will be the hardest to clean. Between long, hard fibers, small debris easily gets stuck, dust accumulates. This leads to the fact that a seemingly decent carpet turns into a hotbed of germs.
Reference! Avoid using a hard brush. It is better to buy a special foamy carpet cleaner, apply and remove, following the manufacturer's recommendations exactly.
Short-haired
Not only a special chemical agent, but also cheap helpers will help remove stains and eliminate the unpleasant smell of stale synthetics here, as well as cheap improvers: soda, lemon juice, ammonia, starch, snow. But these "harmless" assistants must be handled carefully.
From natural materials
Woolen and silk products are fashionable and, unfortunately, expensive. Cleaning their upper layers at any rate can lead to a deterioration in the appearance of the product. Always follow the seller’s recommendations. For example, a silk rug may not withstand wet cleaning, it can only be treated with a gentle dry agent. Coatings from wool and sheepskin are well cleaned with a weak solution of soda.
Attention! There is an important aspect to caring for wool products: make sure that pests, that is, fungi, ticks and fleas, do not start in the thickness of the carpet.
What to apply depending on the color of the carpet
Pure dry snow remains a popular natural product. He will not cope with the old, stubborn stain, but will refresh the palace, remove dust. Another penny that can be found in any kitchen is ordinary baking soda or starch. You can either sprinkle dry carpet with these white powders, or wipe the stains with a weak soda solution. But this method is not suitable for dark flooring. Better use ammonia to cleanse it.
Soda will suit a light carpet. But acid, that is, lemon juice and a solution of vinegar, can not be processed: sloppy yellowish spots may result.
