How do you go around cleaning a carpet and getting it as nice and clean as the day you first rolled it out?
Maintain your carpet well
If you want to avoid regular major maintenance for your carpet, use the vacuum cleaner! Ideally, you vacuum twice a week to remove all dust and other dirt. If your carpet can handle it, treat it with a brush: it’s more effective, but it can damage a brittle carpet. Also, turn it over now, so you can also vacuum the side in contact with the floor.
Remember that taking care of your carpet requires daily attention: the less it gets dirty, the less you need to clean it. Therefore, try to avoid walking over it with shoes that come directly from outside and do not eat on the carpet so that crumbs do not fall on it.
Cleaning and washing carpets
If you have a steam cleaner, you can use it to clean your carpet: the steam will clean your carpet fiber-deep. However, this cleaning method is not suitable for delicate natural fiber rugs.
If you don’t have a steam cleaner, you can choose from other efficient cleaning methods:
- Sparkling water and baking soda. Dampen your carpet with sparkling water and rub the most heavily soiled areas with a sponge. Wait about half an hour before sprinkling the rug with baking soda. When everything is dry, go over it with the vacuum cleaner.
- Potato peelings. Make an infusion of potato peelings in boiling water (the infusion should be as concentrated as possible). Clean your carpet with a sponge that you regularly moisten in this infusion. Leave for a few hours and rinse with clean water and a clean cloth.
- White vinegar and liquid dishwashing liquid. To get a stain out of your carpet, rub it with a sponge dampened in white vinegar. Let dry for twenty minutes, then rub again, but this time with water and liquid dish soap. Rinse with clean water and wipe the dry area.
Dry cleaning for a carpet
If your carpet is very brittle and it is impossible to get it wet and rub it even less, call a professional carpet cleaner or use the natural clay powder Terre de Sommières that you can find at a DIY store. Sprinkle the entire carpet with this clay powder after you have vacuumed it well. Leave on overnight so the clay powder can absorb like dirt, then vacuum again the next day.
Removing bad odors from carpet
It can happen that a carpet gives off a bad smell, even after you have cleaned it. To definitively make short work of that (and not just mask the smell), you can use a Freshener Spray. You simply spray this product on the carpet or other textiles to bring a pleasantly fresh scent into the room.
