You're not alone. You're certainly not the only one. Rugs can take a beating from spilled wine, muddy boots, pet accidents. The carpet cleaning northern beaches collect everything. But do not worry! But don't worry!
Grab your vacuum cleaner. You'll need it for this mission. Vacuuming regularly will prevent dirt from getting deep into the fabric fibers. Make it a routine to vacuum areas with more traffic than other spots.
Do you have stains on your clothes? Do you have stains? Let's take them on. If you have a liquid spill, use a clean paper towel or cloth to blot the area. Do not rub. Rubbing only spreads out the spill and drives it deeper into the fibers of the carpet. Mix one part white vinegar and two parts water to spray on a stubborn stain like red wine, coffee or tea. Allow it to sit for several minutes before blotting.
Fur is a common problem for pet owners. Rubber squeegees are a great way to collect pet hair before vacuuming. They're surprisingly efficient! If Fido made an accident, you can use a pet stain enzyme cleaner to remove the odor and break down any proteins.
You may find yourself in a sticky situation, such as finding chewing-gum stuck to your carpet. Don't panic! Freeze the gum using ice cubes and gently scrape off the hardened gum with a butter blade.
Feeling fancy? Baking soda will help you to refresh your carpet. Sprinkle baking soda over your carpet liberally and allow it to sit for at minimum 15 minutes, or overnight if possible. After vacuuming thoroughly, remove all baking soda from your carpet and any trapped odors.
We'll now discuss deep cleaning, a task that is often neglected but that can be incredibly satisfying when completed correctly. It's easier to rent a Steam Cleaner than try and assemble IKEA Furniture without any instructions. Follow the machine's instructions and mix hot water with a suitable cleaning solution.
Before you steam clean your entire carpet, test it first on a hidden part to see if there are any adverse reactions or discolorations.
Do you have areas with high traffic that are looking more worn-out than others? The area rugs come in handy! The rugs not only add to the decor but also protect those areas.
You shouldn't neglect maintenance in between deep cleanings. You should spot-clean spills immediately, rotate your furniture periodically to avoid uneven wear patterns and place mats near the entrance to reduce dirt tracked into the house.
DIY lovers can make a paste of equal parts vinegar, salt and borax to remove tough stains. Use gloves to apply this mixture directly onto the problem areas (because no one wants borax on their hands). Allow the mixture to dry completely before vacuuming it up.
If you are tempted by the commercial cleaners labeled as "Magic Carpet Cleaner" because of your enthusiasm or desperation, be careful. Some chemicals may damage delicate fibers or cause residues to attract more dirt.
Consistency is key. Weekly cleaning sessions are better than sporadic ones.
You now have the perfect guide to revive your old carpets and save money. Start today! A clean, sparkling carpet is literally just a few feet away.
