Many owners of fluffy carpets use the services of professional cleaners to bring the flooring to a divine appearance.

However, only those who do not yet know about a simple way to clean carpets do this, the result of which is no worse than after dry cleaning.

In order to clean the carpet yourself, you should first vacuum it.

This will collect dust and small debris that will interfere with further cleaning.

The next step is to prepare a cleaning solution based on laundry soap. A bar (or slightly smaller, depending on the size of the surface to be cleaned) should be grated and then filled with a liter of hot water.

Now mix both ingredients, then add 1.5 tablespoons of 9% vinegar to the resulting mixture.

This solution should be applied to the carpet, rubbing it thoroughly with a brush or sponge. Heavy dirt deserves special attention.

After 15-20 minutes, all that remains is to wipe the carpet with a dry cloth, and when the pile dries, the carpet needs to be vacuumed again at maximum power.
