As is known, carpets also differ in the length of their pile - there are floor coverings with short, medium and long pile.
This indicator determines how exactly a particular product should be cleaned.
Carpets with pile up to 5 mm
Weekly cleaning with a vacuum cleaner will help to keep such rugs in order.
If you notice a stain on the surface, try to remove it using mild detergents.
Carpets with pile from 5 to 15 mm
To clean such a product, it is recommended to give it a “snow bath”.
If the need for cleaning arises in the middle of summer, when there is no snow to be found, use products suitable for the material from which the carpet is made.
Carpets with pile from 15 mm
Here, as in other cases, it is necessary to clean with a vacuum cleaner. Special shampoos should be used at least once a season (more often, depending on the dirtiness).
A folk remedy consisting of a mixture of soda and salt has proven itself well. After dry treatment, spray the floor covering with water from a spray bottle, and if there are stains on the carpet, apply coarse salt to them and vacuum the surface again.
