Cleaning your carpet with an iron is a very simple and effective way to remove small stains.

To implement it, you will only need an iron, a towel, laundry soap and, of course, water.

First, you need to rub the stain with laundry soap, then wet it with water and cover it with a towel.

Next, place the heated iron on top of the towel for 5-10 seconds.

This way, the dirt from the carpet will be transferred to the towel and your carpet will be clean again.

Important note: Before trying this method on your flooring, test it on an inconspicuous area of the carpet - there is a chance that a hot iron can damage the pile.

As you might have guessed from the description of the method of cleaning a carpet with an iron, it is only suitable if we are talking about “local” contamination.

In a situation where the entire carpet needs cleaning, it makes sense to resort to the help of a vacuum cleaner, preferably a steam one - it will help you clean up quickly and without unnecessary effort.
