A fluffy carpet is an essential “attribute” of a sunny nursery or a cozy living room.
The only problem is that during use, the pile on the carpet can become crushed for various reasons, causing the floor covering to lose its attractive appearance.
Today we will tell you about three effective methods that will help extend the life of any product.
Solution
For this method, you will need to prepare a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, soda and liquid soap - all components should be taken in equal volumes - and dissolve it in a liter of water at room temperature.
Spread the solution over the carpet, which should be vacuumed beforehand, wait until it dries and use a stiff brush to lift the pile up, after which it remains to vacuum the carpet again.
Important: this method requires extreme care, as it can change the color of the coating.
Steam
This time you don't need to prepare anything, you'll only need an iron with a steam function. Comb the pile, then direct a stream of steam at it for 30 seconds, holding the iron at a distance of 7-10 cm.
What you have done will have to be repeated 5-6 times.
Hair dryer
The principle of operation is similar to the previous one: the pile needs to be “loosened”, then sprayed with water and dried with a stream of hot air coming from a hair dryer.
Use your hand to help the pile on the carpet take the position you want.
