Carpets are the very element of the interior that makes a house or apartment different from an office or a hospital.
But sometimes they cause a lot of trouble for their owners, for example, when for some reason they get wet.
What to do if you accidentally spill a whole bucket of water on your carpet? Below you will find 3 ways to deal with the problem.
Paper towels
If the problem is not so big and the wet area is not so big, try blotting the wet areas with thick paper towels.
Don't rub the paper into the pile - instead, gently press it onto the carpet, replacing it with dry paper from time to time.
By the way, paper towels can be replaced with equally effective rags made of natural fabrics. Important: this action must be carried out on both sides of the carpet.
Household appliances
Household appliances such as a hair dryer or heater can also help you speed up the drying process of your carpet.
You can also use a dehumidifier – if you have one, of course. Such a device will dry the carpet in a few hours, but do not forget to air out the house afterwards.
Finally, some housewives in similar situations use a washing vacuum cleaner, however, although it will absorb excess water, it is not able to return the product to its original dryness.
