16.10.2024 07:27
We buy carpets in the hope of getting comfort, warmth and coziness.
However, over time, even the highest quality carpet can lose its original appearance and, accordingly, the functions it previously performed.
We will tell you what to do with carpets and, conversely, what not to do so that the pile does not settle, does not fade and does not lose its attractive appearance.
When You Shouldn't Clean Your Carpet Yourself
If you own an expensive item made of natural materials, it is better not to try to clean it yourself. Since such rugs are easily damaged, entrust their care to dry cleaners who will use professional products.
How to lift flattened pile
Salt, soda, starch or bran will help restore the pile of any carpet if it has become crushed due to accumulated dust.
Sprinkle any of these products over the carpet surface, leave for 15-30 minutes, then remove with a broom or vacuum.
To more easily collect particles, you can use a brush with slightly damp, medium-hard bristles, moving in the direction of the pile and trying not to wet the carpet.
