Over time, the carpet can become dirty and lose its original appearance. How can you restore the freshness and cleanliness of the carpet without using chemicals that can damage its fibers and cause allergies?
There is a simple and effective home method that will help clean your carpet from dirt without chemicals. All you need is soda, vinegar and water.
Preparing the carpet
Before you begin cleaning, you should shake the carpet well and vacuum it on both sides to remove dust and small particles of dirt.
Then you need to wet the carpet with water using a sponge or cloth. You don't need to wet the carpet too much, just make it damp.
Application of soda
The next step is to sprinkle baking soda on the carpet. Baking soda will help to remove dirt from the carpet fibers and neutralize unpleasant odors.
Spread the baking soda evenly over the entire surface of the carpet using a brush or your hands. Leave the carpet with the baking soda for 15-20 minutes to let it work.
Washing off soda
After the soda has worked, you need to wash it off the carpet. To do this, prepare a solution of vinegar and water in a 1:3 ratio. Vinegar will help remove the remains of soda and dirt, and also give the carpet shine and softness.
Dip a sponge or cloth into the solution and wipe the carpet in the direction of the grain. Then blot the carpet with a dry cloth to remove excess moisture.
Drying the carpet
The last step is to dry the carpet. To do this, hang the carpet in the sun or in a well-ventilated place.
Do not dry the carpet in other heat sources, as this may damage its fibers. Wait until the carpet is completely dry and enjoy its cleanliness and freshness.
Now you know how to clean your carpet from dirt without chemicals, using simple and affordable ingredients.
This method is suitable for all types of carpets, but it is recommended to test it on a small area of the carpet before using it to ensure that it will not damage its color and texture.
