The fluff of carpets is easy to accumulate dust, especially long-haired carpets such as wool carpets. Vacuum cleaner is a good helper to deal with carpet dust.

At present, ordinary household vacuum cleaners are generally equipped with multiple brush heads, which can be used to clean carpets, but they can only be cleaned simply, but not deeply.

For families with more carpets in the living room and larger carpets, it is suggested to equip them with a special carpet vacuum cleaner with vertical roller brush or a carpet cleaner with three-in-one water spray roller brush for cleaning and suction. Vacuuming 1-2 times a week can effectively inhibit the accumulation of dust mites.

No.2, for stains.

A large area of carpet will inevitably be stained with all kinds of stains. Different stains have different decontamination methods. Let's start with three commonly used ones.

Dripping drinks can generally be removed as long as the water is absorbed with a paper towel in time and then gently wiped with a dry cloth dipped in vinegar.

Edible oil stains that are relatively troublesome to remove can only be completely removed by absorbing volatile solvents such as alcohol with cotton swabs, except for drying them with paper towels.

Carpets with wine stains and short hairs can be washed with water, but if they are wool or silk, it is best to wash them with oxalic acid.

Third, aiming at peculiar smell.

Newly bought carpets generally have a pungent smell, which can be eliminated with warm water and vinegar.

Add 4 cups of vinegar-soaked towel in 4 warm boiled water, wring out the towel, gently wipe the carpet, and finally put the carpet in a ventilated place to dry to eliminate the odor. This method can also be used to eliminate pet odor and foot odor.

Fourth, disinfection.

The carpet at home is warm and soft, which can be said to be a hotbed of bacteria. At present, there are about two effective and commonly used carpet sterilization methods.

Disinfectant sterilization This method is to use a cleaning machine combined with disinfectant to kill bacteria on the carpet. After vacuuming, spray disinfection water evenly on the carpet 15 minutes, then brush it again, and finally suck it dry.

This steam sterilization method requires special steam sauna carpet cleaner, which can turn water into 200 degrees Fahrenheit, separate dirt with high temperature and high pressure, and sterilize the carpet at high temperature.

The disinfection of carpets is closely related to the health of family members. If you have pets at home, disinfect the carpet more frequently.

Fifth, maintenance

Carpets will be worn to varying degrees because they are trampled for a long time during use. For a carpet with beautiful color and comfortable material, the following two maintenance measures can prolong its service life and maintain its color and feel.

Color renovation

To turn over the old and new carpets, we must first apply the above cleaning methods to the right medicine, and clean the carpets first. Then sprinkle a small amount of salt evenly on the carpet one night in advance, keep it for one night, and dust it off with a clean wet rag the next morning. Doing this 2-3 times will restore the color of the carpet to varying degrees.

Indentation repair

The first thing to note is that it is best to change the position of the carpet after a period of use to make it wear evenly.

Secondly, for places with wear and indentation, you can choose to steam, and use steam or hot towels generated by the iron to gently jump over the upper layer of the carpet surface. Be careful not to directly touch the carpet to avoid fiber melting, which will help to restore the indentation.

If your carpet needs to be temporarily stored, remember to sprinkle some insect repellent on the carpet first, roll it up in a plastic bag and put it in a ventilated and dry place. Remember not to store it in the open air, or your beloved carpet may become food for insects in the coming year.
