Hello World! Welcome Friends! Cleaning your carpets at home on your own? You are probably wondering where to begin. You have already taken out your vacuum cleaner but you are not sure whether to first beat the carpet a little to get the dust out or just to plug in the vacuum cleaner and start with it already. Here are a few tips from the experts that can help you start:
1. Start Vacuuming
Unless you have a large lawn in front of your house, it is never a good idea to beat your carpet with a broom or stick. If you have a small home, you can start with your vacuum cleaner right away. Make sure to move the vacuum cleaner only in one direction unless you want friction to ruin the fibers of the carpet. Do it at least twice a month to make sure that your carpets are free of dirt always.
2. Not Too Much Water
Hand washing your carpet is a good idea and also make sure that you do not use a detergent that results in too much foam. It is also never advised to use too much water. If you make any of these mistakes, you would probably be punishing your hands twisting and wrenching the water out of your carpet all day long.
3. Go Green
Many homeowners now understand the importance of going green when it comes to washing their carpets. Most reputable carpet cleaning companies in your city would also recommend you to invest in a set of plant-based cleaning solutions and nothing else. These solutions and detergents do not leave any harmful residue behind, are easier to clean, don’t make a mess of your house, and don’t have any strong smells. The best part is they don’t cause allergies or reactions either.
4. What About Those Stubborn Stains?
If you have any curry or wine stains on your carpet, the only way you are going to get them out is by dabbing them with a cotton cloth. Any solid particles that you have from the spilled curry should be picked up with the help of a spatula. Remember, absolutely no rubbing! In case of any wine spills, grab a paper towel or a cotton cloth and dab the stain out. Do this immediately without any delay if you don’t want your fibers to soak in all the sugary colorful liquid. If you live in LA, for example, look up professional carpet cleaning in Los Angeles to help you out with stubborn stains. Professionals are trained and equipped to handle tough stains and will ensure that your carpet looks as good as new.
5. Use of Deodorizers Should Be Limited
This is a no-brainer. You should not use deodorizers too often anyway. It is always better to clean the fibers of your carpet instead of covering the stench with another strong fragrance. In the end, they both are going to mix and it will become unbearable for you to stay in the same room as your carpet. When calling in a professional carpet cleaning service, make sure to ask them about the products they use and if they have any deodorizers in their arsenal. You can check out this company or do some research online to find a reputable and environmentally-friendly cleaning service. Plus, it is always better to prevent stains and bad odor from happening by taking proper care of your carpets on a regular basis.
Final Thoughts
The most effective tip to keep in mind is never to delay cleaning your carpets at all. The moment you notice a spill, clean it up. If you notice any mess, take out the vacuum cleaner. Be prepared to tend to your carpets whenever they need you.
