How to clean carpets without taking them to the dry cleaners? It is possible to do it at home and it is also quite simple. Here is how.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Present in many homes, carpets are useful not only as decorative items, but also to insulate the floor and keep the domestic environments warmer. Often, however,  washing a carpet can become a problem<\/strong>  and a trip to the laundromat is necessary. But perhaps not everyone knows that there is a method to dry clean carpets and avoid the laundry. Let’s see how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carpets in the home, how to take care of them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether they are beautiful and antique or modern and trendy,  every rug should be properly treated and kept clean<\/strong>  . It is certainly necessary to take care of this piece of furniture on a daily basis, because due to its composition and, last but not least, the use for which it is intended,  it tends to accumulate dust and get dirty very easily<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"cleaning<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays  we find rugs for all rooms in the house<\/strong>  , whether in the bathroom, kitchen, living room or bedroom, which obviously differ from each other in their typology depending on the use.
A bathroom or kitchen rug, for example, will have a non-slip backing and will probably have a shorter pile.
So  how do you keep a rug clean and take care of it properly<\/strong>  ? Of course, what we can do is clean it periodically with a vacuum cleaner to prevent the accumulation of mites and dust, but the rug also needs regular cleaning. And if taking it to the laundry every now and then is not only a nuisance but also expensive,  let’s see how to solve it independently at home<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to clean carpets at home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In these times, when saving is essential for a large part of Italian families, even  taking a carpet to the laundry can be a cost that many would prefer to avoid<\/strong>  . Undoubtedly, however, the carpet is a piece of furniture that needs cleaning. So, how to do it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use a type of wash called \u201cdry\u201d, which involves  using products without the need for rinsing<\/strong>  . In our case, it will be enough to use baking soda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This ingredient is especially indicated for cleaning as it is an excellent disinfectant that absorbs odors, moisture and grease stains and  allows for deep cleaning of fabrics<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The method of use is actually very simple, just spread the baking soda on the surface of the carpet using a sieve or a rather fine mesh strainer, so as to spray the product avoiding the formation of lumps. Once the entire carpet is covered,  leave it to act for at least two hours<\/strong>  , after which you can  vacuum up all the baking soda with a vacuum cleaner<\/strong>  . The baking soda, in addition to removing stains and sanitizing, will also retain hair, fur and dirt, as well as dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once sanitized, you can  proceed to eliminate any odors<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To do this you will need 500ml of unscented distilled water, 100ml of white vinegar and a few drops of essential oil. Pay attention to the type of essential oils you choose, make sure they are of natural origin and that their scent is suitable for the environment.
All you have to do is  mix all the ingredients in a container with the spray<\/strong>  and spray the mixture at a distance of about 40 cm from the carpet without wetting it too much. If possible, let it air dry or in any case with the windows open and  after a few hours your carpet will be clean, sanitized and scented.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
