Among the covers for the floor, carpet is gaining more and more popularity, which is a roll material with a pile. As in the case of other coatings, proper care (regular or periodic) can significantly increase the life of.
Regular cleaning of carpet at home is the use of an ordinary vacuum cleaner two to three times a week. In this case, you need to take into account several details.
If the carpet is made of natural materials, then it cannot be cleaned with a washing vacuum cleaner, since such a coating has a long pile that is poorly ventilated, accumulates moisture and can lead to the fact that the room will always be damp. For such carpets, there is a special powder cleaning product. Once a month carpet with natural pile can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
The washing vacuum cleaner can be used to clean the carpet from artificial materials, while this must be carefully collected water, since its excesses, accumulating, can damage the solution with which the material is impregnated to increase its dirt -repellent properties.
It is not recommended to use a broom for cleaning carpets, since it is not able to take the accumulated dirt.
On the carpet, located in the hallway, you can put the rugs-gryazelovushki. Usually they are placed directly near the front door.
Periodic care is a chemical cleaning of the carpet, and it needs to be entrusted to professionals. Many cleaning companies have in their arsenal a deep -cleaning carpet service. The company’s specialists are fully cleaned by the coating of dirt and impregnate it with special means that restore mudding properties. Independent deep cleaning can make the carpet unsuitable, so do not do this yourself.
Of course, when caring for carpet, do not forget about such a problem as the occurrence of spots. There is one important rule here — you need to remove the spot as soon as possible. To combat this misfortune, there are special detergents, stain coils and solutions using ammonia or vinegar.
The spot can be removed in the following order. First, the “stain -forming” substance is removed with a spoon from the edge of the spot to the center, after which the spot is wetted with a paper towel or a clean rag, not rubbing it. Directing movements from the edge to the center, the spot is removed with the help of a sponge moistened with stains. After that, the place of the spot is washed with clean water and left until dry. These simple actions cope with all spots, except for spots from food dyes, shoe cream, rust and paints, which only specialists will help to get rid of.
