This is how you get the perfectly cleaned carpet

A rug can be a real focal point in any room, but it also requires regular care and cleaning to keep it clean and hygienic. In this article we will show you how to thoroughly and effectively clean your carpet to keep it in the best condition.

Why is it important to clean your carpet?

Carpets can absorb a variety of contaminants, such as dust, dirt, allergens and bacteria. If not cleaned regularly, these contaminants can lead to unpleasant odors, poor air quality and even health problems. In addition, a lack of cleaning can also lead to a reduction in the life of the carpet.

Which cleaning method is the best?

There are several methods of cleaning carpets, including vacuuming, shampooing, steam cleaning, and dry cleaning. The best method depends on your carpet type, how dirty it is, and personal preference.

Vacuum cleaning

Vacuuming is the most important carpet care you can do yourself. It removes dust and dirt and prevents dirt from getting stuck in the carpet fibers. Vacuum at least once a week and make sure to clean hard-to-reach areas.

Remove stains

If a stain develops on the carpet, it is important to remove it immediately. Use a clean cloth and apply the cleaning solution to the stain. Gently rub the stain and blot with a clean cloth. Repeat the process until the stain is completely removed.

Use a carpet cleaner

Use a carpet cleaner to remove stubborn stains and dirt. Choose a cleaner that is appropriate for the carpet type. Apply the cleaner to the carpet and let it work. Then use a carpet cleaner to remove the cleaner and dry the carpet.

Steam cleaning

Steam cleaning is a method of removing dirt, dust and stains from carpets. This method is effective and environmentally friendly because it does not use chemical cleaning agents. The steam penetrates deep into the carpet and loosens the dirt and dust stuck deep in the fabric. The steam is then picked up, along with the dirt, by a suction tube fitted directly behind the steam jet.

Dry cleaning

Dry cleaning is a method that uses special detergents and machines to remove dirt from the carpet. It is a gentle cleaning method suitable for delicate carpets.
