You love to juggle legs, children, dogs and other things in the morning find here, while you drink coffee. You’ve probably seen your carpets in a better time. Ah, the carpets. Our carpets are unsung heros. The carpets are the victims of every accident. You will find hairs, crumbs and stains. Let’s look at the basics of carpet cleaning today.
Imagine a weekend dawn with a soft, filtered glow filtering through the blinds. Your toes sink into a luxurious and spotless rug. Pure bliss, right? This blissful world can be hard after the spaghetti sauce of last night. We’ll break it down for you.
The eternal dilemma: DIY or professional help The Eternal Dilemma
We’ll start by debating this: Should you call the cavalry for help, or do you want to try it yourself? You should not underestimate the power that your elbows can have, along with a good cleaner. It may seem that if you do not have many fancy gadgets, you are fighting with just a toothpick. But that’s not exactly accurate.
Vacuuming as your best friend during domestic wars
They’re underrated, when it comes to vacuums! After a pet sheds, you should vacuum the house. Purchase a good vacuum cleaner, and use it with confidence. Don’t overlook the high-traffic areas. Baking soda can be sprinkled on carpets to remove unpleasant odors. You will be amazed at how well this method works. Your carpet will even smell like a fresh flower.
Stain remover: Lunch with Disaster
Stains are next on the list. Then, there are stains. Wine, coffee, ink–each demands a unique battle plan. Other cleaning agents, such as dish soap or white vinegar are also useful allies. You’ll feel like you have your own mini-chemistry laboratory. The carpet law states that you should only dab at stains and not rub them. Rubbing the stain only makes it worse, and causes you more headaches.
Steam cleaning: the Holy Grail
Steam cleaning can give your carpet the’spa-day it deserves’. This is not something that you would do weekly, but once a year. Steam cleaning rejuvenates worn out carpet fibres as well as sanitizing them. It will appear as if the carpet has been given a makeover. Renting a machine is a good idea, but make sure you read the instructions. Otherwise you might end up with a mess that’s worse than the Great Flood.
Home remedies from Grandma
Remember Grandma’s secret recipes? Your eyes shouldn’t be rolling yet. Mixing hydrogen peroxide with dish soap and some water can work wonders on greasy areas. You should test on a small part first. Your carpet might turn into zebra strips.
Special Ops for Pet Owners
Pet owners are very serious about carpet maintenance. Regular vacuuming won’t suffice. If you are looking to remove fur from your pets, then invest in a pet hair brush or a hair-removing product. Enzymatic cleaning products are great for removing odors. These products do not just neutralize the smell, but also cover it. Fancy, huh?
Mud Patrol in Winter and Rain

Once you convince your family members to join Mud Patrol you’ve won half the battle. Plus, you will keep your floors clean.
Maintenance is not a Sprint but a Marathon
Regular maintenance of your vehicle may seem tiresome, but it’s essential. You can make it a tradition to set aside a day every year. Weekly and biweekly attention will be easier than dealing with six-month carpet mess.
Let’s explore the confusing world of carpet maintenance. With a few simple tips, it is possible to take care of your carpet. Even the carpet needs to be treated from time-to-time. The carpet is a silent memory keeper, both dirty and clean.
