How and at home to clean the palace from dust, dirt and smell?

The palace (or carpet) is not just a design element, but, first of all, a wonderful warming surface that gives the room coziness. Any palace over time needs cleaning procedures. True, handing it over to dry cleaning or a car wash, where they often provide such services, is not always convenient and affordable. But this is not scary, craftsmen know how to clean the palace on their own, without spending a lot and having to move all the furniture to remove it from the floor.

What kind of cleaning is needed?

Cleaning the palace at home is not just washing on the floor. Different situations require different cleaning methods.

• With an abundance of dust and a dirty coating, thorough dry cleaning can help. Some wet methods will also help.
• If the carpet looks like an old, worn thing - you just need to refresh the color. There are recipes for this too.
• The abundance of stains from food, dyes, blood or something else is an occasion to do just stain removal. More powerful compounds are needed here.
• If a smoker lives in the house, there is a small child or a pet, unpleasant odors of smoke or urine will inevitably be absorbed into the pile. This will be a separate cleaning method.

In each of these cases, you can use both industrial products (sometimes not very cheap, but very effective), as well as proven "grandmother" recipes, the ingredients for which are more accessible to any housewife, and sometimes the result is not inferior to the effect of purchased formulations.

Vacuum it thoroughly before any type of cleaning. Such dry cleaning will greatly facilitate the subsequent process.

Get rid of dust and dirt.

If the carpet has accumulated so much dust that the vacuum cleaner cannot cope with it, it's time to tackle this issue. After all, the abundance of dust is, first of all, the presence of a strong allergen, especially dangerous for young children, asthmatics, people with respiratory diseases.

What are the ways to get rid of dirt and dust?

• Familiar knocking on the street. But this process is very dirty, requiring remarkable efforts. In addition, the palace will have to be removed from the floor.
• Knocking out in the snow. This method also has a significant drawback - seasonality. The carpet is laid out in the snow, abundantly covered with snow on top. After a few minutes, it is thoroughly swept away. Now the carpet needs to be thoroughly knocked out and thoroughly dried.
• The huge palace, which simply cannot be taken outside, will have to be cleaned directly on the floor. To do this, you can moisten the surface of the palace with water from a spray bottle, and pour plenty of ordinary table salt on top. After an hour, the blackened salt from the dust is thoroughly swept out with a hard broom (or removed with a powerful vacuum cleaner).
• In this case, cleaning the palace with a washing vacuum cleaner is very effective. If he is not in the household, you can cover the carpet with a large damp cloth and walk carefully on it with a knocker. True, the process will have to be repeated many times - site after site, and this will take time and effort.
• The synthetics can be washed with ordinary washing powder, which is scattered on the surface, foamed and passed through the carpet several times with a brush. After that, you need to put dry rags on it, well absorbing moisture.
• Perfectly copes with dust and dirt "home vanish", which, by the way, helps to reduce the majority of spots. It contains 2 liters of hot water, soda and washing powder - a tablespoon and 60–70 ml of table vinegar.The product is sprayed on the carpet, treated with a brush, left for 10 minutes, after which they are cleaned of the product residues with a rag or a washing vacuum cleaner.

Refresh color

A faded, faded palace will look newer and fresher if you use one of the following recipes:

• Salt and lemon juice are mixed in approximately equal proportions. This composition is scattered over the palace, thoroughly treated with a brush, and then wiped with a damp, clean cloth.
• The brightness and saturation of the color will help return the salt water in which a sponge or brush is moistened and pass along the entire surface of the carpet.
• 2 potatoes are rubbed on a fine grater, poured with a small amount of cold water (about half a liter), let it brew for a couple - three hours. Then filter and wipe the resulting liquid carpet. Potato starch perfectly freshens the pile.

Fighting odors

If the carpet requires removal of not only dust, but also odor, affordable home remedies will also help:

• A solution of vinegar (per liter of water about 30-40 ml, depending on the strength of the "aroma") wipe the surface of the palace with a clean sponge.
• A light carpet can be sprinkled with ordinary baking soda, left for a while, and then vacuumed.
• For a dark palace, you can use a different composition: a pinch of manganese, 20 drops of iodine and a liter of water. The components must completely dissolve, after which the solution "processed" place. Next, you need to wash it off the rest of the mixture with a rag and pat it dry with napkins.
• The conditioner, which is used to soften laundry during washing, also perfectly discourages unpleasant odors, while leaving a pleasant aroma. They just wipe the desired area.

Print spots

This is an eternal problem, especially in families with children and animals. They woke it up, spilled it, dripped it, dropped it ... How can carpets in everyday life not get dirty.

Removing stains from stains needs to start with determining the nature of the stains themselves. Only then can you find the optimal cleaning agent. So, what are the stains that bring out?

A very dirty palace may need to be processed several times. If the spots on it cannot be identified, you can try the "general therapy" by the following means:

• Laundry soap. They need to carefully rub the moistened stain and leave for some time. Then rinse off any remaining foam and dirt. Repeat if necessary.
• Soda. It is diluted with water to a mushy consistency and rubbed well into the place of contamination. The further algorithm is the same.
• Household stain removers. There are many, for a variety of cases. If you use chemicals according to the instructions, the effect will be impressive.

When using absolutely any means - at least industrial, even at home, you always need to pre-test its effect on an inconspicuous area to make sure that it does not harm the strength or color of the carpet.

Spots are much easier not to put than to reduce later. To reduce their education, give up the habit of eating in front of a TV or computer, draw or write, lying on the floor, and also go into rooms in street shoes, even if you forgot something, but you don’t want to take off your shoes.

Long pile - separate conversation

To clean the long-hair palace, you will have to try a lot more, because the dirt he accumulates along the entire length of the pile, and not just below it on the basis. But because of this length, it’s much harder to get to this very base.It will take a brush with a long bristle and much more time.

But here another problem appears: such a carpet is much more difficult to dry. This means that there is a great risk that mold and the smell of dampness will appear.

To avoid this, you can use some tricks:

• During drying, the room must be aired;
• You can speed up the process with a hairdryer or a domestic heater in the form of a fan.
• Excess moisture is perfectly collected by the old terry sheet. It needs to be spread on the palace, then roll it into a roll and slightly roll.

There are many recipes for cleaning rugs at home. But it will be much easier to do this if you clean it in a timely manner, avoiding the appearance of old pollution or deep-smelling odors.
