How to clean your carpets: Cleaning tips that work

Carpets can make your room warm and cozy, but they also collect lots of dust, debris and dirt.

Cleaning them isn't always easy, so lots of people prefer asking specialists to help, but you can do it by yourself as well.

Here is how you can do it.

Vacuum the carpet

Use a vacuum cleaner with good suction power, and consider using attachments to reach corners and edges.

Treat stains and spots

If there are any visible stains or spots on the carpet, treat them before proceeding with the overall cleaning.

Steam cleaning

Rent or purchase a carpet steam cleaner, and follow the specific instructions for filling the machine with water and any suitable cleaning solutions.

Work in small sections, starting from one corner of the room and moving systematically across the entire carpet.

Dry cleaning

Follow the instructions on the kit and gently work the cleaning solution into the carpet using a brush or sponge.

Shampooing

Dilute the shampoo according to the instructions and apply it to the carpet using a sponge, brush, or carpet cleaning machine with a shampooing attachment.

Drying

Open your windows or use fans to promote airflow and aid in the drying process.

Try not to walk on the carpet until you're sure it is completely dry.

Spot-check and touch-up

Once the carpet is dry, inspect it for any remaining stains or areas that need more cleaning.
