A question often asked by many home users. If you don’t want to hire a cleaning company to clean your carpets at home, how can you clean your carpets yourself? There are two simple methods:

3. Common carpet stain cleaning methods

After stains are stained on the carpet, they must be removed in time, but the stain must be removed in the correct way. Here are some common stains on the carpet. Method:

Edible oil stains: Use volatile solvents such as gasoline or carbon tetrachloride to remove, and the remaining parts should be cleaned with alcohol.

Soy sauce stains: New stains can be removed by brushing them with cold water first, then washing them with detergent. Old stains can be scrubbed with warm water mixed with detergent and ammonia, and then rinsed with clean water.

Shoe oil stains: Wipe away with gasoline, turpentine or alcohol, and then wash with soap.

Urine stains: New stains can be removed with warm water or 10% ammonia solution.

Old stains should be washed first with detergent and then ammonia. Pure wool carpets should be washed with citric acid.

Juice stains: Clean with 5% ammonia solution first, and then use detergent again. However, ammonia has a damaging effect on pure wool carpet fibers, so its use should be minimized. Generally, it can be cleaned with citric acid or soap, or alcohol.

Ice cream stains: wipe with gasoline.

Wine stains: New stains can be cleaned with water. Old stains need to be washed with water. Old stains need to be removed with an aqueous solution of ammonia and borax. If it is a carpet made of wool or silk material, it can be cleaned with oxalic acid.

Coffee stains and tea stains: wash away with ammonia. For silk and wool carpets, soak them in oxalic acid cleaning agent for 10-20 minutes before washing them, or clean them with 10% glycerin solution.

Vomit stains: One method is to wipe with gasoline, then wipe with 5% ammonia, and finally wash with warm water. Another method is to moisten the vomit fluid with 10% ammonia, wipe it with alcohol-added soap, and finally clean it with detergent.

To remove the above stains, you must have the correct wiping method so as not to damage the carpet and expand the scope of the stain. Therefore, you must pay attention to the following points when wiping the carpet:

1. Start from the edge of the stain and gradually reduce it toward the center to prevent the stain from spreading outward.

2. Silk and wool carpets should not be cleaned with ammonia or alkaline water.

3. Oxalic acid is toxic and must be diluted with warm water when used. Concentrated acid can easily damage fibers.

4. Do not use too much force when wiping, otherwise it will damage the fibrous tissue and surface.

5. Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidant and will destroy the color of the carpet, so use it with caution.

6. Turpentine, gasoline, etc. are flammable products and should be used close to fire.

7. Alcohol cannot be used on fiberglass.

4. Daily carpet cleaning methods

1. Use the brushing and suction method on a daily basis. The rolling brush not only combs the carpet, but also brushes away floating dust and sticky dirt. Therefore, the cleaning effect is better than simply vacuuming.

2. Remove stains in time. New stains are easiest to remove and must be removed promptly. If the stain dries or penetrates deeper into the carpet, it can cause long-term damage to the carpet.

3. Regular mid-term cleaning. Carpets that are frequently used by pedestrians need to be equipped with a foaming machine and used for regular mid-term cleaning with dry foam cleaning to remove sticky dirt.

4. Deep cleaning. Once dust settles deep within the fibers of your carpet, you will need to send it to a cleaning shop for cleaning.
