When we want to enrich our interior, both from an aesthetic and practical point of view, we often choose to add rugs.
There are those who use them in the kitchen to avoid staining the floor , others prefer them on the threshold of the balcony , especially in case of rain or outside the entrance.
In short, it is difficult to enter a house and not see a rug adorning the room.
However, as beautiful as they are, these objects accumulate a lot of dust , as well as germs and bacteria. That is why it is essential to clean them from time to time. So let’s take a look at the most effective methods for cleaning carpets !
dust
The first thing to do is necessarily remove the dust that is trapped in the carpet.
I advise you to vacuum it well or help it with a hard-bristled broom . Sometimes you prefer to shake the carpet well, but you have to be careful not to dirty the balconies below or not let the dust fall on possible passers-by.
If you shake the carpet, remove excess dust from the floor. We can now proceed to washing!
in the washing machine
When the rugs are small and thin, they can also be washed in the washing machine .
This method is mainly indicated for fabric rugs , such as those you put in the bathroom, since those that are very large, hard and loose could be damaged and, above all, damage the washing machine.
So be very careful with the type of carpet you have.
Washing should not exceed a temperature of 40 degrees and I recommend a light spin at 800 rpm.
If there are stains, pre-treat them with a baking soda paste and rinse with water . When the mat mixture has dried, remove the excess and then put it in the washing machine.
Handwashing
Larger rugs made of sturdier materials cannot be washed in the washing machine, so they must be washed by hand . Let’s see how!
