The best way to keep a carpet in good condition and for as long as possible is to take care of it methodically. For this, basic products and utensils may suffice to refresh it.

The vacuum cleaner

A carpet must be dusted very often. It is a floor covering that receives all the daily dirt. We walk on it, dump crumbs and our animals leave hair on it. To avoid making it a mite nest, vacuum several times a week. You can install a broom suitable for carpets on your vacuum cleaner which will brush it thoroughly. And to refresh your carpet in the blink of an eye, pour a few drops of essential oil of your choice directly on the bag of your vacuum cleaner. The smell of lavender, eucalyptus or tea tree will spread on your carpet and in your room.

Soapy water

The first cleaning product for a carpet is soapy water. You can grate a few grams of your usual Marseille soap and mix them with lukewarm water. Use a clean cloth or sponge and rub lightly. Do not spread too much water on your carpet, the fibers could be damaged. Then you can wipe it with a wrung sponge and gently wipe it again. Finally, with a microfiber towel, dry the carpet well by rubbing in all directions.

The steam cleaner

The steam cleaner is the ideal ally for natural carpet cleaning. The only product you need is water. However, sometimes you have to be careful about its use. Check that the colors of your carpet are well fixed, otherwise the steam may dilute them. Do not wet the carpet too much and let it dry out of the way without stepping on it. Do not use too hard water. Demineralized or just filtered water is preferable. Some very fragile carpets will not support the steam cleaner. In this case, return to the simpler solution of soapy water. With Oven cleaning this is important.

Clean and deodorize a carpet

A clean carpet can still smell badly of tobacco, food or animals. Solutions exist to clean a carpet while deodorizing it.

Lemon juice

Lemon juice is perfect for eliminating bad odors on your carpet. Squeeze a lemon and dilute it with a little water before spraying your carpet with a spray. If your pet has decided to mark their territory, the lemon will remove any remaining urine odors after cleaning.
