Simple Ways to Wash Carpets

There are two ways to wash carpets, namely manually by spraying and brushing them or washing them in the washing machine. However, before processing the washing, you should carefully check the overall condition of the carpet. If there is a part of the carpet where the woven fiber construction has been damaged or brittle, you should first confirm it with the owner.

Carpets are one of the household textile products that get dirty easily because they are trampled on every day, but they are washed the least often. Most often, the dust is only vacuumed periodically.

Washing carpets can be done manually by spraying and brushing your hands or washing them in a washing machine. Depending on the shape, size of the area of ​​the carpet, and weight. Do not forget to also pay attention to the strength of the threaded woven construction, especially at the edges of the carpet (usually in the form of threads). Be careful if the carpet is brittle, either partially or completely. Especially for fragile carpets, you should not take risks; immediately notify or return to the owner before washing.

HOW TO WASH THE CARPET MANUALLY:

1. Hold the carpet on the floor, then vacuum or remove the dust using a vacuum cleaner. We recommend that you use a wet & dry type of vacuum cleaner so that it can be used to vacuum and can also be used to suck water.
2. After the dust is gone, spread the carpet by hanging it on a clothesline made of bamboo or iron pipe with a strong enough support, or you can keep it on the floor.
3. Spray the carpet with cold water. It would be better if you use a pressurized atomizer, such as those used to wash cars or motorbikes, so that the dirt and dust can be removed more optimally.
4. Next, use soap or detergent that is usually used to wash clothes. But if you want to use carpet shampoo, it doesn’t hurt either.
5. Brush with your hand or a soft-stemmed brush on the soiled area of ​​the carpet. Don’t brush too hard so that the hair doesn’t fall out.
6. Once clean, rinse with a mild (soft) spray and let the water pick up all the dirt from the carpet. Repeat this rinse until the carpet is clean of soap and dirt.
7. Give a softener by dissolving it with enough cold water, as needed.
8. Dry the carpet by hanging it in the wind in a place that is not directly exposed to the sun so that the carpet hair is not rough, but the air circulation is good enough so that the carpet does not smell.
9. After the carpet is dry, sprinkle with baking soda or baking soda (to deodorize and absorb moisture). Allow a few moments then clean the baking soda earlier by vacuuming the machine until it is clean.
10. Rouse the bristles (if deemed necessary) by brushing them with a soft plastic hand brush.
11. Roll or fold the carpet according to the predetermined standard, then put it in a plastic wrap bag so it doesn’t get dirty with dust. Spray perfume (if necessary), before closing the plastic wrap.
