Useful tips to save your energy on carpet cleaning

Keeping your house clean can be very helpful to your family’s health. Carpet cleaning can be the most difficult part in household care. Are there any useful and health tips to effectively clean carpet and save your energy? Yes, of course. Here are some useful tips on how to clean carpets and rugs without using dangerous chemicals.

1. Have your family or friends take off their shoes or wipe their feet when they enter the house. Place a nice big door mat at the front door where people can wipe their feet or even several door mats both outside and inside the house.

2. Vacuum regularly. You shouldn’t have more than two days in between each vacuuming session, which equates to vacuuming three times a week. If you have pets that shed a lot, you should use a brush to get the hairs out and vacuum every other day.

3. Use salt to soak to help soak up spills. You should use salt immediately after noticing the spill. If the spill was left to soak into the rug, then you’ll need to sprinkle some salt on it, vacuum and use some towels to help you blot out deeper stains.

4. Good ventilation. Ventilating your rooms frequently, especially during and some 20 minutes after vacuuming, will help you deal with unpleasant smells and dust. Let some clean air into the room at least a couple of times a day.

5. Choosing the right rug makes all the difference. While there is a lot of cheap rugs that look relatively nice, these may not be as cost-effective as you think in the long run. Take the time to choose the right rug; it will be worth your investment.

6. A towel, soap and water can take care of most small stains. After you blot up the stain, you can wash it with some warm soapy water, rubbing it lightly with the towel and then leaving it to dry out. Soapy water will also do wonders for small dirt-stained patches.

7. Use carbonated water for persistent stains. Carbonated water is great for taking out red wine stains, even if they have been left to soak into the carpet for a while. Some people even recommend mixing carbonated water with a bit of white wine for more persistent red wine stains.

8. Use lemon juice on light-colored rugs. If the stains are on a light-colored carpet, you can mix lemon juice. Lemon juice will also give that nice, fresh, citrus smell to your rugs, which is great for dealing with light odors.

9. Baking soda is great for soaking up odors, so if you have pets or small children you can mix a cup of baking soda with a bit of aromatic oil, sprinkle it all over the carpet and vacuum it up after about half an hour.

10. White vinegar can be used to deal with strong odors. You’ll need to soak up the stain with a towel and then mix half a cup of white vinegar with 4–5 cups of water in a spray bottle and spray it on the stain.


Finally, don’t forget to take a bathroom cleaner to clean your bathroom where is the most important place to clean. Hope those tips can do a great help for you to keep your house clean.
