Let’s get down to the nitty gritty of carpet cleaning. Imagine that you’ve just hosted a party more helpful hints. The music was pumping and the dance floor was lit. Someone then decides to salsa with a red wine glass in hand. Spoiler alert! The carpet looks like the crime scene of a murder mystery involving wine.
Steam cleaning is now your best friend. Imagine giving your carpet a warm shower after a long night. This method is a dirty one, as it reaches deep into the carpet fibers and washes away any stains or sins. Remember that patience is the key, as you cannot rush perfectionism (or drying times).
If you are the type of person who needs their life back as soon as possible, then dry cleaning is for you. This is like a quick refresher before you head out again. It uses minimal moisture, but does the job. It’s perfect for those times when you have a party coming up and want your floors to look great as soon as possible.
Here’s where you can get creative. Have you ever thought of using baking soda or vinegar in place of expensive cleaners? These pantry MVPs are able to tackle odors, stains and more. Don’t panic if it’s sticky. Then, grab some ice from your freezer and place them on the gum. You’ll have an easier time removing the gum than trying to convince your friends that they should help you clean up.
Don’t forget our planet. It’s not just good for your karma to go green when cleaning. You’ll also keep nasty chemicals away from your home, and your pets who may mistake your carpets as their own personal nap mats.
You may be thinking, “But what happens when DIY doesn’t work?” Calling in the professionals is sometimes like admitting that you need to go to the doctor when your DIY haircut doesn’t look like what the YouTube video promised. The pros have the tools and tricks to make us mortals look as if we are playing in minor leagues.
The decision between hiring a professional or putting on the cleaning superhero cape depends on how much energy, time (and, let’s be honest – skills) you have. Some carpets require professional care to maintain their beauty.
You can now decode carpet cleaning without feeling like you need to nap half way through. You don’t need to be a world-class diplomat to keep your carpets spotless. Remember: the next time, lay down some plastic sheeting before you uncork that Merlot.
