Those who are passionate about their home décor are not the ones who keep their furniture and carpet dusty, filthy or stained. All of us who have the responsibility to take care of our home or office want to maintain hygiene and have our place cleaned and polished.

There are many tips and tricks to clean your surroundings. Today we are going to learn about 11 hacks that you need to know before start cleaning your carpet.


1. Prepare the Carpet:

Prepare the carpet before cleaning or washing. Remove any kind of leftovers like food, papers, coins, toys, etc. Dust your furniture around the carpet so that you can vacuum the dust later from the carpet. You need to wipe the dust from every direction so that you can get rid of them while cleaning the carpet.

2. Know your carpet:

You have to know the material your carpet is made with. Some popular types are – Nylon, Olefin, Acrylic, and wool are some popular types of carpet fibers. Each of them has different types of cleaning solutions. One of the most common solutions is water and plain white clothes. You should not use patterned rags or dyed cloths to wipe your carpet as it may damage the color of your carpet in some areas. Paper towels are also an adequate solution to clean the fresh stains on your carpet.

3. Check your Cleaning Instruments:

Before start cleaning your carpet you should check your vacuum machine as it may have a wet nozzle or some type of adhesive material like glue, rubber, or any type of liquid stacked to its nozzle. In short, you need to check your cleaning instruments along with the cleaning solutions.

4. Clear from different directions:

Vacuum your carpet from different directions, both horizontally and vertically. It is not enough to vacuum your carpet from a single direction. You need both time and patience to clean your carpet properly. Just start cleaning it with proper Vacuuming.

5. Use your Vacuum extensions wisely:

While using your vacuum cleaner choose the attachments wisely according to your carpet. There are several types of vacuum cleaner attachments like – Crevice tool, dusting brush, extension wand, power or turbo brush. Use the instruction manual for your vacuum cleaner and learn what attachment you should use on your carpet. You also need to find out what attachment is best for the material from which your carpet is made of.

6. Choose your timeline:

Set a schedule and maintain a proper timeline to clean your carpet. You cannot expect to have a clean and long-lasting carpet by cleaning it once a year. Whether you hang around on it or not it may get dusty only by the airflow around your home. In case you have two or more family members or you are popular around your community then you might consider cleaning your carpet once a month to avoid having a carpet that looks dusty and awful.

7. Choose the right solution:

Different types of commercial carpet cleaning solutions are available in the market. Each commercial cleaning substances are available with some unique feature and quality. Choose your solution wisely by reading the label and learning which one is suitable for the material your carpet is made with. There are different types of solutions for stains but some of them may have side effects like faded color, damaging a small area on your carpet, etc. That is why be cautious while choosing your solution. You may take references from your friends, family, or from the internet!

8. Use safety and precaution for other furniture:

Before applying any kind of cleaning solution on your carpet, you might consider moving the furniture that is nearby. Some may leave a stain on your furniture as these solutions are made with chemicals. Not all chemicals are friendly to your furniture. Whether they are effective to treat the stains on your carpet or not, if you do not take any precautions then it might leave some stains on your furniture while spraying or applying them on your carpet.

9. Try not to apply an extensive amount of soap:

While cleaning the carpet some people apply vast amounts of soap or detergent with the cleaning solution. Some may think it will be quicker to clean the stains. But applying large amounts of soap or detergent will make the carpet sticky, and it may also damage your fabric or your machine as well.

10. Train your pets accordingly:

If you have any type of pet in your house then you should consider training them properly on how to avoid using the area around the carpet. It will be best if you keep them away from it but we all know that is not possible. If you have pets with paws then you should train them to avoid getting dirty and follow some strict routine for roaming around the house. You should try your best otherwise you cannot hope to have a clean carpet.

11. Do not let the stains hang in there for long:

If you have any kind of stain on your carpet then just do not wait. Take necessary action to wipe it out as soon as possible. The longer the stain remains, the chances of wiping it out will get low. If the stain is wet then start cleaning the dust around. Because a wet stain will attract the dust and make it look more displeasing.
