I have carpets in every room of the apartment and, although they don’t cover the entire floor area, maintaining them has been a struggle for me.
I also want to say that I tried old wives’ remedies, but they didn’t give me the desired effect.
This simple recipe with salt and fabric softener works best for me.
I’ve been using it for years, it takes minimal effort and the result is fantastic – cleanliness, revived colors and a scent not only on the carpet but throughout the apartment.
This maintenance takes 10 minutes and it’s enough to do it once every 3 months.
We need:
– water
– Fabric softener
– salt
– Microfiber cloth
Procedure:
First we vacuum the carpets as usual.
For just under a liter of water I add two tablespoons of salt and one tablespoon of fabric softener.
Soak the microfiber cloth in the solution, and, as if I were washing the floor, simply run it over the entire carpet (do not scrub vigorously) — the carpet is cleaned in 10 minutes in the kitchen and in the living room.
Result? The carpet’s color is beautifully revived and the carpet is clean and fragrant.
And best of all, it will smell wonderful throughout your entire apartment.
I clean the carpets this way once every 3 months and they always look like new.
I don’t use vinegar, baking soda or other old wives’ tricks; this has proven to work best for me.
