There are many natural and safe products that can be used to clean a carpet instead of commercial carpet cleaners, and white vinegar is among them. The white vinegar is a useful cleaning solution in homes with children or pets because it doesn't contain harsh chemicals unlike most commercial carpet cleaners. Also, white vinegar won't trigger any allergies or asthma problems since it is fragrance-free. To clean your carpets efficiently with vinegar, follow the steps below.
Instructions
- Remove as much furniture from the room as you can, then vacuum the entire carpet thoroughly, especially the edges as they tend to collect most of the dirt and debris.
- Make a cleaning solution by mixing one part of very hot water with one part of white vinegar. Pour the solution into the tank of your carpet cleaning machine, and add 10 drops of your favourite essential oil for a fresh scent. Keep in mind that 10 drops are enough for half gallon of white vinegar solution, however, if the solution is in greater amount then you should increase the number of added drops of essential oil.
- Turn on the cleaning machine and start washing your carpet from its farthest edge towards the entrance of the room so you will not have to walk on a wet carpet. Carpet cleaning Soho suggests cleaning section by section in straight, even strokes for the best results.
- If the carpets is still dirty, repeat the washing procedure but this time in the opposite direction.
- Wait for the carpet to dry completely before replacing the furniture, otherwise mould problems can occur under the furniture. Open windows or use fans to reduce the drying time of the carpet, as advised by carpet cleaning Soho.
