Have you ever wondered how to maintain or fix your carpet? Have you ever wanted to elevate the way your carpet looks? I never have but that's beside the point. There are many ways to extend the life span of your carpet and here are 3 tips and tricks that can come into mind.
1. Have you realised that there are still crumbs, hairs and other loose debris left after vacuuming. Some vacuums can only do so much and that's why lint rollers can come are handy. This can come handy for the hard to clean areas and once you put some elbow grease into it, you'll be able to clean those stubborn hairs. The time it takes is dependent on what type of carpet you have but it can take as little as 5 minutes to clean.
2. A way to bring the fluff back in your carpet is by mixing one part of water with one part of vinegar. Spray that solution on the desired carpet and allow it to sit for 5 minutes. Once the 5 minutes has finished, grab a towel and wipe down any excess moisture. Then put a cloth over a heated iron to dry the carpet and this step will bring the fluff back from your carpet. Make sure you don't hold the iron on your carpet for too long as it'll cause burns and damage the carpet.
3. There are many cases when the kids cause food to spill or drinks. One major food item is gum which can be a headache to remove from the carpet. However this can be fixed. What you need to do is place an ice cube on the gum which is stuck in the carpet. This turns the gum into a solid piece which can be pulled out of the carpet without leaving residue at all.
