Small care ABC
Carpets caress the feet, spare the spine. They have an anti-slip effect, dampen noise and isolate heat. And of course they make living rooms even more homely. Who treated his good piece also professionally, will enjoy it for a long time. Cleaning the carpet: Here's how:
Regularly suck
The vacuum cleaner frees the pile of loose dirt and dust before they settle in the fibers. How often should you vacuum carpets and carpets? That depends on how many residents they claim in which way - usually once a week, in the hall and nursery sucks you more often, in an allergic household at best daily.
Release solid dirt
Have spaghetti or kneading crumbs stuck in the carpet? Try to lift the annoying remains carefully with the back of the knife so as not to damage the carpet fibers. With a little luck, an ice cube will help against chewing gum: Under the cold shock, the rubber becomes brittle and can be loosened with a spoon.
Remove stains fix
The faster you set about cleaning the Tepich, the greater the chance of success. Absorbent wipes absorb liquid. Stains are treated with a clean cotton cloth and lukewarm water, possibly with a little vinegar cleaner: dab inside from the outer edge so that the stain does not get bigger.
Clean "carpet paths"
On frequently crossed carpet coverings are often unsightly careers. Cleaning Foam dissolves dirt that has entered and restores such areas: vacuum the carpet thoroughly and remove stains. Spray on foam and massage into the fibers with a soft brush or a damp scrubber. Once the foam has dried, it is sucked away with the dirt bound.
1) 200 ml of ammoniacal spirit, mixed with 2 liters of warm water, gives an all around staining water.
2) Cornstarch for grease and oil stains: sprinkle, vacuum after 24 hours.
3) Ice cubes help with chewing gum: Apply until the mass becomes friable, scrape off. Kitchen crepe and iron are used in candle wax: remove wax plasters. Put paper towel over it and iron over it. Treat discolouration with benzene.
4) White wine and salt - proven combination with red wine. Put the white wine on the still damp spot, dab it with cold water again. Sprinkle with salt, absorb after 10 minutes.
