Although large and heavy carpets have not been worn for some time, in rooms with a large area of tiles or parquet, two or three smaller carpets or rugs can be “thrown”. Even if, due to their small size, they seem “harmless”, these small carpets are also a source of dust and dust mites that can damage, over time, health.
Just vacuuming them is not enough to remove much of the dust. Because the dust penetrates deep into the fabric, it will need deep cleaning. Whether you decide to do it yourself or turn to special cleaning companies, you need to consider a few methods that have been tested and proven to be extremely effective.

6 super-efficient methods of cleaning carpets, with little money
Water and soap The
The classic method is used in simple carpets, which do not have special elements (special materials or seams, applications, etc.). All you need is a sponge impregnated with water in which a few drops of dishwashing detergent have been squeezed by hand. Gently rub the carpet with this sponge, insisting on areas where there are obvious stains, then rinse the carpet with a damp microfiber cloth. At the end, dry it with a towel, rubbing it in all directions, and let it dry as needed.
Water and ammonia-based solution
This method is effective for very dirty and stained carpets. As in the previous method, use a cloth soaked in the same solution with soap and water, but this time, add a few drops of ammonia. Rub the carpet with this solution in all directions, insisting, of course, on excessively stained areas. After letting the solution work for a while, clean with a cloth soaked in warm water and dry the carpet as in the first version. Pay close attention to ammonia! The vapors emitted by this solution are very strong and not good for health. During the cleaning process, you can protect yourself with a scarf or a mask. It would also be advisable to keep the window open throughout the cleaning. It is very important to test the solution beforehand to not damage the fabric or the colors.
Use white wine vinegar
For carpets with serious grease stains, use a solution based on white wine vinegar, according to the following recipe: 500 ml white wine vinegar, 200 ml warm water, 2 tablespoons dishwashing detergent. With a cloth soaked in this solution, clean the carpet with insistent movements.
Baking soda
With baking soda, you can effectively eliminate the smell of status. How do you use it? Simply sprinkle baking soda over the carpet and leave it to act for half an hour, after which everything will turn out very well.
Coarse salt Coarse salt
is effective in restoring the colors of yesteryear to the carpet. Sprinkle wet salt over it, let it act for half an hour, then rub the carpet with a special brush, and at the end, vacuum very well. You will see how the colors of the carpet will be refreshed.
Shaving foam
Although it seems a strange solution, shaving foam is effective in cleaning the carpet. Most likely, you have already figured out how to use it: spread a serious layer of shaving foam on the entire surface of the carpet with your hands and let it act for at least an hour. Finally, you will need to rub the carpet with a clean sponge.
If these solutions prove ineffective, all you have to do is turn to a specialized cleaning company, where the extraction injection vacuum cleaner is used for all types of surfaces.
This is a device used by companies specializing in professional cleaning and washing, so it is not a method to clean the carpet at home (if you are not the lucky owner of such a device).
Injection-extraction helps in the rapid cleaning of persistent dirt without damaging the fabric in any way (without stagnant water in the fabric, unpleasant odors, or excessive moisture). This mechanism involves the complete removal of water from the carpet and its super-fast drying. In addition, through this complex washing system, bacteria, dust mites, and dust are eliminated, thus protecting the inhabitants of the house from the danger of allergies, rhinitis, asthma, or dermatitis.
Another great advantage of the injection-extraction vacuum cleaner is the delicacy with which it cleans the carpets, the colors becoming vivid again and the fibers becoming fluffy again.
