Your carpets help to create a welcoming home, but they do have a habit of collecting all the messes of everyday life! Deep cleaning your carpets is essential to maintain a fresh home environment. No matter if you have wall-to-wall carpeting or area rugs, here’s how to deep clean your carpet at home:

What you’ll need:

• Vacuum
• Distilled white vinegar
• Baking soda
• Microfibre cloth
• Spray bottle
• Kitchen roll
• A sponge

Step 1: dirt, dust, and debris!

Start with a detailed vacuuming session to remove any dirt, dust, or debris. For the best results ensure you vacuum in slow, overlapping strokes to pick up dirt trapped deep in your carpets fibres. Your vacuum’s crevice tool is essential here to clean along corners, edges, and any other tight spaces.

Pro tip: for pet owners, a vacuum fitted with a pet hair attachment can help lift embedded pet hair form your carpet.

Step 2: remove any stains

A spilt drink could lead to a stained carpet. Tackle spills as soon as they happen to prevent stains from setting in. Begin by blotting the area with kitchen roll to absorb as much liquid as possible. If you unfortunately miss the initial spill, create a DIY stain remover by mixing equal parts distilled white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Proceed by lightly spraying the solution onto the stain and leaving for 5-10 minutes. Blot the area with a clean cloth to lift the stain. Repeat if necessary, until the stain is gone.

Step 3: finishing touches

A deep clean wouldn't be complete without the magic of baking soda. Generously sprinkle it over the entire carpet and lightly dampen it with cold water using a spray bottle. Then, grab a sponge and gently work the mixture into the carpet fibres, scrubbing in one direction and then at a 90-degree angle to ensure all dirt is lifted. Once the carpet has dried, vacuum up the remaining baking soda and dirt. By following these 3 easy steps, you can keep your carpets looking fresh. Regular vacuuming, quick stain removal, and periodic deep cleaning are all key to maintaining a clean and healthy living room.
