How to clean a carpet with a long pile: an ingenious way

Homemade powder cleaner will remove stains and odors from the carpet

A fluffy carpet is a great interior element. It looks spectacular, and it is pleasant to walk on, and even comfortable to lie on. But the disadvantage of long pile is its ability to accumulate a lot of dirt and collect it faster.

But, as we learned OBOZREVATEL, to clean the fluffy carpet at home is quite possible. And at the same time get rid of not only the dust and even stains, but also refresh its fragrance. After all, the nap also absorbs odors.

To clean it, you will need to make a powder from several ingredients. Here is their list:

  • baking soda;
  • corn starch;
  • 5 clove buds;
  • 3 bay leaves;
  • 1 tbsp. of borax.

The laurel leaf and cloves for the remedy should be grinded into a fine, homogeneous powder. It is best to do this in a coffee grinder or immediately buy ground products. Then thoroughly mix all the ingredients into a dry remedy.

Sprinkle the resulting powder evenly on the carpet, then rub it into the pile with a stiff brush and leave it to work for several hours, such as overnight. In the morning the product should be thoroughly cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. And the carpet can be used immediately.
