How to clean a dirty carpet right on the floor: the most effective ways

The main disadvantage of carpets is that they get dirty quickly. Dust, dirt, food debris, and pet hair accumulate between the fibers, and the carpet can become a real breeding ground for bacteria.

Many completely natural methods can be used to clean fibers without using expensive and aggressive chemicals. Experts tell us how to clean a dirty carpet without removing it from the floor.

First life hack

• Pour the solution into a clean spray bottle.
• Spray the solution on the stained areas of the carpet. Let the solution sit for 15 minutes.
• Fill a bucket with warm water. Add a few drops of mild dishwashing detergent to the water. Mix the mixture thoroughly.
• Dampen a brush or sponge with the solution and scrub the stained area.

Second life hack

• Mix vinegar, salt and water until a paste is formed.
