How to clean carpets? Advice from Dekor Carpet specialists.

There is an opinion that synthetic carpet is harmful to health. But this is not so; modern materials are not only safe, but also easy to maintain. In our store their selection is huge - various colors, patterns, sizes and shapes. The buyer can choose either a fleecy or sheared product. Polypropylene carpets are often purchased for furnishing children's rooms because they do not cause allergic reactions. Another important aspect that encourages you to purchase such a covering: cleaning a house whose floor is covered with a polypropylene carpet will be easier than in a home covered with natural fiber. It is necessary to highlight some recommendations for the care of polypropylene products:

- you can get rid of dirt simply by vacuuming it on both sides, back and front;

- cleaning using detergents is also allowed. If a universal cleaner is most often not suitable for wool or silk, then for polypropylene fiber this is the most effective way to restore lost freshness;

- snow cleaning is a universal method of getting rid of dirt. The covering should be taken outside, sprinkled with clean snow, and then swept away with a broom. This “shock” therapy not only refreshes the pile, but also helps rid the carpet of germs;

- the canvas should not be knocked out in a suspended state; After cleaning, it is recommended to store the polypropylene carpet in a roll; it should not be bent.

Another material that manufacturers use to create high-quality carpets is acrylic. The product looks and feels very much like wool. The cost of these coverings is slightly higher than, for example, polypropylene, but, according to many buyers, such a carpet is an excellent addition to any interior design, be it a living room, bedroom, nursery or dining room. Caring for an acrylic carpet is more complex and painstaking work. For those planning to purchase this type of coating, it will be useful to learn about methods for effectively cleaning it:

- if the main problem is dust, then a regular vacuum cleaner will help to cope with it. Cleaning on both sides will certainly restore the lost shine and brightness of colors to the product;

- removing dirt using absorbent cleaning is guaranteed to help deal with even difficult stains. Apply a little stain remover to the surface, then scatter a special absorbent agent. After a few minutes, the surface of the acrylic carpet is treated with a device with two vibrating roller brushes that move towards each other. You can purchase everything you need to carry out this manipulation at a hardware store;

- steam cleaning is a very effective method. Products specially designed for this should be diluted in clean water, after which they are applied in the form of warm steam to the acrylic carpet, then the coating must be vacuumed. Thus, steam particles are absorbed along with contaminants;

- foam dry cleaning of acrylic coating is another method that allows you to effectively deal with even stubborn stains. The first stage is removing dust using a vacuum cleaner. After this, you need to apply foam to the surface, formed from shampoo whipped in water for cleaning acrylic coatings. The moisture content in the cleaning composition should be minimal. After drying, the carpet needs to be vacuumed again.

Thus, if you follow simple recommendations, a carpet made of synthetic fiber - acrylic or polypropylene - will last a long time without losing its original qualities, as well as the brightness of the pattern.
