Have a pet? An old carpet? A random stain from years ago that constantly smells?! All of the above? Amp up the ambience of your home by keeping your carpet maintained, smelling fresh AND looking pristine with Perth Carpet Cleaning!
If your carpet is prone to stains, there is a significant chance that there might be some particles still present in the carpet fibres that may cause odour to emanate from your carpet, even if you have dutifully cleaned the stain. That is why you need to use a carpet cleaner or deodorising products to get rid of that odour that may push your carpet condition from mere good, to excellent.
DIY Carpet Deodorising and Cleaning Tips For Home
Deodorizing with vinegar
YES – Vinegar! It goes great with carpets as well as chips! Spray vinegar on your carpet and let it sit until the vinegar completely dries off. The reason why vinegar tops the list is that it is a natural deodorizing ingredient that is odourless once it dries off. Vinegar also has odour absorbing properties, which eliminate any other odour that may be lingering in your carpet. (Also great for the kitchen sink drain!)
Deodorize with baking soda
Mix half a cup of baking soda and borax with one teaspoon of cinnamon. Dust your carpet with this mixture and let it sit for around half an hour, after which you can vacuum clean the carpet. Voila! You have a clean and fresh smelling carpet!
Deodorize carpets with vodka
Did someone say vodka?! Vodka can be used to get rid of foul odour as it can remove stains and exterminate bacterial compounds. Especially in cases of pet urine, clean the stain and spray vodka on the cleaned area. After 15 minutes, remove the moisture by gently pressing paper napkins to the wet surface. Proceed to vacuum clean your carpet and you get a restored and deodorised carpet
How to Prevent Bad Carpet Odours
Preventive cleaning is crucial to avoid odour-emanating carpets, these methods include:
Proper ventilation
Open up the windows and doors to let fresh air come in. Proper ventilation allows air to escape, thereby not trapping foul smells inside a space.
Dehumidifiers
To attain a perfect living space, it is important to deal with the humidity inside the house. Eradicate the chance of growth of mould or mildew, as a result of humidity, by installing dehumidifiers.
Good old fashioned, regular carpet cleaning
The most important aspect of keeping a clean carpet and hence a clean environment is to clean regularly. Clean your floors with brooms and mops and vacuum your carpet at least once a week. Prevent dirt and debris from sticking to your carpet by vacuuming regularly. And if your carpet is stained, tend to it immediately before it seeps inside through the fibres. And after the stain is properly treated and removed, use a carpet cleaner and deodoriser to eradicate any residual odour.
