How to vacuum a carpet

Vacuuming may not be fun, but it is an important chore to keep clean and has many health benefits. Vacuuming dust, dirt, and other particles prevents people with allergies or asthma from suffering from discomfort. Vacuuming also increases the life of carpets and rugs, which can help you save time and money in the long run when you don't have to replace them.

Method 1 Vacuuming a woven rug

1
Find the direction of the grain of the carpet. Woven rugs can have a lot, little or no fiber. This is the density of the vertical fibers that protrude from the carpet. The direction in which the fibers naturally lie is called the fiber direction. [1] To determine it, run your hand along the rug. If you do it against the grain, you will feel the resistance.
You should always vacuum or brush woven rugs in the direction of the grain. Otherwise, softer yarns may break. [2]

2
Vacuum in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the grain. If you vacuum in the direction of the grain, the fibers will cover and protect the dirt you want to remove. Vacuuming against the direction of the grain will cause unnecessary wear on the carpet and can cause fiber loss and damage. [3]

3
Don't vacuum the fringes. When vacuuming the edges, use your hand or foot to pin the fringe down. Vacuuming them could damage the vacuum and the carpet. [4] Suction roller vacuums are better for this task, as the fringes will not get stuck inside the vacuum.

Method 2 Vacuuming tufted rugs

1
Check the underside for possible flaking or peeling. Tufted rugs are held together by a layer of latex glue that secures the fringes and prevents them from falling off. If the carpet is very old, this layer of glue could show signs of cracking and crumbling, which means that the fringes will no longer be secured. If you see patches on the underside of the carpet where there is no glue, be very careful when cleaning that part. Exerting a lot of pressure will cause the fibers to come off and create new patches. [5]

2
Find the direction of the grain. All tufted rugs have a fiber; it is the density of the protruding vertical fibers. They also have a grain direction, which is the direction the fibers naturally lie. [6] To determine the direction of the grain, run your hand over the carpet. It will appear darker and you will feel resistance when you brush against the grain.
If the carpet is rectangular, the grain direction will go the length.
Regular traffic on the carpet can change the direction of the grain in certain places. Rotate rugs on a regular basis so the grain stays even throughout the rug.

3
Vacuum periodically in the direction of the grain. If you vacuum in the direction of the grain, the fibers will cover and protect the dirt you want to remove. Vacuuming against the direction of the grain will cause unnecessary wear to the carpet and could accidentally remove the fringes. [7]
For best results, use a bagless vacuum and stir bar, or a similar vacuum that only uses suction.

Method 3 Vacuuming a flat-weave rug

1
Vacuum frequently. Flat-weave rugs are fiber-free and made of durable materials. Due to their fine, yet tough nature, they will appear dirtier more often than other rugs, as there will be less room for dirt and dust to hide. While excessive vacuuming can often cause wear and tear on the carpet, durable materials can hold up quite a bit before this occurs.

2
Be careful with the fringes. If vacuumed upwards, the fringes can get caught in the stir bar and damage both the vacuum and the carpet. [8] For this reason, temporarily turn off the agitator bar when vacuuming the edges or use a bagless vacuum that uses only suction. If you have access to a vacuum with stir bars, hold the fringes down with your hand while vacuuming.

3
Vacuum both sides. Flat-weave rugs are reversible, and both sides are susceptible to soiling. Vacuuming both sides will remove dirt that can wear down the carpet early. [9] Turn the carpet over occasionally to distribute the wear evenly on both sides. This will increase its life and reduce wear.

Method 4 Vacuuming a thick carpet

1
Flip the rug over and vacuum the underside. By doing this first, you will be able to loosen dirt and dust deep in the carpet. [10] For this step, you will need a vacuum with a stir bar. Stand on the rug and use your feet to prevent the edges from lifting up when you vacuum.
Alternatively, you and a friend can turn the thick rug over and shake it vigorously to loosen dirt and dust. However, thick rugs are very heavy, so it will be difficult to do it without help.

2
Vacuum the floor under the carpet. Roll up the rug and set it aside for a moment. On the floor, there will be dirt and dust that you have previously dislodged from the carpet. Vacuum this part before putting the carpet in place, but this time, face up. [eleven]

3
Vacuum the top with a light suction. Unlike the bottom, stir bar vacuums are not recommended for use on the top, as long fibers will wrap around them and damage the vacuum. Using a vacuum cleaner with mild suction can also cause damage by pulling the fringes from the carpet. Instead, use a small vacuum with low suction or use the crevice tool to gently clean the top.


Tips
Dust your carpets frequently. The best way to remove dust from a carpet is to prevent it from accumulating in the first place. [12]
Regardless of the type of carpet you have, always use a non-slip base! In addition to increasing the life of the carpet, it prevents it from sliding or scratching the surface below. [13]
Vacuuming a carpet is very effective in controlling the hair of cats and dogs in the house.

Warnings
Don't vacuum fur, sheepskin, or fur rugs. These rugs require special attention to care for the coat. [14]

How to vacuum the carpet or carpet and leave it 100% clean

Carpets are present in most homes and it has surely happened to you that after vacuuming it, you feel that it was not as clean as you expected.

Today I will give you some very useful tips and techniques to vacuum your carpet and make it impeccable.

How to vacuum the carpet step by step

If you have pets in addition to carpets , you will be interested in this guide on vacuum cleaners that work very well with the hair of your animals.

# 1 Clear the carpet
The first thing you should do is clear the carpet of all objects that could bother you cleaning, such as tables and chairs.

# 2 Place the appropriate mouthpiece
If your vacuum includes a special carpet brush, you should place it before you start.

If you have a cordless vacuum cleaner, much better, since it will allow you to have greater freedom of movement.

# 3 Aim for medium power
Turn on the vacuum and put it on medium power .

A very high power would absorb the pile of the carpet, and a low one does not have the necessary force to remove the dirt from it.

# 4 Follow the direction of the strands
Vacuum in the direction of the strands of the carpet, in slow movements , and then go perpendicular .

In this way, you will absorb as much dust and dirt as possible.

# 5 Use the nozzle for the corners
If the carpet or carpet reaches the wall, use the nozzle to vacuum in the corners

This is one of the places where dirt accumulates the most because we do not usually clean there. 

How often should I vacuum?

Carpet should be cleaned every day if it is in a high traffic area of ​​the home.

But if you are in a space that is not used much then you can do a weekly cleaning .

How to remove the bad smell from the carpet?

If the carpet is very dirty and has a bad smell, you can dry clean it with baking soda .

Just add it all over the carpet, leave it on overnight, and vacuum the carpet as usual.

The bad smell will disappear and it will look much cleaner. 

How to remove stains from the carpet?

Now, if you want to remove a specific stain, make a mixture of water, white vinegar and liquid soap.

Apply it to the carpet with a spray bottle, and rub it with a cloth or soft bristle brush, then vacuum it.

I do not recommend using a very strong brush as it can loosen the fibers of the carpet.

How to eliminate dust after carrying out works in our home

To clean after a work or renovation in your home it is necessary to be cautious, you must take into account that the objects of your home are well protected with some fabric or plastic against any damage and delimit the areas of the work to facilitate the subsequent work of cleaning. It is also important to open windows and doors, in order to provide the home with adequate ventilation.

After the reform you must protect yourself well , we recommend that you wear clothes that can get stained, a protective mask to prevent dust from going into our lungs and glasses to protect your eyes. The dust produced by a work is nothing like common dust, it is thicker because it comes from the perforation of the materials. This dust can wreak havoc on the respiratory system leading to respiratory illnesses.

Remove dust and plaster from the work area

To begin, the essential thing is to make sure that we have all the materials and tools at hand to carry out a thorough cleaning of our house or the space where the work has been carried out. The most effective option for cleaning is the vacuum cleaner, it will be the first thing to use when collecting and removing the accumulated dust on the floor . Most likely, as it is a thick powder, you will have to empty the bag more than once, do not worry since once you finish with all the powder it will be much easier for you to go for everything else.

The next thing is to clean the ceiling and the walls with the help of a ladder, a bucket and a damp sponge or cloth, this way you will remove the smallest remains of dust and dirt. You can repeat this operation as many times as necessary, as long as the sponge or cloth is well wrung out and you make quick passes so as not to leave a mark on the walls and ceiling.

Removes dirt from furniture and corners of the home

For cleaning specific furniture that you have not been able to protect during the course of the work, the ideal is to use a cloth and a soapy cleaner to get rid of dust and dirt that may have remained, remember to wash the cloth from time to time so as not to re-soiling the furniture with the dust collected on it and that can scratch the surface of the furniture.

To remove the dirt embedded in the furniture and located in a place that is difficult to access for vacuuming, you can use a small brush or, failing that, an old toothbrush. By wetting the brush in a little water you will be able to clean all those corners, once it has passed, remove the dirt with the help of a damp cloth until it is shiny. If this procedure has not produced the desired effect, you can always contact express painting professionals to restore your furniture and return it to good condition in a short time and without causing you any further discomfort.

Cleans cement from embedded soil

In cases where we have a reform or work involved, there are always some traces of it in the form of stains or traces of cement. The best way to eliminate them is to get a descaling product, which allows to permanently eliminate the remains of cement that may have fallen on the floor or splashed the wall. Before starting to clean, remember to dilute the product in water and read the instructions on the container correctly, then moisten the floor in the place where the stains are found with the help of a cloth or cloth. Next, rub the mixture over the rest of the cement, wait a few minutes before rubbing again and repeat the action until the stain completely disappears. Remember that the product takes a few minutes before taking effect, so give it some time.

Once the entire work area is finished, it is possible that throughout the hours you will continue to find traces of dust, the important thing is to be constant and keep a daily cleaning and maintenance rhythm , so that little by little you eliminate every last one. rest of dirt. Do not forget above all about protection and good ventilation in your home.

Remove dust from the construction site

Before starting, the first thing we must do is try to make the dust that has accumulated during the work disappear . Your first impulse will be to take a broom and start sweeping everything, but with this you will only be able to move the particles from place.

Open the window of the compartment where you are going to start cleaning and with the door closed, place a fan pointing outwards.

For the first cleaning itself, it is advisable to use a vacuum cleaner , but you can do it using the traditional brush method, although it will take longer and the effectiveness will be lower. Once you have finished, leave the fan on for at least an hour and the window open, with this you will get the particles that float in the air out into the street .

Repeat this process in each of the rooms in the house. It is recommended that you start with the innermost cabin and work your way towards the exterior rooms from the inside out. In this way you will avoid accumulated dust.

Ceilings and walls

Once we have the house clean of dust and particles, the next step is to remove the dirt that has accumulated on ceilings and walls . In order to do so, I recommend that you follow these steps:


Fill a bucket with water and dip a mop in it until it is completely wet. Before starting, check that it is in a good hurry and does not leak. It is very important, therefore, squeeze it until you appreciate that it is completely drained.

When you have the mop ready and with the right humidity, place it in the upper corner of each wall and proceed to scrub it from corner to corner in the case of ceilings and from corner to corner and from top to bottom when we clean the walls . When you finish each area, you will have to rinse the mop and re-wet it to continue cleaning other areas until both the ceilings and the walls are clean.

The floors after the construction

It is very likely that on the floor of the house you can find traces of mud, cement, plaster . In order to remove those stains that may be resistant to conventional detergents, there are some more specific chemical products on the market for this type of more complex dirt. Antiscale , cement removers , or descalers are usually ideal products for this job.

Before starting, the first thing we must do is try to make the dust that has accumulated during the work disappear. Your first impulse will be to take a broom and start sweeping everything, but with this you will only be able to move the particles around.

If the case that "complicates your life" is how to clean stoneware or porcelain floor after the work, there may be other doubts that usually arise. First you must identify the type of floor and then apply the specific cleaner for stains.

In any case, the ideal solution is the classic vacuum cleaner in the case of smooth floors and the sweeping machine if the surface is rough. The latter is much more efficient and also more expensive.

Cleaning the rest of your home

Once you have managed to remove the dirt from the walls and the floor, the next objective is to clean the rest of the components of your home . Although they should have been covered and insulated during the job, it is very likely that they have traces of dust and plaster from some spatter. The ideal way to remove this dirt is to fill a bucket with water and detergent and use a very damp cloth to remove the remains of dust and dirt. It is important that you use a  degreasing detergent that will guarantee proper cleaning.


When you have the cloth with water and detergent, remove the excess water, but leave it very wet so that it is less aggressive and does not cause scratches and scratches. When you see dirt on the cloth, put it back into the bucket and start over. 

In the case of stainless steel windows, use specific products for this, such as specific spray cleaners or a stripper stainless steel cleaner , in case there is any residual welding.

Once you have managed to remove the dirt from the walls and the floor, the next objective is to clean the rest of the components of your home. Although they should have been covered and insulated during the job, it is very likely that they have traces of dust and plaster from a splash.

Another of the enemies that you can find in cleaning your home are paint or varnish stains , I recommend patience and the use of a good universal stripper that will facilitate the removal of those uncomfortable stains.

Popular and inexpensive remedies to clean the remains of work.

There are some homemade solutions that can be efficient and simple in some cases. They do not reach the level of effectiveness of professional products, but they can be a cheaper option. Let's see the most used.

For lime or plaster stains on the windows you can use acid or cement remover. In the case of aluminum window frames or kitchens, I recommend a mixture of water, soap and ammonia. If it is one of those stubborn stains on floors and walls, carbonated drinks or even hydrogen peroxide have a very efficient effect.


For embedded stains, the classic "vaporetta" from your ironing center is usually very effective in cleaning them, the water vapor penetrates and in many cases it is the ideal solution for those stubborn stains.

In the event that it is paint or varnish, there is a very effective solution: nail polishes that contain acetone. To do this, spread this product on the stain and very carefully and scrape it with a spatula until it disappears.

You have almost finished the end of work cleaning.

Once you have finished with dust, ceilings, floors, walls, windows and doors and have your house “apparently” clean, I recommend that you go back to vacuuming as a review of the previous work . Once this process is finished, you will have your home in perfect condition to start the move and thus enjoy a new place to live.
