Remember Soviet times, when a variety of carpets on the walls and under their feet were considered a sign of wealth? Thank God that today people are easier to include such a "show." However, in each apartment at least one carpet, but is present. And now there are now carpets expensive and high-quality. If suddenly a natural woolen or silk carpet or a synthetic palace contaminated, it becomes very sorry.
1
Any carpet can be cleaned, but it is better not to bring it to that condition when even the color is guessed with difficulty. For prevention of pollution:
do not finish the carpet under the coffee table, on which drinking coffee or beer;
do not go on a carpet in shoes, and even in room slippers;
vacuuming the carpet is very carefully, passing the brush at one place at least 3-4 times.
2
If the carpet is contaminated, then clean it can be with detergents or with folk methods. Special tools, such as "Vanish", can be used only for cleaning synthetic carpets. For woolen or silk, they are not suitable, because carpet threads are painted with natural dyes that do not tolerate chemistry. Still natural carpets do not tolerate strong moisturizing, and all cleaning products are bred by water. So if a natural carpet contaminated, it will have to go to dry cleaning.
3
When the carpet is not very dirty, it can be cleaned with the help of ammonia alcohol: 2 tablespoons per 1 liter of water. It is necessary to moisten in a solution with a sponge, it is good to press it, and then wipe the pile. The ammonia alcohol will also refresh the color of the paints. In the same way, citric acid operates, but it must be used in combination with salt: one liter of water must be taken on one tablespoon of dry ingredients.

There is an ancient effective method that will remove overall pollution from a natural wool carpet - sauerkraut. Only not the one that salts with the help of vinegar, but such as grandmothers do - only salt. Cabbage you need to rinse well with water, squeeze from moisture and scatter on the carpet. Five minutes later, start to fit it from the carpet. So need to be done until the last portion of cabbage remains clean.

With general pollution dealt with, now let's talk about complex stains. If there is no special stain remover, they are removed like this:
from coffee, juice, fruits, wine - first clean water, then with a common washing powder, in the end to wipe with lemon juice (it is impossible to use colored lemon carpets);
from mold - hydrogen peroxide;
from Fomaaster - first peroxide, then a white economic soap;
fat stains - pure gasoline for lighters.
6
Any complex stains need to be deleted as quickly as possible. The longer such a stain will remain on the carpet, the less chance to remove it even with dry cleaning. The fact is that the stain will be "crawling" on threads and get used to each fiber from which they are woven.
Sometimes carpets are cleansed with wet sawdust or snow. This method is effective, but then a large carpet wet so much. In the meantime, he will dry, then the mold on it may appear, and the smell of moisture to absorb. Such wet cleaning is painlessly transfer only small bedside mats. They can be easily removed on fresh air for drying, and a large carpet is not applied.
Snow or vinegar Sometimes I clean carpets. But, it is better, a modern separator vacuum cleaner with an aqueous filter and an electrolling (for deep cleaning).
