Spot cleaning
If your rug only has a few stains, there's no need to wash the entire thing. A quick solution is to apply a mixture of warm water and mild soap to the affected areas, rub with a soft sponge, then blot with a damp cloth to rinse. Let it air dry.
Natural disinfection
To eliminate bacteria without a full wash, here are two simple tips: sprinkle baking soda on the carpet, let it sit for 15 minutes, then vacuum. You can also spray a mixture of white vinegar and water, let it sit, then air dry.
Go through a professional
For delicate or heavily soiled carpets, dry or steam cleaning by a specialist is an excellent option.
How often should you clean your carpets?
Regular maintenance is essential to prevent the accumulation of dirt and bacteria. Shake the rug and vacuum it weekly. Once a month, opt for hand washing or spot cleaning. In case of high humidity, dry it immediately to prevent mold.
