Clean Carpet, Healthy Home: How To Keep Rugs Neat

Kids and adults love to hang out and stay cozy on huge area rugs and carpets. Some families even hold their storytelling time seated on these floor covers. Aside from the crib, babies and toddlers enjoy crawling and playing on the carpet as well.

Unfortunately, area rugs and carpets gather dust, which can cause allergies, asthma, and other health problems. Keeping the rugs and carpets clean is important not only in maintaining an aesthetically pleasing interior but also in promoting the health of the house’s residents.

When cleaning liquid spills, the stain must not be repeatedly rubbed, as this will push the spill deeper into the mat's fibers. It is better to cover the affected area with a clean towel or a few layers of paper towels then press down with the hand. Mixing a few drops of clear hand-dishwashing soap with water and applying it on the area also does the job. To rinse, spray the area with clean water or blot with a wet towel, then with a dry one. Again, avoid rubbing the area because this will tousle up the fibers.
