My carpet is going to kill me. This is southern texas, and there is always dust everywhere. How can I thoroughly clean the carpet? I really can't afford a big machine, and I borrowed my moms cheap one, and it did nothing. If I buy carpet cleaner, can I just scrub it with my tub scrub brush or something?
I need to clean a 13 x 13 room and was just looking up earlier answers for cleaning options. I'm going to try mixing a bit of Tide and OxiClean in a big bucket of warm water, scrubbing with a nylon-bristle scrub brush, and letting it dry thoroughly. I'm just going to try NOT to soak the carpet and NOT knock over the bucket.... Good luck!
I do not think you can ever thoroughly clean a carpet, regardless of your region. My suggestion is, use a high powered, vacuum, like a shopvac, with a carpet brush. This will suck as much dust out of the carpet as possible. Do not use an upright vacuum, or one with a moving brush, because this creates vibrations, which will just drive much of the dust between the carpet and under-pad, even between the under-pad and the floor. If the dust is really bothering you, consider pulling up the carpet. What is underneath? If there is a finish, great. If not, it probably is not that expensive to put down wood or tile. Then you can sweep and/or wash to get your floor the cleanest possible. I live in southern Ontario, in an ancient house, and just last year I pulled up the carpet in my front room. It revealed great-looking floorboards, and has made me feel so much better -- you would not believe the amount of dust and crap under the carpet and under-pad.
you won't be able to discover rules for this with the aid of fact there are not any. that is something that could desire to of been negotiated at hire signing. the owner is decrease than no criminal duty to provide you a clean carpet. next time do no longer hire an house with grimy carpets.
