Clean carpets are more than just visually appealing—they play a vital role in maintaining indoor air quality and ensuring a healthy living environment. At DSA Carpet Cleaning Glasgow, we bring over a decade of industry experience to help homeowners and businesses achieve cleaner, safer floors.
Why Carpet Cleaning Is More Important Than You Think
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Carpets act as air filters, trapping dust, allergens, and bacteria. If not cleaned regularly, they can contribute to respiratory issues and allergies.
Statistic: The average carpet can hold up to four times its weight in dirt, according to the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI).
How to Clean a Carpet at Home (Without Expensive Equipment)
Not everyone has access to industrial carpet cleaning machines, but with the right technique, you can clean your carpet effectively using household items.
Step-by-Step DIY Carpet Cleaning:
- Vacuum thoroughly to remove surface debris.
- Spot clean stains using a solution of white vinegar (1:1 with water).
- Sprinkle baking soda over the carpet to neutralize odors.
- Let it sit for 4–6 hours, then vacuum again.
- Use a microfiber cloth to blot dry any damp areas.
How Do You Remove Stubborn Carpet Stains?
Understanding the stain type is critical. Protein-based stains like blood or dairy require enzymatic solutions, while greasy spots benefit from solvents like rubbing alcohol.
