Let’s be honest - when it comes to rug or carpet cleaning most of us just use a vacuum and call it a day. Spring means there’s a lot more dust, dander, and pollen floating around. With Borax, you don’t need to hire a professional for rug cleaning or carpet cleaning. It’s so simple. Pick a day to tackle both rug and carpet cleaning in one go to save you time.. To begin, just mix a half a cup of Borax with a gallon of hot water and add it to your steam cleaner.
If you’re unsure whether or not your carpets are colorfast, or able to hold on to color when exposed to moisture, light, heat or cleaning products, spot test a small part of your carpet in an area you won’t notice. Then, steam clean your rugs and carpets according to your steam cleaner’s directions. Be sure to let the carpet and rug dry completely before using it again.
Before beginning to clean a surface like your kitchen or bathroom counter, remove all small items from the surface and place them in a safe area. This step prevents you from having to remove things from surfaces as you go, allowing you to clean all of your surfaces at once and save time.
You can make a simple, multi-purpose cleaner for surfaces throughout your home by diluting ½ cup of Borax into 12 ounces of water and pouring the mixture into a spray bottle. Be sure to label your bottle and store out of reach of children and pets.
