Carpets with light shades are considered impractical - they often need cleaning, stains often remain on the pile, which are not visible on a dark coating. But the benefits of a white carpet for the interior are obvious - it increases the area of the room, draws attention to pieces of furniture, and favorably sets off the color of other components.

Instructions
Step 1
Have your carpet dry cleaned. It will cost you more than trying to remove stains yourself, but the result will be guaranteed - industrial chemicals do an excellent job of any contamination. Although sometimes a faint shade may appear over the entire surface of the carpet.
Step 2
Collect the rug and take it outside on the snow. Use a broom to notice the snow on the surface of the carpet and trample it down a little. If the carpet is heavily soiled, then tap it with a special clapper, knocking out the dust. Then turn the carpet over and lay it on clean snow - repeat the sprinkling and knocking out manipulations. Sweep the carpet thoroughly and bring it home.
Step 3
Fill the carpet with fine table salt. Then take a regular brush, dampen it with water and scrub the carpet, rubbing salt. Sweep up any remaining salt and, if necessary, treat the coating again in the same way.
Step 4
You can try to remove stubborn dirt with soapy water. Dissolve half a spoonful of washing powder or shaved white soap in a liter of warm water. Apply the solution to the shaggy part of the carpet, wait a little, then wipe the canvas with a wet and dry rag.
Step 5
Dilute two tablespoons of ammonia in a liter of water and treat areas of strong pollution. Then rub the area with a damp cloth to remove the dirty water. Finish with a soft dry cloth.
Step 6
Soak sawdust in a solution of soapy water, add a little gasoline there. Spread the sawdust over the carpet, spreading it out with a broom. After half an hour, sweep away the sawdust.
Step 7
If the stain is fresh, remove it immediately by pressing a absorbent sponge or dry cloth onto the carpet. Then brush the stain with a soapy brush and wait until it dries. If traces remain, then fill this place with vinegar and after a while, wash it again with detergent. Fresh stains are well removed if you rub them with a rag dipped in cold water - repeat several times until the stain disappears.
Step 8
Wash the potato skins, chop them up, and scatter them over the carpet. Rub heavily soiled areas with a grated potato mass - leave the composition for several hours, then rinse the carpet with detergent.
