We all like to walk on a clean and soft carpet after a bath. At first, the mat will be exactly the way you want it. But after a few months, you will notice that it is no longer fluffy and does not smell nice.
How can the situation be remedied? Here are the most common bathroom rug care mistakes:
Do not wash carpets with powder detergent, as it does not dissolve completely, it settles into the fibers and hardens them. Use gel or soap detergent.
The washing temperature should not exceed 40 degrees. Do not use fabric softener as it builds up in the fabric.
Such a mat dries more and absorbs moisture worse. Do not use bleaches and bleaching powders. They accelerate the process of fiber wear.
The carpet should be washed at least once a week. From a visual point of view, it may seem clean, but in fact, the humidity is always high in the bathroom and bacteria multiply faster in such an environment.
For the cleanest result, the carpet should be washed in two stages
First, place the rug in a basin to soak, then scrub it with laundry soap. Any household soap is suitable for this purpose. Rub the carpet very well, on both sides. Rub and leave it for 15 minutes.
The second step is to put the rug in the washing machine. If the mat is on a hard base or is not machine washable (the manufacturer must have indicated this information on the product), wash it by hand.
The carpet is washed at a maximum of 40 degrees. Be sure to add a few tablespoons of baking soda to the washing up liquid. Also add 100 ml of water and 1/2 teaspoon of dissolved citric acid to the conditioner compartment. Read More…
