In many cases, when choosing your floor covering, you mainly take into account the aesthetics of the material, but rarely its maintenance, which takes second place. After reading this article, you will see that cleaning your floors will finally be a piece of cake for you!
I'll start with the carpet first. This coating gives me a lot of trouble and takes me a lot of time to maintain it. However, this material is both cozy and comfortable, especially if like me, you have also opted for the model with long hairs. And to complicate my life, I put some in several rooms of the house, especially in all the bedrooms...
Unfortunately, the number one enemy of carpeting is dust. Therefore, dusting with a vacuum cleaner, once or twice a week is essential for the cleaning of this coating. Otherwise, the carpet can quickly turn into a dust mite nest; hello allergies and chronic hay fever. In addition, concerning deep cleaning, I schedule it once a year. To do this, I rent a small shampooer, a machine mainly intended for washing carpets, because only this method is truly effective.
But now let's talk about parquet. Indeed, this coating is generally found in the living rooms of the house, namely the living room and the living room. For owners who have opted for vitrified, their task is really made easier. To remove dirt, just run a mop over the surface, previously soaked in warm soapy water. However, for more efficiency, I only use a special vitrified parquet floor mop.
On the other hand, an oiled floor should never come into contact with water. For cleaning this surface, I prefer a soft dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner. And as for the frequency of maintenance, the ideal is two to three times a week. Finally, if you have waxed floors, invest in a microfiber mop. Do not hesitate to moisten it slightly to overcome stubborn dirt.
I will finish my article on the maintenance of plant fiber floors. Very trendy in recent years, these materials are increasingly found in our interiors. Personally, I have long adopted seagrass in my bathroom since, made from fibers of aquatic plants, this coating is very resistant to humidity.
What's more, seagrass needs to be moistened regularly. Otherwise, nothing to say either about its daily maintenance. I clean it like the tiles, I pass a mop and you're done. If you've fallen for the raw, artisanal look of coir, then a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush will do just fine.
