With the advent of steamers, washing vacuum cleaners, safe chemical products, it's much easier to clean carpets correctly and qualitatively. Despite this, some prefer to knock out heavily soiled products on the street, most often in the courtyard of the house. Manipulation is very effective, if you hold it at least twice a year, you can not worry about the fresh air in the apartment.
The approach has only two negative points. Firstly, manipulation is quite specific and very few people conduct it according to all the rules, hence not the best result. Secondly, recently there has been a debate over the legality of cleaning carpets in the courtyard of residential buildings.
Is it possible to knock out carpets in the yard on the street?
If a few years ago, everyone could knock out their carpets in the yard of the house, and for this even special supports were placed on the street in the form of horizontal bars with massive crossbeams, today the situation has radically changed. Finding out why the events suddenly fell under the ban, the following points can be singled out:
- The dust, dirt, particles of various aerosols and chemical products accumulated in the pile get into the atmosphere, which negatively affects the environment and even contributes to the destruction of the ozone layer. To avoid this, you must prevent the distribution of these components. To do this, you can simply cover the carpet with a wet sheet before the knockout process.
- The dirt from the processing of the product can settle on the clothes surrounding, washed laundry( some even today dry it in the yard), objects from the playground. This moment the wet sheet also prevents or minimizes, but before starting the treatment it is better to evaluate all the risk factors and to carve the carpet away from people.
- Noise. In a busy courtyard near the road with a lively movement on the characteristic claps no one will pay attention. And in a secluded closed courtyard with a minimal noise level there will certainly be dissatisfied. For this reason, carpets are best cleaned in the daytime, and not in the early morning, and, on weekdays, and not on a day off.
There are no laws prohibiting this particular manipulation. But there are provisions that do not allow the cultivation of dirt in the courtyard of the house. Therefore, it is unobstructed to clean up, if one does not agree with it, it is unlikely that one of the neighbors will succeed.
Than you can knock out a carpet - professional and handy tools
Several factors influence the choice of a suitable device for knocking out the carpet. It is necessary to take into account not only the density of the product, but also the time of year, the length of the pile, the degree of its contamination.
- To qualitatively knock out the carpet in the winter, it is necessary to take a special tool with rubberized elements. It will not freeze and will not crack in the frost, providing a qualitative study of the product.
- In the summer, you can do with a plastic tool, the main thing is that it is flexible enough.
- You can use sticks, mops and other improvised means, but only to remove the main dirt. They will easily get rid of the sand between the villi, but do not completely remove the deposits of dust.
Tip: Today, rattans are very popular. Some mistresses they weave independently and regularly update the devices. Such products are environmentally friendly, they allow you to quickly and carefully knock out the carpet, do not break and bend well, without harming the pile.
The area of the instrument plays an important role. Small carpets and products of delicate texture can be treated with massive picks. They will allow you to quickly work out the material, spending a minimum of time and effort. But for massive products it will be correct to take a punch out with a small working area.
The work will have to spend more time, but the carpet will really be cleaned to the maximum. Acting with a large tool, you will either have to apply a lot of strength and in a few minutes they will be over, or all the dust will simply go to the top layers of the nap.
How to correctly carpet a carpet - the features of different approaches
Regardless of the season in which the treatment is carried out, there are several rules, compliance with which allows you to knock out carpets qualitatively and quickly:
- In the yard should be dry and windless. If the action takes place in the winter, then a slight snow is allowed.
- Before the treatment, the carpet must be vacuum cleaned on both sides in a dry way. Then turn it into a roll nap inside and take it out to the street. In the yard you need to inspect the bar for the presence of protruding elements, to wipe off dirt. Few people know that carpets can be knocked out and on a horizontal surface, for example, on dense grass or a short cropped lawn.
- Hanging or laying the product pile down, we begin to beat it with short frequent strokes without applying considerable force. We act consistently, moving from top to bottom. Only this way it will be possible to prevent the movement of dust to neighboring areas.
- Maximum efficiency can be achieved by working in a team. While one person will knock out one part of the product, the second person can lift the carpet by the opposite end, this will protect it from getting dust and dirt.
- After achieving the desired result, it is recommended that the product be turned upside down and again knocked out, but only from the inside. On the pile in general it is better not to impact the punch. From the front side you can knock out only very dirty carpets, previously covering them with a wet sheet.
- The final stage of the treatment will be a surface cleaning of the thing from both sides with a slightly damp brush.
In the winter months, snow is used to enhance the cleansing effect. It is plentifully applied to the surface of the decomposed product, after which the carpet is knocked out, and the remnants of snow are swept away. It will be correctly carried out on the approach to both sides of the functional device, only this way it will be possible to get rid of all the dirt. If there is not a lot of snow, they can slightly pound the suspended object, and then work out with a punch.
The summer analogue of this approach is the use of a wet sheet. The main thing is not to add detergents into the water, a clean liquid will quickly return the nap freshness. If the product is impregnated with tobacco smoke or other unpleasant odors, then the use of a very weak acetic solution is omitted. However, after cleaning the carpet will have to leave for a few hours in the fresh air, so that a strong smell will erode from it.
Contrary to popular belief, knocking carpets on open balconies is not recommended, it's almost useless. The object must be blown from all sides, only then it will be well cleansed.
