To clean carpets during COVID-19, use cleaners designed for soft surfaces such as carpets, rugs, and drapes. Launder machine-washable items in warm water and dry them completely. Disinfect with EPA List N products if required. Regularly vacuum carpets to keep them clean. Prioritize safety and hygiene while cleaning.
For deep cleaning, consider hot water extraction. This method injects hot water mixed with cleaner into the carpet fibers, then extracts it along with dirt and pathogens. Alternatively, steam cleaning can also kill viruses and germs using high temperature. Remember to allow carpets to dry completely after cleaning to prevent mold growth.
Ventilate the area well by opening windows or using fans. This allows for movement of fresh air, which is essential during and after the cleaning process. Additionally, avoid walking on wet carpets to maintain their condition and avoid slipping.
As you care for your carpet, consider implementing regular cleaning schedules. Maintaining cleanliness can help promote a safer environment. The next section will explore additional steps for maintaining a healthy home during the pandemic, including air quality control and surface disinfection.
