People from the older generation probably witnessed the moment when grandmothers took the carpet out of the house and beat it out, placing it on a snowdrift.
When winter is outside, it is worth remembering grandma’s method of carpet care and understanding whether it is still relevant today.
Three Reasons to Clean Your Carpet with Snow
Firstly, the vacuum cleaner cannot cope with all the amount of dust that the carpet catches. Therefore, a deeper cleaning is needed than we can afford at home.
To do this, take the carpet outside, place it on a large snowdrift with the inside facing up, throw snow on it and beat it thoroughly with a beater.
Then the product needs to be turned over, snow thrown onto the pile and brushed over.
Secondly, grandma’s method refreshes the item no worse than washing: after bringing it home, the carpet will smell of frosty freshness.
Thirdly, cleaning the carpet with snow is the most environmentally friendly method.
You won’t need any chemicals to refresh the product and deeply clean it from dust, and you won’t have to spend money on professional dry cleaning services to achieve the same result.
