How to Clean Carpet Padding
what you'll need
- Dust masks
- Dust coats
- Knee protection
- Vinegar
- Hot water
- Cold soda and a mix of peroxide
Carpet padding is a pad that works as an insulator when placed underneath a carpet. Now, before embarking on a process of cleaning the carpet padding, ensure that you have the required materials.
Step 1 - Furniture
Ensure that all furniture within the room is taken out so that you can have the space to pullout the carpet.
Step 2 - Stains
Once the carpet padding is fully exposed, you should be able to identify whether there are any stains that may be as a result of liquids that may have spilt on the carpet.
Step 3 - Cleaning
One cup of vinegar for every 2 and ½ gallons of hot water works best in the removal of stains as well as old shampoo that usually get stuck from the carpet on top. Cold soda and a mix of peroxide and water in the ratio of 3 to 7 are also preferred.
Step 4 - Finishing Up
Let the carpet padding dry in the shade as direct sun will make the carpet padding hard and result in breaking. So you have carpet padding so clean and renewed after such a hard session.
