Mum’s genius 49p hack removes fluff from carpets – and people are horrified by how dirty their floors are
EVERYONE has their own way when it comes to freeing your carpet of hair, dust, bacteria and anything else you might find lurking in it’s delicate fibres.
And while some people simply run over the surface with a vacuum occasionally, chances are you’re not picking up all the trapped dirt – but this hack might just change all that.
A cleaning fan revealed her clever carpet cleaning hack and people are shocked to learn just how dirt is lurking in the floor.
The mum was challenged to find an effective carpet-cleaning method after being quoted up to £90 to clean the carpet in her just her kids’ room alone.
She decided to try a hack she’d seen before but never tried, which involves using a cheap squeegee to scrape along the carpet fibres bringing all the hair and dust out.
From there you can vacuum as per normal knowing full well that you’ve effectively removed everything stuck in the carpets.
She shared a clip of the hack in action, alongside a couple of snaps which show just how much she’d removed from her carpets with the squeegee – and it’s incredible.
In the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, she wrote: “Seen this trick being posted on a page I’m on.. wow just wow how amazing I wasn’t even expecting it to work!
“Bring the hair and dust up out of your carpets and this is just a couple pound to buy. I was quoted 70-90 pound to clean the carpet in kids room.. but it looks fab now super made up.”
Many commented saying they too use the trick, but are still amazed by how much hair comes out each time.
“I do it every week honestly the hair that comes up shocks me. I hoover twice a day,” one person revealed.
While another said: “I do this on a regular basis. I was shocked the first time I done it.”
Loving the hack, on person added: “Thank you for posting this, I’ve just done a bit of my bedroom carpet. Let’s say I am to embarrassed to post a picture of what I collected.”
Meanwhile, others suggested using a rubber broom, or even flip flops to do the same.
