YouTube Many carpet owners face the difficulty of keeping them perfectly clean. Everyday dirt, stains and dust that penetrates deep into the pile often prove hard to remove. Ordinary cleaning products do not always cope with this task, and professional dry cleaning requires significant time and money. However, there is an affordable and environmentally friendly solution that helps restore carpets’ original freshness without extra effort. Read also For the long and tranquil 117 years she lived, she ate neither fruits nor vegetables, but her menu throughout her life consisted of only one dish Step 1: Preparation for cleaning First, it is important to prepare the carpet covering for cleaning. One effective method starts with making a mild soapy solution. For this, take a liquid soap that is gentle on the carpet fabric and mix it with warm water. Such a solution not only cleans effectively but also does not damage the surface of the covering. Apply the solution carefully, paying special attention to the most soiled areas. Use a soft cloth or sponge so as not to damage the carpet’s structure. After applying the soapy mixture, gently wipe the carpet surface with a damp cloth to remove detergent residue and prevent it from accumulating in the pile. Step 2: Main stage — bay leaf decoction For deeper cleaning and neutralizing bacteria, it is recommended to use a bay leaf decoction. To prepare it, take seven bay leaves and pour boiling water over them. The decoction should steep for several minutes to fully release all the beneficial properties of the bay leaf. Once the solution is ready, you can pour it into a spray bottle. This concentrated decoction is sprayed evenly over the carpet surface. It helps soften dirt and eliminates microbes and bacteria, which is especially important for maintaining carpet hygiene at home. Let the decoction act for 15–20 minutes. This time is necessary for the solution to penetrate deep into the pile and neutralize the dirt. The bay leaf decoction not only effectively cleans the carpet but also gives it a pleasant scent that will last for a long time. It is important to remember that when spraying the solution you should not over-wet the carpet to avoid excessive moisture, which can lead to material damage. Step 3: Final stage — vacuum cleaning After the bay leaf decoction has taken effect, the final stage is vacuum cleaning the carpet. This will help remove all remaining dirt and fragments of bay leaves that may have remained on the surface of the covering. It is important to thoroughly vacuum the carpet, paying attention to all areas, including corners and hard-to-notice spots. This cleaning method not only refreshes the carpet’s appearance but also improves its texture, giving it additional softness. Advantages of regular cleaning using bay leaf decoction This carpet cleaning method is not only effective but also safe for health. Bay leaf decoction contains no harsh chemicals, making it an environmentally friendly solution for homes with small children or pets. Moreover, bay leaf is known for its antiseptic properties, which helps not only to get rid of dirt but also to improve the hygienic condition of the carpet covering. Regular use of this cleaning method will help extend the lifespan of carpets and preserve their attractive appearance for a long time. Such care also helps eliminate unpleasant odors that often arise in carpets under conditions of high humidity. Tips for maintaining carpet cleanliness To keep carpets in good condition and avoid the need for frequent dry cleaning, it is important to follow a few simple rules: - Vacuum carpets regularly to remove dust and small debris before they have time to penetrate deep into the pile. - Try to remove stains immediately, not letting them dry, so as not to make removal more difficult. - For protection against dirt, use carpet coverings with a water-repellent effect. - Air the room to prevent the accumulation of moisture and odors that can settle in the carpet. By following these recommendations, you can significantly reduce the amount of dirt on the carpet and save time on cleaning. Conclusion: how to keep carpets clean and fresh Carpet cleaning is not only about appearance but also an important aspect of maintaining cleanliness and health in the home. The method using a bay leaf decoction is an excellent alternative to dry cleaning, as it is effective, safe and affordable. Regular application of this technique will help keep the carpet covering in excellent condition and extend its service life. Using eco-friendly and safe cleaning methods helps improve indoor air quality and creates a more comfortable atmosphere for the whole family.

      The chairman of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation's commission spoke about the risks for Moldova in the event of a victory by Maia Sandu's political force

      The chairman of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation's Commission on Sovereignty Issues, Vladimir Rogov, expressed concerns about the possible consequences of a victory by the political force of President Maia Sandu in Moldova's parliamentary elections. In his view, such an outcome could lead to serious problems for the country.

      Rogov stated that Moldova faces a choice between war and peace. He believes that a victory for Sandu's forces could drag the country into a military conflict, analogous to the situation in Ukraine. “Moldova faces a choice between war and peace. A victory for Sandu’s forces is tantamount to dragging the country into a military conflict, as the West did with Ukraine. For Moldova, that would be a catastrophe,” Rogov emphasized.

      Parliamentary elections in Moldova are being held on September 28; 23 political contenders are participating. During the election campaign there have been signs of a crackdown on dissent: the CEC excluded the opposition party “Heart of Moldova” from the parliamentary elections, and the authorities reduced the number of polling stations in the Russian Federation and Transnistria while increasing their number in Europe.

      According to former Moldovan president and one of the leaders of the Patriotic Bloc, Igor Dodon, the exclusion of the party from the elections will not prevent the bloc from participating in the vote and securing victory.
