How to Clean Your Home Carpet Without a Vacuum
2
For most, the cleaning of carpet is believed to
require a vacuum. These heavy, bulky machines
have improved in usability over the last few
decades, but remain difficult to use or too
expensive for those living in small spaces,
crowded apartment buildings or dormitories and
shared spaces. So, how can you keep your carpet
clean without a vacuum?

Brooms Dustpans Many would not consider using
a broom on carpet, but it can actually be an easy
and fairly effective method of cleaning,
especially in small areas. Use short strokes in a
single direction on carpets with a low nap to
accomplish cleaning, or consider investing in a
carpet broom. These specialty housekeeping items
are great for quick and quiet cleaning. Sponges
or Sponge Mops Another unconventional choice,
using a wet sponge or sponge mop on carpet to
gently scrub stains or dirty areas can be highly
effective. Sponges can pick up animal fur, hair,
dirt and other debris. The only drawback to this
method is that it can be very time- consuming,
especially if your carpet retains water or you
are interested in cleaning a large area.

Lint Rollers Another great option for small
spaces, rugs or carpets with a low nap, lint
rollers do a great job at picking up dirt, dust,
hair and other lightweight debris. Larger pieces
should be picked up by hand before using a lint
roller, and the adhesive surface must be changed
frequently if cleaning an area of more moderate
size. Small Sweepers Lightweight, nonelectric
carpet and floor sweepers have been used to clean
small messes for decades. The pickup power of
these sweepers is modest at best, but they also
dont risk tearing or otherwise damaging more
delicate carpets and rugs. The best part? These
devices typically cost less than 50, which is
one-third or less the price of fully-featured
electric vacuums.

Shake It Out or Take It Out
If the carpet youre looking to clean is an area
rug or other small, removeable sectional piece,
the option of taking the rug outside or to
another area to shake out the debris or dirt is
also one worth considering. This method can be
messy and labor-intensive, especially if you have
several pieces or large rugs to clean. However,
many people swear by a good shake-up every so
often for their carpets and rugs.

Hire it Out
If you really dont like cleaning but need it
done, there is also the option of hiring a
professional cleaning service or housekeeper to
take care of the carpet cleaning for you. This is
a good option for those with no time to clean or
who cant physically perform necessary tasks. As
you can see, there are many ways to keep your
carpets and rugs looking and feeling fresh
without using a vacuum. Whether you choose to go
with a carpet broom, a lint roller or a good,
hard shake every now and then, its best to clean
messes promptly and attend to upkeep regularly,
to extend the life of your carpeting and keep
that fresh, clean feeling all year around.
