                     Clean Your Rugs or Carpet in a Truly Environmentally 
Friendly Way
Rugs and carpets harbor mildew, mold, fungi, and dander; all of which are 
responsible for allergies or infections. The soaps and solvents which are 
traditionally used to clean carpets are in fact quite difficult to remove from 
carpet fibers even after repeated rinses and tend to leave behind a typically 
coarse and jagged feel to the fibers when it dries. This is because these 
soaps, detergents, shampoos, and other strong solvents contain harsh and 
toxic chemicals.
   Vacuuming is the first line of defense for Eco-
friendly tools to get rid of all surface debris 
and dust. Consistent vacuuming takes away 
impurities that tend to get stuck on the 
surface of the rug or carpet and tend to 
spread.
    Spot treatments are a smart tactic to delay a long 
cleaning session with natural spot treatments. Instead of 
spending on cleaning products, we recommend that you 
should spot treat your carpet by targeting small problem 
areas. Several natural products from the house will help 
you solve this down for you. Use salt for wine, mud and 
dirt stains; club soda for coffee stains and corn starch/ 
cornmeal for grease spot clearance. Some of the natural 
products will help combat odors. Using baking soda 
overnight, expose the carpet to direct sunlight and fresh 
air.
    Steam Carpet Cleaning is another Eco-friendly corner-to-
corner cleaning option. This uses hot water at high pressure to 
penetrate and infiltrate carpet fibers, dissolving and dislodging 
dirt and germs. The use of a cleaning agent is necessary for 
this method and there are several Eco-friendly ones on the 
market. Very often steam carpet cleaning is performed using 
polyethylene or naphthalene, both of which are known to have 
toxic effects and health risks, but that is not the case with 
HavaFix. At HavaFix, we ensure the usage of only plant-based 
alternatives in addition to non-toxic steam extraction methods. 
This method is a great option to rejuvenate your rugs and 
carpets.
     Dry Carpet Cleaning, also known as compound cleaning, 
is the latest method to debut in the market. Its 
popularity stems from the fact that it’s effective and 
convenient. Since its invention in the 80s many cleaning 
compounds has been developed by different companies 
some of which are easy to duplicate in your own kitchen. 
An example is Arm and Hammer baking soda which is an 
all green cleaner. One simply spreads it on the carpet, let 
it sit and then vacuum it up. It very effectively cleans and 
deodorizes the carpet and leaves behind a lovely 
lavender smell.
    With these Eco-friendly solutions cleaning 
methods you do not have to worry about any 
harmful consequences because the water-
based cleaners are completely bio-degradable 
and safe for the environment. There is no 
sticky residue left behind to attract dirt, so 
your carpet will feel soft and stay clean longer.
