How to disinfect the carpet at the door
Mix 1.4 cups of vinegar with 4 cups of warm water, dip the towel, wring it out and wipe the carpet. Vinegar not only eliminates pet odors, but also prevents carpet discoloration or fading. Then, after the wiping is complete, place the carpet in a ventilated place to dry.
2. Without adding water, pour 75% alcohol evenly over the blanket. After 20 minutes, it will be cleaned. The disinfection cycle is usually about once a week.

Can you spray the carpet with alcohol
This is not recommended.
Because the carpet itself is thick, it needs to be sprayed with a lot of alcohol to sterilize it. Alcohol is a flammable substance. It is recommended to spray 84 disinfectants to disinfect it because it can cause a fire if sprayed directly on it. But 84 disinfectant has a certain corrosive, and bleaching effect, so it must be diluted after use, as far as possible to reduce the concentration, otherwise it is easy to cause fading.
