Want fresher, cleaner carpets without spending a fortune on fancy products?
There’s a simple, affordable trick hiding in your pantry:
baking soda.
🧽 Why Use Baking Soda on Carpets?
Baking soda is a natural deodoriser and gentle abrasive. It:
- Absorbs odours from pets, food, or musty rooms
- Loosens dirt and debris, making vacuuming more effective
- Leaves your carpets smelling fresh and clean
🧺 How to Use It – Step by Step
- Sprinkle baking soda generously over your carpet.
- Let it sit for at least 15–30 minutes (longer for deeper odours—overnight is fine too).
- Vacuum slowly to lift the baking soda and the grime it trapped.
🕓 How Often Should You Do This?
Once every 1–2 weeks keeps your carpets in top condition—more often in high-traffic or pet areas.
🐾 Safe for Pets and Kids?
Yes! Baking soda is non-toxic. Just make sure it’s fully vacuumed up before playtime resumes.
Bonus Tip:
Add a few drops of essential oil (like lavender or lemon) to your baking soda before sprinkling for a light, natural scent boost.
