Step-by-Step: The Carpet Cleaning Trick

1. Sprinkle Baking Soda Generously

Start by sprinkling a generous layer of baking soda over the area you want to clean. This powerful natural deodorizer absorbs odors and helps loosen dirt from deep within the carpet fibers. If you want a scented finish, mix in a few drops of essential oil with the baking soda before sprinkling.

Let it sit for 15–30 minutes (or longer for deep odors).

2. Mix the Vinegar Spray

While the baking soda is doing its thing, mix your cleaning spray:

1 part white vinegar
1 part warm water Pour the solution into a spray bottle and shake well.

3. Spray & Activate the Reaction

Lightly spray the vinegar solution over the baking soda. Don’t soak the carpet — a light mist is all you need. You’ll see fizzing and bubbling as the two ingredients react, lifting dirt and grime to the surface.

Let this sit for 5–10 minutes.

4. Scrub or Blot Gently

Using a soft brush or clean cloth, gently scrub or blot the area. This helps lift stains and loosen residue. For delicate carpets, blotting is better than scrubbing to avoid damaging fibers.

5. Let It Dry, Then Vacuum

Allow the carpet to dry completely — this may take a few hours depending on ventilation. Once dry, vacuum thoroughly to remove all the dried baking soda and loosened dirt.

Voila! You’ll be amazed by how much cleaner, brighter, and fresher your carpet looks and smells.

Bonus Tips

Test on a small area first to ensure colorfastness.
For high-traffic areas, do this once a month to maintain freshness.
For stubborn stains, repeat the process or follow up with a dedicated spot treatment.
