How to Use Baking Soda to Clean Carpet

The cleaning products available on the market can be expensive, also most of them contain harsh chemicals. Baking soda is a basic household ingredient with acknowledged properties in cleaning. It is an inexpensive product that will help you to clean your carpet in green manner.
The baking soda absorbs both odours and stains without requiring rough scrubbing. It is very effective in removing pet odours from carpets. However, baking soda must be used correctly in order to work efficiently as a carpet cleaning solution.
Here are the steps recommended by Parsons Green cleaners to properly clean your carpet with baking soda:
  1. Sprinkle a light, even coating of baking soda onto your carpet as applying extra baking soda on heavily stained areas.
  2. Allow the baking soda to sit undisturbed for at least an hour and then vacuum the carpet thoroughly, ensuring that no baking soda is left on it.
  3. If there are any remaining stains, make a cleaning solution of 1 cup of warm water and 2 tbsp of mild liquid detergent. Use a small bowl to mix the ingredients into it.
  4. Use a clean sponge dipped into your cleaning solution to blot the stained area gently. Repeat blotting until the liquid is absorbed into the carpet, making the stains to fade.
  5. Dampen a white cloth with warm water and use it to rinse any lingering detergent by blotting gently the stained areas.
  6. After the last stain has been removed, let the carpet air dry.
