Get ready to transform your floors with minimal effort!
Ingredients:
1 cup of white vinegar
1 tablespoon of baking soda
1 cup of warm water
1 teaspoon of dish soap
A clean cloth or sponge
A spray bottle
A vacuum cleaner
Directions:
Prepare the Cleaning Solution: In a spray bottle, mix the white vinegar, baking soda, warm water, and dish soap. Shake the bottle well to combine all the ingredients.
Apply the Solution: Lightly spray the solution onto the stained or dirty areas of the carpet. Be careful not to oversaturate the carpet.
Let it Sit: Allow the mixture to sit on the carpet for about 10–15 minutes. This gives the ingredients time to break down dirt, stains, and odors.
Scrub the Carpet: Using a clean cloth or sponge, gently scrub the affected areas. For tougher stains, use a soft-bristled brush to work the solution into the fibers.
Blot and Rinse: After scrubbing, use a damp cloth to blot away any excess solution. Rinse with warm water if necessary, and continue blotting until the area is clean.
Dry the Carpet: Once the carpet is clean, let it air dry. You can speed up the drying process by using a fan or opening a window.
Serving and Storage Tips:
If you’re cleaning large areas, repeat the process for each section of the carpet.
For regular maintenance, repeat this cleaning trick every few months to keep your carpets looking fresh.
Store any leftover cleaning solution in a cool, dry place for future use.
