Regardless of how clean your home is, old carpets accrue stains and appear dingy. Fortunately, you can still brighten the carpet and remove stains if you can’t afford a professional cleaning service.

While numerous cleaning solutions and stain removers comprise harsh chemicals and release strong odors, some household products can clean your carpets efficiently. If you’re seeking the best home remedies, check out this list.

Vinegar Solution

White vinegar is the ideal choice for deodorizing and carpet cleaning. You can dilute half a cup of vinegar with a cup of water. Transfer in a spray bottle and conduct a spot treatment of the stain then allow the vinegar to act for 10-15 minutes and blot using a paper towel.

It’s usually advisable to test the cleaning solution before you get started. Spray on a small segment of the carpet to ensure no discoloration takes place. Although white vinegar is excellent for all types of fabrics, this test can help you ensure that your carpet remains looking new.

Baking Soda

Besides being known for teeth whitening and a great addition to baked products, baking soda is a natural substance that will issue excellent results when used on a dirty carpet.

You can clean your carpet by simply sprinkling the substance over the vacuumed carpet for a few hours before re-vacuuming.

You’ll also discover that a mixture of baking soda and white vinegar is excellent for eliminating a bad smell and stains from carpets. When you combine equal parts of both substances, you’ll generate a thick paste.

Ensure you use warm water to dilute it until you obtain the right kind of consistency; it ought to be thin and runny. You can use a sponge or toothbrush to apply the cleaning liquid on the stained area. Permit the carpet area to dry before you vacuum clean thoroughly.

Dish Detergent

You’ll discover that the detergent you use for washing dirty plates is also excellent for carpet cleaning. Furthermore, it can be an affordable and convenient product for eliminating stains and restoring dirty carpets to their previous state.

Ensure you select a clear detergent since the coloring used could produce carpet stains depending on the variety. Use some water to dilute the detergent and transfer in a spray bottle. The appropriate ratio is half a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid to a cup of water.

Dip a sponge into the liquid and rub gently into the carpet’s stained area. Blot using a paper, permit the carpet to dry, and vacuum clean thoroughly to eliminate any residue.

Club Soda

Club soda can be a great cleaning product if the stains are water-soluble. You simply need to spray it onto the stained area or soak a clean cloth to blot the stain.

Continue soaking the cloth and repeat until you extract all the carpet stain. Ensure you dry the carpet thoroughly once you’re done.

Bear in mind that moisture left in the fiber will generate unpleasant odor since it will form good conditions for mildew and mold.
