How Do You Clean Carpet With Baking Soda & Vinegar?
Carpeting is a warm, cozy flooring option used throughout many homes. It can come in a variety of lengths, but since carpeting is made of fibers, dirt and soil collect and absorb into the carpet constantly. There are a few carpet powders and sprays that deodorize carpeting, but you often need a cleaning and disinfecting solution. Instead of paying high prices for retail products, clean your carpet with baking soda and vinegar. Fill a spray bottle with an equal mix of warm water and white vinegar. Spray the solution over your carpeting, and allow to air dry. The vinegar is a natural disinfectant that will kill bacteria and odor. Cover your carpeting with a light coating of baking soda after the vinegar solution dries, and let sit for 30 minutes. The baking soda is a natural cleaning and deodorizing element and also absorbs moisture in the carpet fibers. Vacuum your carpet after 30 minutes to collect the baking soda as well as any loose dirt.
