Carpet stains are a pain—whether it’s spilled coffee, muddy footprints, or mystery spots from your pet. Scrubbing, soaking, or calling in a pro can take forever. Luckily, my nana has a clever trick that makes cleaning stains nearly effortless—and it only takes a few basic ingredients.
What You’ll Need:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Warm water
- Spray bottle
- Clean cloth or sponge
The 5-Step Cleaning Hack:
- Sprinkle baking soda over the stain.
- Mix equal parts vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle.
- Spray the mix onto the baking soda—you’ll see fizzing (that’s the magic!).
- Let it sit 10–15 minutes.
- Gently blot with a cloth. Rinse with water and blot dry.
Why It Works:
The fizzing reaction lifts dirt and breaks down stains without damaging your carpet. Baking soda absorbs odors and grease, while vinegar helps kill bacteria and loosen residue.
