The Secret to Spotless Carpets: Skip Water and Ammonia, Use This Simple Household Ingredient

Sprinkle a generous handful of baking soda evenly across the carpet or directly on stained areas.

For added freshness, mix the baking soda with a few drops of your favorite essential oil before applying.

Gently brush the baking soda into the carpet with a soft brush or broom to ensure it penetrates the fibers.

Let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for stronger odors or stains).

Vacuum thoroughly to remove all the powder.
