A trampled carpet covered in stains can ruin the impression of even the most stylish and well-thought-out interior.

In this case, it is customary to take the carpet to the dry cleaner, rent a steam cleaner or go to a car wash, but there is another, much simpler way.

You can make a cleaning product that will do the job just as well.

To do this, you will need to pour 2 cups of soda, 0.5 cups of cornstarch, the same amount of coarse corn flour, 4 bay leaves, 1 tablespoon of cloves and 1 tablespoon of borax into a blender.

If you can’t get the last ingredient, don’t despair – you can manage without it.

So, turn on the device and grind all the ingredients until you get a homogeneous mass.

Now the cleaning powder should be poured into a container with holes made in it and generously distributed over the surface of the carpet.

Leave the carpet in this condition for at least a couple of hours, or better yet, overnight.

All you have to do after the specified period is vacuum the floor covering and enjoy its fresh look.
