Forget about carpet stains. Soda and starch are all you need

When cleaning the house, one of the most troubling problems for many people is carpet stains.

These coatings, in principle, differ in that they accumulate dust and dirt every day. Plus - stains.

In the latter case, some believe that it is necessary to use expensive cleaning products.

Not necessarily. Most likely, you have something in your apartment that will help you solve the problem quickly and effectively without spending money on chemicals that are harmful to health.

We are talking about soda and potato starch. But it is better not to use them for cleaning dark carpets - a white coating may form.

So, first of all, we need to soak the carpet thoroughly.

Let's divide its surface into two equal parts: evenly apply 750 grams of baking soda to one, and the same amount of starch to the other.

We leave the carpet in this state for 1 hour – enough time for the soda and starch to absorb dirt and unpleasant odors.

After the specified period of time, use a medium-hard brush to clean the carpet (both circular and straight movements).

If the procedure is carried out thoroughly, the soda and starch will be removed along with the dirt.

Now let's shake our carpet outside - the remaining dirt will finally disappear.

And finally, let's vacuum it to get rid of the dust. The carpet will be clean and fresh again.
