A carpet is a product that many apartments cannot do without.

Thus, the covering helps to insulate the floor and isolate sounds. In addition, the carpet often becomes a decoration of the room.

However, this material also has its disadvantages. One of them is the rapid absorption of dirt, and therefore unpleasant odors.

Simply vacuuming the carpet is not enough to solve the problem. You need to act more cleverly.

The essence of the life hack

If the carpet has become the source of an unpleasant odor, do not rush to “go over” the product with the brush of a working vacuum cleaner.

An hour before you begin this process, there is one important preliminary procedure that should be carried out.

We are talking about using baking soda. Sodium bicarbonate is a sorbent that relatively quickly absorbs excess "aromas".

All you need to do is sprinkle the carpet with soda and wait 60 minutes. During this time, the product will remove unpleasant odors.

Now the product can be vacuumed. The carpet will not only be clean, but also neutral smelling.
