Okay so If wanted to get rid of carpet stains from animal urine or say spilled drinks that are months old would baking soda work to get them out? My parents aren't too clean or careful and don't care much that the carpet is so messed up because they never have anyone over and are constantly worrying about other things. I hate it it bothers me out so I want to take initiative and clean it. Would it work? If so how much? And if not I'd really appreciate you telling me what would. I can't rent any machines since I don't work lol I'm 15.. Thanks.Have a nice day(:
It's unfortunate that you're in that situation but I commend you for wanting to make your living environment a cleaner place. I think you're already aware that having a carpet cleaning machine would be much better...but try using a scrub brush with oxy-clean solution....or using white vinegar and baking soda solution. (Vinegar disinfects and may help to eliminate the urine odor). You could try this combination first....and then go over it using the oxy-clean solution to clean more. After carpet is dried, regular sprinkling of baking soda all over it and letting it sit, then vacuuming it up will help to take out some odor, too. (But if pets have been regularly going on the carpet, there are stains all the way down to the floorboard and carpet is ruined, really). Just do the best you can in this situation, okay? See if you can stress the importance of the pets being able to go outside to do their business. Pet stores sell products that are like pet grass mats where they can go on instead of having accidents on carpets. (Check a pet store online and see if your parents would get those). Pet stores also sell cleaning products, too, if they want to inquire about having some on hand for the future.
i do no longer the Soda did the cleansing,it merely did get rid of the scent,for that reason giving the colour to the mattress through fact of its powder like composition,in case you go with a cleansing tip on your Carpet,I advise which you pass to the positioning under.
Sprinkle bicarb soda (baking powder) over the carpet and vacuum. The carpet will be cleaner and less smelly. Then treat the stains by rubbing the bicarb into the pile of the carpet and pouring a little white vinegar over the area. Allow to dry, then vacuum. You may have to repeat this process, but it does work. It is inexpensive and does not damage the carpet. I use this method on carpets (urine stains from an old cat) tapestry sofa and chairs and dining chairs which are antiques and it works every time.
