Use baking soda to refresh musty carpets
You can’t always have your carpets professionally cleaned; for one, it’s not as cheap as one might think and secondly, sometimes they’re not doing such a great job. Instead of paying someone else to do a lousy job, try cleaning your carpets with something that you already have in the house: baking soda.
Yes, as strange as it may sound, baking soda is a cheap, all-natural solution to deodorize your carpets and give them back their color and softness. “Sprinkle some baking soda on the carpet, let it sit for at least an hour, and vacuum it up,” recommends Matt Clayton, founder of Pet Hair Patrol.
