Nothing can make a home unwelcoming like lingering odors trapped in carpeting. Between cooking odors, pet smells, and the general aromas of day-to-day life, carpeting can get pretty, well, smelly.

Many of us turn to the sprays and powders available on the market that promise to make your carpeting smell fresh and clean.Those sprays that promise to eliminate odors,Good Smelling Carpet is not Miles Away Articles leaving your carpet smelling clean and fresh? The clean smell went away as soon as the spray dried.

Carpet odor that is not overwhelming can often be dealt with effectively by using a common household item: baking soda. The baking soda should be distributed in an even layer on the carpeting and allowed to stand for several minutes. This method allows the odor to be absorbed by the baking soda. By vacuuming up the baking soda, the carpet smell is eliminated and the carpeting is left with a fresh and clean smell.

Why Does This Work?

It works simply. Baking soda is a proven deodorizer. It absorbs odors, which is why so many of us keep a box in the fridge. The aromatics give the baking soda a light scent once you combine them, so once you sprinkle it onto your carpets, unpleasant odors are replaced with light, natural fragrance.

Unlike those store-bought concoctions, this really works, and you will feel good about using it in your home, around children and pets.

Carpet foam cleaners may be necessary to get rid of carpet odor when baking soda is not sufficient to deal with the issue. The foam cleaners are sprayed in an even coating on the surface of the carpet. Depending on the usage instructions, the foam is allowed to soak into the carpeting and dry to a powder or is worked into the pile of the carpet using a sponge mop. Once the product has been left in place for the specified time, the residue is vacuumed off the carpet, leaving behind odor free carpeting.

Some carpet odors are nothing more than the product of small amounts of dirt that have become trapped in the pile of the carpeting. When this is the case, often all you need to do is dislodge the dirt and remove it from the pile. Renting a water-based steam cleaner is powerful enough to loosen and remove the dirt from between the fibers and eliminate the odor. Using a carpet cleaning fluid as part of the steam cleaning will also help to rid carpet odor from the room.
