<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">If you are anything like me, you have a love-hate relationships with carpets. I love that they make the sound of my kids running through the house a little less loud, but I hate cleaning them! Well fear not, I have some carpet cleaning hacks!</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">If I could, I would have hardwood floors in our house but since we are renting that isn&#8217;t possible at the moment. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Therefore I have had to learn some tips and carpet cleaning hacks along the way. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">With 2 kids, 5 and under, our carpets have taken a beating over the years. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Between potty trainings, baby spit-ups, food spills, random dirt and markers our carpet have seen better days. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://mamabearreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Copy-of-Untitled-57.png" class="wp-image-8533" width="429" height="238"/></figure></div>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">While I could invest (or even rent from <a href="https://homedepot.sjv.io/5OJyL" target="_blank" rel="sponsored noreferrer noopener"><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">Home Depot</span></a>) a carpet cleaner that would suck out all the nastiness, I don&#8217;t find spending $100+ on a carpet cleaning machine to purchase for the small amount of carpet we have. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">For reference, we rent a duplex which is only about 900-1000 sq. ft. and only the bedrooms and living room is carpeted. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">So between the furniture and small square footage, we don&#8217;t have <em>that</em> much carpet so spending a fortune on a carpet shampooer is a bit much. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Therefore, I have learned some carpet cleaning hacks that have saved my carpet from looking absolutely wrecked. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Baking Soda</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">This one is common, but maybe you have not tried it yet. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Baking soda sprinkled on the carpets can draw out any odors. Same with the fridge. Place an opened box of baking soda in the fridge and use as a deodorizer. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Same with the carpets, sprinkle a little bit on the carpets, let it sit for few minutes then vacuum it up. Leaves fresh smelling carpets every time. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Carpet Cleaners</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Specifically the foaming kind. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Personally I use and love <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+fITBL-r6CM6JRbSTqkKUSA" target="_blank" rel="sponsored noreferrer noopener">this carpet cleaner</a>.</span></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"> It foams plus comes with a brush head directly on the bottle to scrub out the stains. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Very handy and compact to store in a cabinet or under the sink. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">It does have chemicals, so store away from pets and kids. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">I love this one for really tough, caked in, been there awhile stains. The foaming action really helps break up the stain. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://mamabearreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Copy-of-Untitled-58.png" class="wp-image-8534" width="414" height="230"/></figure></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brush Attachment</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">This <a href="https://rstyle.me/+jR9f411XoA1P8t0qYeN39g" target="_blank" rel="sponsored noreferrer noopener"><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">drill brush attachment</span></a> bad boy is probably my most favorite item ever. I recently got this bundle of attachments for your power drill to do the heavy work for you. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">I love the carpet attachment (white brush head) because I can spray the foaming spray and use this attachment to really scrub hard to break up the stain. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Below is a before and after of the carpet right in front of the main door which is the most high traffic area and had seen much better days!</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">This was after just one pass on it! I sprayed the foaming carpet cleaner, used this brush until the stain was gone then dried with a towel.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><ul class="blocks-gallery-grid"><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img src="https://mamabearreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/IMG_7157-2-1-768x1024.png" alt="" data-id="8538" data-full-url="https://mamabearreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/IMG_7157-2-1.png" data-link="https://mamabearreviews.com/?attachment_id=8538" class="wp-image-8538"/><figcaption class="blocks-gallery-item__caption">before</figcaption></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img src="https://mamabearreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/IMG_7160-2-768x1024.png" alt="" data-id="8537" data-link="https://mamabearreviews.com/?attachment_id=8537" class="wp-image-8537"/><figcaption class="blocks-gallery-item__caption">after</figcaption></figure></li></ul></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">The difference is incredible, plus its super satisfying to do too!</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Plus the other attachments it comes with can clean so much more around the house too! More on those cleaning hacks later!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Maintenance</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Now this one is easier said than done, but after all that work cleaning those carpets you want to make sure they stay that way right?</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Try enforcing a no-shoe policy in your house. Have slipper by the front door that are only for inside use to keep the dirt out. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Lay a blanket or towel down if the kids want a snack in the living room while watching a show. I have a few older blankets that I lay down for the kids for snack that way the blanket is easier to wash than the carpets. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">These two things should dramatically help the maintenance of those clean carpets and cut down on the amount of times you have to deep clean them. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Plus make sure to <em>try</em> and vacuum up those crumbs when they happen to ensure they don&#8217;t get ground into the carpet and <em>become</em> stains. </p>

I think this would be perfect for my couch downstairs where the cat sleeps and I think pees lol. We've gotten rid of much of our carpet thankfully, but I need to look into these items for my basement couch.
Where has this article been my whole life? I love that something as simple as baking soda can combat odors. Thanks for the tips!
