Households pressed to use 59p item to help save their carpet and keep it clean

Cleaning experts advise using affordable bicarbonate of soda to remove stains and odors from carpets, recommending spot treatment rather than full carpet cleaning.

  • Experts recommend a 59p bicarbonate of soda as a spot-cleaning solution, urging households to try this inexpensive product available at supermarkets such as Sainsbury's.
  • Cleaning professionals add that Sarah Dewison, owner of North West Commercial Cleans Limited, recommends bicarbonate of soda for spot cleaning carpets, as supported by Graeme Shelley’s advice.
  • The recommended method is to patch-test and use about one teaspoon of bicarb per every 10-20cm2, then cover with a damp tea towel and leave for a few hours before hoovering, Graeme Shelley explained.
  • Experts caution that bicarbonate of soda suits spot treatment only, while annual deep cleans such as shampooing or steam cleaning and weekly vacuuming are recommended.
