Oh, the pleasures of living by the sea! The scent of musty, wet carpets, combined with the waves’ rhythmic ebb and flow and the crisp sea breeze? Yes, we are still unable to completely avoid the sporadic traps of everyday life, even in the idyllic setting of the Northern Beaches. Everyone needs a thorough carpet freshening, or as we like to call it, Upholstery cleaning northern beaches, whether it’s because of a stray spill, foot traffic, dogs, or just the excessive humidity we occasionally experience!
My carpet smells, but why?
We must identify the source of the issue before we can address it. Like sponges, carpets absorb everything, including dust and pollen brought in from the outside world and that accidental wine spill at your most recent party. Not to be forgotten are our animal companions! Even while we adore them, they do have a part to play in the stench issue.
Baking Soda’s Power
Look in your kitchen pantry before spending a fortune on expensive carpet cleaners. Baking soda is a natural deodorizer in addition to being used in baking. After liberally scattering it over your carpet, vacuum it up after a few hours or overnight. This easy method can significantly reduce mild odors and restore a fresh scent to your carpet.
Vinegar Comes to the Aid
A solution made of equal parts water and white vinegar can be quite effective, despite the fact that it may seem counterintuitive (vinegar has a quite strong smell). Don’t oversaturate the carpet when you spray the mixture over it; instead, let it air dry. Once the vinegar is dried, the smell goes away, taking the unpleasant smells from the carpet with it. The vinegar will help neutralize smells.
Expert Handling
If the smell is particularly strong or persistent, it could be time to hire experts. Professional upholstery cleaning in the Northern Beaches will guarantee a thorough cleaning, getting rid of both surface-level and deeply ingrained smells. They can revitalize your carpets with their specialist equipment and products.
