Versatile and practical: 20 ways to use baking soda

2. To clean carpets and rugs

Most of the time rugs and carpets carry a lot of dirt and germs because they are always on the floor. People step on them and sometimes, we spill food and other things on the carpets. Baking soda comes in very handy when it comes to cleaning heavily stained rugs and carpets. Fortunately, it’s a simple process that just involves sprinkling some baking soda on the rug and adding some hot water on it. Allow it to rest overnight. If the stains are still persistent, you can simply repeat the process once again.
