Let it sit for **15–30 minutes** (or longer for deep odors).
#### 2. **Mix the Vinegar Spray**
While the baking soda is doing its thing, mix your cleaning spray:
– 1 part **white vinegar**
– 1 part **warm water**
Pour the solution into a spray bottle and shake well.
#### 3. **Spray & Activate the Reaction**
Lightly spray the vinegar solution over the baking soda. Don’t soak the carpet — a light mist is all you need. You’ll see **fizzing and bubbling** as the two ingredients react, lifting dirt and grime to the surface.
Let this sit for **5–10 minutes**.
#### 4. **Scrub or Blot Gently**
Using a **soft brush** or clean cloth, gently scrub or blot the area. This helps lift stains and loosen residue. For delicate carpets, blotting is better than scrubbing to avoid damaging fibers.
#### 5. **Let It Dry, Then Vacuum**
Allow the carpet to **dry completely** — this may take a few hours depending on ventilation. Once dry, **vacuum thoroughly** to remove all the dried baking soda and loosened dirt.
Voila! You’ll be amazed by how much **cleaner, brighter, and fresher** your carpet looks and smells.
