How do you freshen musty carpet?

• <div><p>How you freshen a musty carpet depends on what’s causing it to smell funky. Baking soda can soak up some smells, and vinegar is a natural deodorizer. These DIY solutions can lift out light odors. However, steam cleaning or hot water extraction may be the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-carpet-cleaning-methods-pros-and-cons.htm">best way to clean your carpet</a> when the smell is deeply ingrained. These penetrate deep into carpet fibers and can remove musty mold spores and pet urine smells. </p></div>

What is the quickest way to get rid of skunk smell?

• <div><p>The formula for neutralizing skunk smell is one quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, ¼ cup baking soda, and one to two teaspoons of dish soap. The <a href="https://wildlife.unl.edu/pdfs/removing-skunk-odor.pdf">University of Nebraska</a> says a chemist discovered that this mixture changes the thiols, the chemical compound that causes the odor, into acids that don’t carry a skunk smell, thus eliminating the odor. </p></div>

Q: How can I maintain my microfiber couch after cleaning?

Q: Can I clean a mattress with a carpet cleaner?

• <div><p>You can clean some mattresses with a carpet cleaner that has an upholstery attachment. Mattresses made out of memory foam or other foam generally should not be cleaned with a carpet cleaner, although many traditional spring mattresses can be cleaned this way. Consult the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions to be sure. If you do use a carpet cleaner, be aware that it will take much longer to fully dry and be careful not to oversaturate the mattress.</p></div>

Q: Is soot hard to remove?

• <div><p>Soot can be harder to remove compared to other types of stains given its acidic nature. It can also cause underlying paint to peel off during the cleaning process. If your soot issue is a result of smoke damage, it&rsquo;s recommended you call a pro to help remove it versus doing it yourself.</p></div>
