Baking soda is a fantastic neutralizing agent for removing pet odors. It’s also safe to use around pets and kids, which is why many homeowners choose it. Let it sit overnight then vacuum the baking soda out of the carpet in the morning. Repeat the process if odors persist.

You’ll need to decide which cleaning treatments and methods are the right fit for your rug. Depending on the rug material, age, and the amount of traffic it gets, different treatments to consider include:

• Stain removal: $10–$50 per stain

• Anti-odor treatment: $15–$75 per rug

• Stain protection: $1.50–$2.50 per square foot

• Moth protection: $1–$2 per square foot

• Wool treatment: $1–$2 per square foot

• Antimicrobial disinfectant: $2–$3 per square foot

Cleaning the carpet in a standard-size room should take about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the square footage. If your bedroom carpet has serious stains or wear patterns, it may take longer to treat it. An experienced carpet cleaner will likely move faster through this task than if you DIY it with a rented carpet cleaner.

Vinegar and baking soda can effectively remove old carpet stains, and there are a few common methods for application. One method involves applying them separately: sprinkle baking soda over the stain, let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes, then vacuum it up. Afterward, blot the area with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Another method combines the ingredients on the stain to create a foaming reaction that helps lift it. To do this, pour a generous layer of dry baking soda over the stain. Then, in a spray bottle, mix distilled white vinegar with warm water and a few drops of dish soap, and spray this solution over the baking soda. Let the mixture sit for several hours until dry, then wipe or vacuum up the residue and blot the area with a clean towel. You can repeat the process if the stain persists.
