Baking soda is an easy and effective way to deodorize an area rug. For minor odors, sprinkle some baking soda over the rug, brush it in gently with your hand or a microfiber cloth, and let it sit for an hour before vacuuming it out. For persistent odors, mix 1 cup of baking soda with 4 cups of water and spray it evenly over your rug. Let the mixture dry, and then vacuum the rug thoroughly. You can also use a commercial rug deodorizer, but make sure you match the product to your rug material to avoid damage.

In many cases, upholstery cleaning is a worthwhile service. Couches, arm chairs, and other upholstered furniture are typically used daily, so they quickly get dirty and can harbor germs and bacteria. Cleaning services can not only make your fabric look new again, but they can also remove odors and disinfect the surfaces. Upholstery cleaning is also far more affordable than replacing a soiled piece of furniture, in most cases, so it’s the most cost-effective solution for dirty couches, chairs, ottomans, and more.

Wool rugs respond well to light steam cleaning. Steam cleaning can help lift the dirt out of a wool rug and eliminate odors. However, because wool rugs are so absorbent, excessive moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth, so you’ll need to be cautious with the amount of steam being used, and avoid steam cleaning more than once a year to protect the rug’s fibers.
