How do I get unpleasant smells out of my carpet?
Stan said: "Spilling your drink during festive celebrations can lead to visible stains on your carpet and a lingering smell of alcohol in the carpet fibres. However, there is one simple product that only costs £1.50 and is a food cupboard staple, that can eradicate all unpleasant odours from stains – white vinegar.
"Simply pour white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it onto your carpet. Even though the vinegar smell may be strong, it will disappear and absorb the smell of any spilled alcohol.
"Allow time for the vinegar to dry and then repeat the process if the smell hasn’t quite cleared up until it’s completely gone!"
What's the best way to get food out of a carpet?
The expert explained that picking up excess food is the first step. Then, all you need to do is create a simple solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda and pour it directly onto the food stain.
Leave it for about twenty minutes and rinse the area with a damp cloth. Use a vacuum cleaner to hoover up any smaller bits of food as a final step to make sure the patch is completely clear.
