1. Deep clean the carpet 

The key to keeping your carpet smooth, fresh, tidy, and good smelling is cleaning it regularly. However, if that ship has already sailed, do not worry. You can rejuvenate your carpet once again and make it look new with the help of a professional carpet cleaning service. 

A professional carpet cleaning service comes to your home equipped with a robust commercial carpet cleaner and a trained workforce. It waves its magic wand, and voila! You get a new carpet. 

The carpet cleaners use a high-quality cleaning solution to remove dirt, grime, and stains lodged into the deep fibers of your carpet and make it look new. They also use deodorizers on your carpet to make your entire home feel fresh.  

2. Spot-clean the stains 

Unsightly stains ruin the appearance of the carpet, making it look dull, old, and dirty. Ideally, you should get rid of the stains immediately. If you could not, use a spot-cleaning treatment to get rid of them. 

The markets are full of good-quality carpet cleaning products that help you make a difference. All you need to do is generously use the carpet cleaning product on the stain, let it stay for five to ten minutes or as instructed by the manufacturer, vacuum the area, and let it dry. 

A home remedy that works like a carpet cleaning product is a vinegar and baking soda solution. Use it the way you use any carpet cleaning product. This remedy works wonders to remove the stains and smell from your carpet. 

3. Deal with the odor naturally 

If you are a pet parent, keeping pet dander and dirt from seeping into the fiber of your carpet becomes a big task. Moreover, pet accidents further exacerbate the situation. Moisture and dampness due to water damage, food and drink spills, cigarette or fire smoke, etc., are some other reasons for bad-smelling carpets. 

Fortunately, you can deal with the smell and breathe a fresh gush of air into your carpet, making them smell heavenly. 

A thorough deep cleaning will help remove every trace of odor from your carpet. Furthermore, carpet deodorizers also work wonders in this respect. Baking soda also does the trick if you are looking for an inexpensive hack to get rid of bad odor. 

Sprinkle baking soda on your carpet and work it into the fibers using a hard brush. Let it stay overnight to absorb bad smells and bacteria. Next day, vacuum your carpet and spritz vinegar and water solution. Brush your carpet to make it feel new and fresh. 

4. Remove carpet indentations 

The smooth appearance of carpets is taken away by indentations caused by heavy furniture. The fibers under the furniture get condensed, making the carpet look years old. 

Vacuum your carpet to remove indentations. Use a steam cleaner if vacuuming does not make any difference. If you don’t have a steam cleaner, use a steam iron instead. Take a damp cloth, place it over indentations, and use a steam iron on it. Let it sit for 15 minutes.

Another way to deal with carpet indentations is by using ice cubes. Keep ice cubes over the indentations. Let them melt away the indentations. Soak the excess water and lift the rejuvenated fibers.
