<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a parent, or just a clumsy person, then you\u2019ll know the pain of spilling something on your carpets.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t throw them in the wash and you can\u2019t mop them so getting stains out of the fabric is a tricky job.<\/p>\n

And, many spills once dried can leave disgusting smells embedded in the carpet.<\/p>\n

Luckily, there are things you can do to get stains or unpleasant odours out of your carpeting \u2013 and some Mrs Hinch fans have shared their top methods.<\/p>\n

Mrs Hinch, AKA Sophie Hinchliffe, is an influencer who has over 4million Instagram followers thanks to her cleaning hacks and routines.<\/p>\n

Since making it big in the last few years, Sophie\u2019s fans have created a number of Facebook pages to share their own tricks.<\/p>\n

On one such page which has over 100,000 members a woman asked for help removing stains from her carpets.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cMy carpets have had a lot of wee wee accidents on them recently from potty training my daughter and having a new kitten. My house stinks and it\u2019s getting me down a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do I get rid of the smell?\u201d<\/p>\n

Hundreds of helpful cleaning fans spoke up to help the woman out, but one cleaning tool stood out amongst the rest as scores recommended it, reports the Express.<\/p>\n

Baking soda.<\/p>\n

You can pick up a tub for \u00a31.40 from Sainsbury\u2019s or \u00a31 at the Poundshop.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re on a budget this trick won\u2019t break the bank.<\/p>\n

One person said: \u201cBaking soda naturally neutralises odours.<\/p>\n

\u201cSprinkle it liberally on the damp area or even an old urine stain, and work the powder gently into the fibers of any fabric, rug or carpet. Let the baking soda sit overnight for maximum odour absorption, then vacuum it up to remove the smell completely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another cleaning obsessive added: \u201cAnd it works, I can vouch for that!\u201d<\/p>\n

While a third noted: \u201cSprinkle bicarb over every area leave as long as possible, overnight is best, then hoover up, it absorbs any wetness that’s underneath and gets rid of the smell too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alternatively, one woman recommended using dish soap, and wrote: \u201cWash with Biological washing liquid<\/a> in warm water thoroughly, rinse thoroughly then when dry spritz with surgical spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

While another had an old-fashioned but effective solution to bad smells in the carpets.<\/p>\n

They said: \u201cMy daughter had an accident on our stair carpet a while back. I tried everything but the smell was awful, I think she must have done it a few times without us noticing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyway, my nana swore by orange peel to get rid of the bad smell. Every time I peeled an orange I would just put the skin on the stairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin two weeks, maybe slightly less, the smell was completely gone! I know having orange peels around the carpets isn\u2019t ideal, but it works!\u201d<\/p>\n
