Put it under the rug and you will forget about a common problem. This trick deserves a gold medal

First, it’s worth asking yourself: why does the carpet absorb odors so easily? It’s all because of the dense structure of its fibers, which accumulates dirt from shoes, crumbs and air deposits. The unpleasant odor persists longer in rooms that are rarely ventilated and on rugs lying next to walls. This is why the bottom-up refresh method makes sense. You literally need one product from your kitchen. Check which one it is.

We will get rid of the bad smell from the carpet thanks to the home-made method with… bay leaves. This spice contains essential oils that are released gradually, especially after crushing.

Thanks to it, the carpet and its surroundings will gain a pleasant, herbal scent. Moreover, it will not dominate the entire apartment, unlike aerosols.

This trick is perfect for carpets that are adjacent to the wall or those placed in small rooms where it is difficult to ensure efficient air circulation. We also recommend using this method if you have animals at home.

After just a few hours, you will notice a real effect by using the spot method to refresh the carpet. Please remember, however, that this trick will not replace vacuuming or washing the sidewalks. The idea here is to ensure a neutral scent in the room.

Precision is key in this home method of refreshing a carpet. So we place a bay leaf in the place where we experience the most unpleasant odor, e.g. at the edges of sidewalks. We do it in spots, i.e. in 2-3 places.

How exactly to do this? First, take out a few dry bay leaves and we crush them to release their aroma. Finally, we place the spice under the carpet in selected places.

If the carpet is placed against the wall, it is worth placing bay leaves in the corners of the room. It is in these places that we most often encounter unpleasant odors.
