Prepare Your Carpet: Start by giving your carpet a good vacuuming. This removes any surface dirt and debris, ensuring that the baking soda and vinegar can work directly on the deeper-set stains and odors.
Sprinkle Baking Soda: Generously sprinkle baking soda all over the carpet. Baking soda is a natural deodorizer and will help to lift any lingering smells out of your carpet fibers.
