Rugs can elevate the style of any room, but over time, they may develop unpleasant odors. The good news? Keeping your rugs smelling fresh and looking great doesn’t have to be a challenge. Experts like Jarred Fajerski of Stratus Building Solutions share practical, easy-to-follow tips to maintain your rugs and banish bad smells for good.
One of the simplest methods is sprinkling baking soda over the rug, letting it sit for 15 minutes (or overnight for tougher odors), and vacuuming it up. Adding a drop of essential oil to the baking soda can introduce a fresh, lasting fragrance. For stubborn odors, try spraying diluted vinegar—an effective DIY solution to neutralize smells without lingering harshness.
For a deeper clean, steam cleaning can revive your rug while removing dirt and odors embedded in the fibers. Don’t forget to air out your rugs regularly, as proper ventilation prevents smells from festering and reduces the risk of mold.
“Air circulation is vital to freeing your rugs from bad smells,” Jarred explains, highlighting the importance of allowing your rugs to breathe. With these expert-approved tricks, you can easily incorporate rug care into your routine, ensuring your home remains inviting and odor-free.
