A cleaning expert has revealed how you can remove stains and smells from your carpet using products you might already have in your cupboard.
Stan Tomov, from Fantastic Cleaners, says white vinegar, that can cost just £1.50, can eradicate all unpleasant odours from carpet stains. You can clear the marks on your carpet by pouring white vinegar into a spray bottle and spritzing it on.
Even though the vinegar smell may be strong, it will disappear and absorb the smell of any drink. Allow time for the vinegar to dry and then repeat the process if the smell hasn’t quite cleared up until it’s completely gone.

If it's a food stain you want to remove, then create a solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda and pour it directly onto the mark. Leave it for about 20 minutes and rinse the area with a damp cloth, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Use a vacuum cleaner to hoover up any smaller bits of food as a final step to make sure the patch is completely clear. Stan also revealed an unusual but efficient way of collecting smaller shards of glass using bread or a potato. Pressing a piece of bread or potato into the carpet will collect stray shards without risking damage to your vacuum.
