1. Ice Cubes to Remove Carpet Dents
Have furniture left ugly dents in your carpet? Ice cubes are the answer!
- Place ice cubes directly onto the carpet dents.
- Let them melt slowly (about 4–6 hours).
- Once melted, fluff the fibers with a fork or your fingers.
The moisture helps the carpet fibers spring back to life, leaving it as good as new.
2. Shaving Cream for Spot-Cleaning Upholstery
Spilled coffee, soda, or makeup on your couch? A simple can of unscented shaving cream can work wonders:
- Apply a small amount of shaving cream to the stain.
- Let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Blot gently with a damp cloth, then allow it to air dry.
Shaving cream’s foamy texture lifts stains without soaking the fabric—just like a pro-grade cleaner.
3. Steam Your Mattress with Your Iron
Steam cleaning a mattress can sound like a chore, but your household iron is a handy alternative:
- Set your iron to the steam setting.
- Hover it slightly above the mattress surface—don’t press it down!
- Move it in small sections, allowing the steam to penetrate and refresh.
This helps kill bacteria and eliminate odors naturally.
