Dirty fabrics
Baking soda is one of the best natural deodorisers thanks to its neutral chemical formulation, and is loved for its impressive results on odorous fabrics, such as carpets and mattresses.
Cornflour is not dissimilar, with its soft yet absorbent texture making it perfect for eliminating unpleasant smells.
This simple ingredient can be sprinkled into the soles of shoes, over carpets, or even over your upholstered furniture.
Just dust the cornflour over the fabric and leave to sit overnight.
Keep pets and young children away from the substance while it settles, and vacuum the following morning.
Take care to empty your vacuum filter after use to prevent blockages.
