what can i use to freshen up my bathroom carpet?

[lucysmam]

apart from shake n vac or something like that as i can't afford it this week because of paying insurance excess!

is there anything basic and cheap that will freshen it up a bit until i get my hands on a carpet cleaner?

I'm thinking.

you mean something you have in your house already?

Rip it up. Carpet in bathroom is minigng.

carpets in bathrooms are just gross. I'd probably remove it, however I don't think that would be an option for you.

Do you have any bi-carb of soda? Sprinkle that on, leave for a while then hoover up. It's goos at absorbing odours.

no choice moondog, there's no tiles or anything under there, just cracked concrete & i cant afford to put tiles down in rented house. not really good i know but atm no choice unless i can get landlord to sort out what needs doing to the house & i dont think thats likely in a hurry since he tried taking me to court for money when he 'forgot' to cash 3 cheques for £1600 between them!

thanks goingslowlymad, will try that. and get my hands on proper cleaner asap
