bicarbonate of soda on carpets

You shampoo your carpets every week?!? Yikes!

I shampoo(ish) ok mop up to the best of my ability only if there are coffee spils, tipped ashtrays (only the bits don't hoover off, it seems like all the dark ash likes to get ingrained) or an occasional doggy accident, although in honesty I could do with hiring the carpet cleaner from Safeway and doing the sitting room at the moment, but that can wait till December when I have to spruce up the house for all the visitors that will be in and out!xxx

Tried it this afternoon ,I am going to leave it overnight and hoover in morning it smells nice from the oil I used .I dont like the smell from the shop powders either and I find it irritates the dogs paws also OH has asthma so its not good for his chest .Hopefully this is going to be a good thing now the weather is getting colder its not so easy to shampo the carpet every week it takes to long to dry

Could bicarb irritate a dogs paws.This rings a bell because I have just used it and my dog has an irritated paw.Was going to take him to the vets.

There has'nt been any problems with dogs paws and it smells really nice I think this is going to work really well
