I’m a home whizz – the best way to clean stinky rugs in one day with minimal effort and a bargain Wilkos product

A MUM has shown how she fully cleaned the family’s “smelly rug” with minimal effort.

Remi shared how you don’t need to get items professionally cleaned and can use a bargain Wilkos product instead.

In a clip, she said: “Today we are going to clean our stinky living room rug.

“Whenever it is absolutely boiling outside I always try and take advantage of it and do this.

“It’s a once a year thing and I know the weather outside is going to dry because it is really thick.”

Remi showed how she hoovers the rug and then puts it in a full bath of water and leaves it to soak.

In the video on her @remiclog account, which has racked up over 17,000 likes, she showed how the water was left filthy after a few minutes.

Remi made a gagging noise and she looked in the bath at the gross colour.

After an hour, she then drains the water and uses the shower hose to give it a rinse.

Then it is time to repeat the process but with some cleaning products.

Remi showed herself adding some Comfort fabric softener and a detergent tablet to the full tub.

Remi explained: “I do it three times, an hour for each to just make sure that all of the dirt is gotten rid of.

“Third time round I like to put some extra stuff in, like some anti bac and Zoflora and some scent pearls.”

After this soak, the rug came up clean.

She added: “As you can see the rug isn’t dirty anymore and it smells amazing.”

Remi revealed why she does a DIY clean on the rug instead of taking it to a professional.

She said: “You are probably thinking ‘why don’t you get it cleaned professionally?’, simple answer is I can’t afford it.”

People were amazed at the finished result, with one saying: “You are amazing Remi!!!!!!”

Others asked how she lifted it when it was so heavy and wet.

Remi replied: “My partner helped me but it was still ridiculously heavy for both of us.”

Meanwhile, one person offered their own advice, saying: “I use a paddling pool in the garden instead of the bath to soak my rugs.”
