 Is Baking Soda the Best Product to Clean Carpets With?

Hypothesis:

It is predicted that the use of baking soda will remove a stain on a carpet, the baking soda

will draw out more of the stain than any other products used.

Materials:

 12 pieces of sample Carpet

 1 bottle of Shout Carpet Oxy Cleaner

 1 bottle of Great Value Pro-Strength Carpet Cleaner

 1 box of baking soda

 1 bottle of 409 Formula Carpet Spot and Stain Remover

 1 bottle of ketchup

 Vacuum

 ¼ cup measuring cup

Procedure:
  Take twelve samples of carpet and put the 1 tablespoon ketchup stain on them. Leave

out the stain on one piece of carpet for the control. Let the stain rest for 48 hours. Now

put 7-8 sprays of Shout Carpet Oxy Cleaner onto 1 of the sample carpets. Spray 409

Formula Carpet and Spot Remover onto the whole stain on the second sample pice of

carpet. Now spray Great Value Pro-Strength Carpet Cleaner onto the 3rd stained carpet

sample. Lastly, pour ¼ cup of Great Value Baking Soda onto the 4th piece of carpet. Now

scrub the remaining amount of the cleaners off the carpet and vacuum . Now see which

carpet cleaner has the least noticeable stain.

Abstract:

Baking Soda has many benefits. Baking soda is known as “sodium bicarbonate”. Baking

soda had been a profitable product for 150 years, and its popularity has done nothing but increase

in the past years. Baking soda is health friendly and does not contain any hazardous ingredients

that will hurt your body, in fact, baking soda helps with body functions such as balancing your

pH level and neutralizing stomach acids. Baking soda is also super absorbent, which builds its

stain-fighting ability, but more impressively gives baking soda the capacity to absorb

nasty odors. The baking soda is used to take away and eliminate any odors in your refrigerator.

Baking Soda has been used since ancient Egyptian times, it was not until 1791 that

baking soda was produced from soda ash by a French Chemist Nicolas Leblanc. The ingredients

of sodium bicarbonate include four natural elements combined together to form a white solid
crystalline structure that makes a fine white powder. Baking soda is an alkaline compound that,

when combined with an acid, will produce carbon dioxide gas (care2.com).
