I bought into the meme that baking soda on my carpet can get the smell from my room away.
Now I discovered the Youtube video saying that this is absolute shit advice since it destroys the vacuum cleaner. How do I get the baking soda from my carpet away?

Rent a Rug Doctor or carpet shampooing vac. Get the carpet damp with the cleaning solution then suck it all up.

Get a better vacuum. Baking soda only destroys bagless memes like dyson

To repeat a /diy/ meme, get a Miele

Did this recently. Did >>1881263 then shop vac after. If you get a rug doctor get the hose attachment and well and do your furniture and car interior. You will be amazed on how dirty your car seats are. Or you can buy a carpet shampooer. They are not that much anymore and will be your best friend ever soon after your first room.

It doesn't even destroy it, just clogs the filter, which you can take and wash it.

Else just spray it all down with vinegar (I don't know of a less pungent smelling acid) then vacuum it up.
