In a short Instagram video, Australian interior stylist Liz Amaya revealed her top floor cleaning hacksTo absorb odours and stains in carpets, Liz sprinkled a small amount of bi-carb soda onto the surface of the carpet using a handheld kitchen sieve.
She left the powder on the carpet for 20 minutes then vacuumed the carpet as usual.

Next, she recommended using whitening toothpaste and a microfibre cloth to remove marks on tiled floors.
In the video she easily removed a visible mark on her pristine white tiles using the two common products.
The gentle but abrasiveness of the toothpaste and cloth work perfectly together to remove stains without scratching the tiles.
