If you have carpeting, especially at entrances to your home, you know how dirt attracts more dirt and grime leaving it look terrible. According to home cleaning pro, Terri McGraw, lightly rake the area with a squeegee (to loosen embedded dirt) and then sprinkle a mixture of 4 parts cornmeal and 1 part cornstarch. Gently work into the area. Let sit for about a half hour, then vacuum. This mix will attract oils and debris so it won’t only look cleaner but will stay cleaner! Always test in an inconspicuous spot first.
