I'm back with another easy chemist solution!
Let me start off by saying I have personally used this easy homemade carpet cleaner for years and more times than I care to admit. My husband has a tendency to spill anything that’s red (spaghetti, pizza). We have very light carpet, so you can imagine how that turns out!
Now that we have a dog, I use this easy homemade carpet cleaner probably every few weeks.
The best part about this cleaner is it’s cheap and effective. It also is safe for kids and pets!
First, I will share with you the recipe. Then, I will explain to you a little bit about why it works so well!

Ingredients:
Step One: Clean up any debris first. Pieces of food, excess liquid, or dog bones (lol). Just pick up the area a little bit so all you have is the carpet and the stain or just carpet that needs to be cleaned. You can see in the picture above that Ruger made quit the mess with his bone. He also rain outside in the dirt and came in. The carpet is just dingy looking with some dirt stains.
Step Three: Make sure your vinegar is in a spray bottle, and spray the entire area that has baking soda on it.
So, why does this particular method work so well?
Enjoyed the project?
