What is the best homemade recipe for shampooing carpets in the home?
Need to shampoo carpet but do not have a shampooer at the current time. Was wondering how to make a homemade easy recipe to clean several spots that are very dirty...
Hot water with a little bit of white vinegar works beautifully! I use around a 1 to 10 ratio, pour a little onto the spot, and soak up the water and the stain with a white towel. Good luck!
I have two dogs also. I have tried many products over the years but have found the 409 carpet cleaner does the best job of removing the potty and vomit stains.
1 cup white vinegar
2 cups water
2 tsp salt
15 drops lavender essential oil, or another clear essential oil of choice (find 100% pure essential oils here)
Directions
Combine vinegar and water in a large spray bottle.
Add in salt and lavender essential oil.
Cap and shake.
Spray on carpets liberally, shaking bottle frequently between sprays.
Allow carpets to dry.
Vacuum treated areas.
Note: For tougher stains, spray mixture directly on stain. Let dry and vacuum. Repeat if necessary
Thanks, I will try that as I like to use white vinegar in other cleaning jobs.
