Homemade Carpet Shampoo
Carpet shampoo is outrageously expensive. Why not save some money by making your own at home using common household ingredients?
The good news is that there are numerous recipes for homemade carpet shampoo that can save you a bundle, don't have harsh chemicals and can even do a better job of cleaning your carpet than commercial cleaners. Always remember to test for color fastness before cleaning and make sure you have adequate ventilation. Here is one of the best options you can try:
Vinegar and water as a carpet cleaner has been used by many people for years and works exceptionally well. The acid from the vinegar dissolves most stains and at the same time removes odors so you get a clean, odor free carpet.
To use, just mix equal parts of vinegar and HOT water then use in the machine just as you would any normal carpet cleaning solution. If you have greasy stains on the carpet you may want to add a little bit of dish detergent to the mix as well to help cut the grease.
When it comes to soap, less is more since most types of soap will leave behind residue. The leftover soap residue then acts like a magnet and attracts more dirt. If you've ever made the mistake of blotting up a spill with soap and water you know what I am talking about. Within a few weeks the area that you blotted has attracted all kinds of dirt and looks worse than the original stain. With that in mind, just a tiny bit of dish washing detergent mixed in with the vinegar and water will be plenty.
Some people recommend using ammonia in your carpet cleaner, however, I would advise against this...especially if you have pets. Ammonia can confuse animals and cause them to start urinating on the carpet. Not only that, but the fumes from ammonia are very harsh and can cause fainting along with other health problems. Also, don't mix ammonia and vinegar since they will just cancel each other out, making them both ineffective as cleaners.
Your best bet is to stick with the simple vinegar and water solution above which cleans just as well but doesn't have the bad side effects. The vinegar does have a distinctive aroma, however any vinegar smell will disappear as soon as your carpet dries.
