Magic Carpet Cleaner 😉 Baking soda, vinegar, dishwashing liquid & warm water!
No matter what color scheme you go with, carpet gets dirty and will need cleaned at some point. This is especially true in high traffic areas. Store-bought cleaners can be expensive and not always work the best. Here are a few non-toxic ingredients that you can use to make a great cleaner that works every time.
What You Need:
1 Gallon of warm water
2 tbsp. dish washing liquid
½-cup baking soda
1/2-cup white vinegar
What You Do:
1)Â Â Â Â Â Mix all ingredients into a 2-gallon bucket.
2)Â Â Â Â Â Use a sponge to dab the mixture onto areas that are stained and allow it sit a few minutes.
3)     Place some of the mixture into a carpet cleaner and go over areas of about 5’ X 5’.
4)Â Â Â Â Â Once you have removed all signs of dirt, refill the carpet cleaner with clear warm water and go over the carpeting.
5)Â Â Â Â Â Open windows and place box fans in areas to create airflow to dry the carpet.
Any remaining stains can be removed by using a cloth and the cleaning mixture. Some spots might take a bit of elbow grease, but the cleaner won’t hurt the carpet and it will leave it smelling fresh and looking clean.
