Making Eco-Friendly Carpet Cleaners

Keeping your carpets and other types of floor covering clean can be a never-ending task. This is because the constant activity of the household can track in dirt and odours. What is more, the cleaning agents available in the market may contain harmful products for your family and pets, as well as the environment. Written below is a guide for making your own eco-friendly carpet cleaners.

For the basic cleaner, start by mixing together half a cup of white vinegar and a gallon of water. You can then add this to the cleaning solution on your carpet’s steam cleaner. Proceed to cleaning your floor covering as directed by the cleaning equipment’s manufacturer.

To make a spot remover, combine baking soda and vinegar to form a paste. You can apply this on the stained area using an old toothbrush or a scrub brush if needed. Allow it to dry before vacuuming it up.

In order to make a carpet foam cleaner, mix 1/4 cup vegetable oil-based liquid soap and three tablespoons of water. Combine and stir all the ingredients together until the mixture foams up.
