How to Make Homemade Carpet Cleaner
Carpets are great home furnishings but they are also a pain in the neck because of the amount of dirt, scum, and hair that get trapped in the fibres that are very hard to remove. While it looks easier to just buy cleaners from the grocery store, you might actually save a lot of money if you try having your very own homemade carpet cleaner which is a lot safer too.
Simple Carpet Recipes
For a very simple homemade carpet cleaner recipe, you only need three basic ingredients namely white or cane vinegar, baking soda, and distilled or purified water. Mix all the ingredients until it turns pasty. You have to remember to add more baking soda if the solution turns out to be too runny. Have a toothbrush ready (preferably soft to medium bristled) to dip into the paste and proceed to brush the carpet vigorously enough to remove all the dirt but not too much that you ruin the fibres.
Storage Tips
You can also make more of the homemade carpet cleaner and save it for future use but do not leave it too long because the efficacy might be affected. The best thing to do is still to make the paste every time you need to clean the carpet after all you will not have to clean it that often. You will be pleased at how much money you will save with your very own recipe and how well you will be able to help the environment by using friendly cleaning ingredients that will not harm the ozone layer.
