How to Clean Carpets with Home-made Solutions

Do not waste valuable time and money looking for the perfect and expensive chemical-based carpet cleaning solution. Now you can make effective all-purpose toxic-free carpet cleaner with ingredients that you have in your home. Just follow the step bellow and you will see how easy and cheap you can clean your carpet.

  1. The first step is to make a mixture of a quarter cup of mild liquid dish washing detergent, pay attention to the label, the solution must not contain bleach or alkaline and add one litre warm water.

  1. You should mix thoroughly the detergent.


  2. Before applying the mixture to the spot you need to test it, to make sure that it will not damage or discolour the carpet. Spray a little amount of the solution to a hidden area and wait several minutes. 
     
  3. Spray the solution directly to carpet, on a small area, and use a sponge or a medium-bristle brush to scrub the cleaning detergent into the fabric.

  4. Soak a sponge with a clean warm water and work over the wet spot to remove excess solution. Repeat this step until no soap comes off onto sponge. 
     
  5. Now you can move to the next area and repeat the previous steps to clean it.

  6. In the end blot all areas dry with a white, clean, damp cloth or paper towel.

  7. For all stubborn stains you can use toothbrush. 
     
  8. Once it has dried, use a brush to fluff the carpet.

You can hire a carpet cleaning company to do the job for you, in case you have problems with the home made solutions. But do not forget that toxic-free solutions are much more healthier than the one bought from the store.
