How to Make Your Own Carpet Cleaner

Commercial carpet cleaning products can be expensive, and still can not meet your expectations. Many carpet powders just remove odours, making the carpet to smell fresh without necessarily cleaning it. You can make your own dry cleaning solution to deodorize and clean your carpet.
