Homemade Natural Carpet Shampoo/Cleaner For Carpet Cleaning Machines!

HOMEMADE CARPET CLEANER

Ingredients

• 1½ quarts of hot (NOT boiling) water
• ¼ cup of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (it’s the regular hydrogen peroxide that you can get at any store)
• 1½ Tablespoons of White Vinegar
• 1½ Tablespoons of Dish Soap (we use Seventh Generation and it works great)
• About 5 drops of your favorite essential oil – either just one or a combination. Lemon and lavender are great!
• (Optional) If you’re having problems with the solution making too many suds, then you can add a very small amount (1 Tbsp or so) of fabric softener

Directions

• Mix all of the ingredients together (be sure to add the dish soap to the water and not the water to the dish soap – you’ll see why if you do it the wrong way just once)
• Pour into your carpet cleaning machine.
• Clean like the directions tell you to.
