Make Your Own Carpet Cleaning Solution
Published on Wednesday, 07 November 2012

First of all, this is a cheap option. Most of us clean our carpets about once or twice a year. During spring cleaning is the most popular time for carpet cleaning, but that's when we spend money on many other things: paint, new furniture, other cleaning detergents or professional cleaning services. Adding to this the carpet cleaning products can really make the total amount go up. If you can save up from that and still clean your carpets like the professionals, why not? Vinegar and ammonia are cheap products, so you can buy more of them, mix them with water in a bucket and get down to business.
Another reason for preparing your own cleaning product is because it is easy. Instead of going to the department store to buy a carpet cleaning solution, you can spend a couple of minutes making yours at home, with products you already have in your kitchen. After you prepare the product apply some of it on the stains on the carpet. Wait a few minutes for the product to penetrate the fibers and then scrub the area.
The third reason for making such a product, instead of buying one is because it is effective. The ingredients in some of the commercial cleaners can damage certain items, so it's best to be tried on a hidden spot first. The mixture of water and ammonia or vinegar is tried and tested and cannot ruin a carpet or a rug. This homemade solution will give you the same results as the professional one. The mix will remove dirt, dust and stains from your carpet within a few minutes.
This is not the only natural cleaning solution you can prepare at home; there are many other products from your kitchen that successfully clean various surfaces and textures. One of them is baking soda, which can be sprinkled on a carpet the night before and then vacuumed. It will remove any bad odor and give out a fresh smell. Be innovative and save money with this easy cleaning solution and you won't regret it.
