The carpet cleaning solution can be very expensive and sometimes leaves an unpleasant odor. It’s easy to create your own solution in minutes. This homemade recipe will keep your carpets clean, and your house smelling like fresh laundry.

 

Tip

  • If you don’t own a carpet cleaner, you can rent one. It is fairly inexpensive to rent an industrial carpet cleaner at most grocery and home improvement stores.

What you need

  • 1 gallon plastic or glass container with lid
  • 1 cup hydrogen peroxide
  • 1/8 cup saucer liquid
  • 1 eetlepel Oxiclean
  • 1/2 cup fabric softener
  • Funnel

 

Warning

  • Dab a small amount of hydrogen peroxide on the carpet in a small, relatively hidden area — under a couch or behind curtains. Wait 30 minutes. If the carpet changes color, do not use this cleaning formula.

Step 1

Using a funnel, add all ingredients except the water to your container.

 

Step 2

Fill the rest of your container with warm water.

 

Step 3

Fill the reservoir of your carpet cleaner with warm water and add 2 ounces of the homemade solution.

 

Step 4

Clean your carpet according to the carpet cleaner’s instructions.

Save the rest of your solution for the next time your pet stomps through your house with muddy paws, your kids forget to take off their shoes, or for cleaning up after your next party.
