I use the same recipe to clean my car seats, minus the vinegar. My steam cleaner has a hose attachment specifically for upholstery cleaning and with this DIY cleaning solution it does a great job! As an extra step after I run the steam cleaner with the solution I follow it up with clean water to remove soap residue. Just like washing your laundry, ya gotta give it a good rinse after washing! Otherwise the residual cleaner in the carpet or upholstery gets sticky and collects dirt again very quickly!

Yes girl! The solution is SO darn expensive...and if you have a big house you need quite a bit of it. I usually have to fill up my shampooer 2 or 3 times just to clean the living room.

Thanks for the video I'm about to use this recipe for spot cleaning. And just an fyi for you, please be careful doing your own carpet cleaning, non commercial carpet cleaning vacuums are notorious for not sucking up enough water. I once had a mold problem under my carpet due to this lol. My advice is to run the vacuum over it a second time without the water.

Hello, I watched and got very excited to try this.. this evening as I already started the shampooing and don't like the chemical smell. My lungs can't hang. I always read the comments to get an idea of the product. I did read a few diff warnings on mixing hydrogen peroxide & vinegar. I'm only popping in to kindly share..I did a lil research and ya is very dangerous for lungs. I'll try with one or the other but both. On that note may I suggest a friendly thought? Maybe you would consider removing just this post simply To protect yourself and others. I saw you mentioned you don't exec have carpet these days and if it's dangerous you would never want blow back. Lord knows folks be reaching these days. Heck maybe just change to one or the other🤷‍♀️☺ just a friendly suggestion . Have a blessed day~

@ledzoltan 11 ай бұрын

In all the written forums what I could find is that it is not recommended to add fabric softener to a wet carpet cleaner solution since it can demage the mechanism of the machine. It is cheaper but on the long run, if you have to replace a gasket or a seal or the pump itself, it can be a risky saving advice for others.

Hey heads up guys if you can get your hands on some citric acid..[its like 5 bucks w/ prime shipping for a few pounds of it on Amazon] it would help with adding to her already perfect solution.... 1, it has strong antibacterial properties. You know not all that smell is coming just from the mess you made or your animals made. Bacteria have joined the party also. And 2. Citric acid is used in many high dollar cleaners as a preservative. So if you plan on makeing a whole gallon of this stuff so you always have it ready and on hand like i plan on...some preservative might go along way. If your not sold yet... Umm its organic.

Just one question - is the 1/2 cap of fabric softener used neat like from a sachet or as it would normally be diluted please? Here in Australia Cuddly comes in a 300ml sachet which dilutes to make 2 litres in a bottle. I would assume I would use 1/2 a cap from the 2 litre bottle of diluted Cuddly.

@donnah.7346 2 ай бұрын

Use the diluted solution you make from the sachet. The fabric softener is what is referred to as a defoamer in the carpet cleaning solution. If you don't use a solution with a defoamer you will fill your machine with foam and break your carpet cleaner. I use a pine cleaner solution as a defoamer I have been making for over 20 years with my carpet cleaner. I use 1 or 2 capfuls per 2 gallons of water with maybe 1/4 tsp dish detergent. I love the smell of pine cleaner. I also blow box fans at the rugs after I'm done to dry them. Keep moving the fans around to make it dry faster.

My livingroom carpet had not been done for 10 years, due to the weight of the furniture. It's hard on the body moving it alone. I saw this and decided to move stuff around and get it done. While the carpet under the furniture was a lot cleaner, the whole room is now done. Looks great, and I love the fresh clean smell. Refreshing.

I'm not a chemist, did took a few classes in college, correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't mixing hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid would result in a neutral solution? you know like water is neutral? Many cleaning videos show that ammonia, boron, peroxide, they all do a great job at cleaning, I believe the finish is what is neutral or slightly acid.
