👏👏👏👏👏. On point !! With children it’s easy to get like this especially if you haven’t had a carpet cleaner before now. I’m just cleaning a dark grey carpet 10x8. But it’s good to see great results

Judgement? Or shock. She used fabric softener on the carpet. That’s a huge no.

@@NatalieWarren13 I was talking specifically of the judgment about the dirty carpet.

Should the mix be 50/50 or follow the "formula" guide but using vinegar? Or a different amount? 😁

@@fatbarbiee okay I wish I had a better answer to this but the answer is kind of just “it depends” so I’ll try to explain. The easiest answer is *if* I’m using vinegar in my machine I dilute it to the formula line or less, just because my cleaners that I’m trying to balance are never usually that strong. First, if you use a neutral pH carpet cleaner you don’t need to rinse with vinegar at all (because if it’s neutral and you do that you’ll be leaving your carpet acidic). Most carpet/fabric cleaners are kind of basic/alkaline. For the overly technical answer: I’m sure there is an exact science got this, but I don’t have it. We are talking about balancing out the ph, to balance/neutralize you want to bring it back to ph7 (the same as water). If you used a very basic/alkaline let’s say ph12 cleaner then I would probably add more vinegar than if I was using something closer to 7, like a ph9. You could definitely get test strips and figure out how aggressive your cleaner is, but mostly it’s just trial and error. You know how if you get bleach on your hands it feels very slippery? That’s a characteristic of alkaline and bleach is very alkaline. For the simpler answer, Because vinegar is so strong of an acid I wouldn’t say you need 50/50. To keep it simple I would probably use from the water line to the formula line, or even less. Just remember that it’s about balancing out. Tbh, you’d be surprised how much a difference a plain rinse (with just water and no) vinegar makes to the final result. For me vinegar is the extra mile. You can probably google the ph of most cleaners. Just for example, I recently learned pinesol is very acidic, and if you use it on grout it actually makes your grout dirtier over time because concrete/grout is naturally alkaline and the the acid begins to break it down. So I only use basic cleaners like Lysol on the floors for that reason. Sorry this is long, I know there are tons of “cleaning hacks/life hacks” out there and really you just want to make sure that you’re doing what fits your situation best. Not all of them are good advice for everyone. Hopefully this helps, but if you want a better answer feel free to leave details. What kind of carpet is it? Have you cleaned it before (with/without rinsing)? Do you have any “natural body/pet stains/enzyme” stains? What cleaner do you use in your machine? Just add anything you think is helpful and I’ll do my best. I’ve done so much research at this point that I should start a cleaning channel lol.

@@aval5098 Wow thank you so much for your response! That is a lot of great information! I actually just purchased a used couch from a thrift store and am trying to find the best way to clean it 😁 I got the bissell pro max 4x cleaner solution, but my machine began to leak so i was going to test other 'diy' mixes in this machine while waiting for bissell to send the replacement. So i dont leak the expensive cleaner all over the floor lol. I didnt know about rinsing the carpets after soapy solutions so thats great info to have! In your opinion, do the soapy "diy" mixes work better than the expensive bissell cleaner solutions? Or how would they compare, in your opinion? Thank you so much for your time and the info! I would definitely watch your cleaning channel or read your blog 😁

@@fatbarbiee hey I’m so sorry for the late response. I think it’s always going to depend on your cleaning needs and the material/situation. For the couch I think it’s worth it to do the expensive solution if you feel like you’re not getting anywhere with diys. What material is the couch, how dirty is it? Personally, I’d also be concerned about sanitizing and for that I’d use the lysol laundry sanitizer (but I suppose you’d need to test a small spot and check that it won’t damage it) i would dilute it because it’s designed to be used in the washing machine anyway, so it would be diluted in there. I’d probably use that in the machine and spray let it sit for a little and extract. After I did that then I’d go for the bissell solution. We don’t wear shoes in my house and my carpets have always been well maintained, even before I owned a home carpet cleaner. I’d say never go more powerful than you need. For example, someone I know just moved into a brand new house, and the carpets are new, but probably a little dusty from nearby construction. So for that I don’t think it’s worth it to use the bissell 4x solution because it’s so expensive. Instead I used one of those pressurized pump sprayers and put a very diluted mix of oxi clean laundry detergent and water. Then I just used hot water and did a light run with the bissell because I didn’t feel like they needed to be soaked. How are your diy mixes working out?

@@aval5098 What is a good neutral ph carpet cleaner? I can't find any.

Lol

thats exactly what i was going to say lol

Hi guys I had some paint drops and red pa8nt drops does this work too

Also she used the machine more like a vacuum and didn't seem to use the correct slower motion.

@@gannicusnobody7782 She sped up the video.

I actually had one on my carpet I used this awesome on the spot put a damp white cloth then used my iron to steam it and it came up

Only when spraying you press the trigger

You have to do a special treatment for red stains.

I usually try to clean carpets after everyone goes to bed just to minimize foot traffic. The towel suggestion above me is a good idea also. 🙂

It does work , I do recommend using the actual carpet solution will clean much better 😚

Some people's grammar!

Children are messy. Pets are messy. When I was a boy, my carpets looked even worse than that in the same amount of time.

You'll understand when you have kids. Specially toddlers. One of my sons would dead ass look me in the eye and soul every type of liquid he could. That's just how it's are. Pets drag poop from litter box , throw up and so on. Sometimes you're in a rush that is not possible to remove stains all the way. Sometimes it's things that are just hard to get out of carpet, even if you go at it right after.

@@eduardojlino so true! We just had our brand new carpet for 24 hours before my 2 yr old nephew pooped on it, and then the dog barfed on it!

She clearly said popsicle from her child...and why bother wasting money replacing the carpets if it gets that dirty anyways in 2 years?..just wait until the kids grow older

@@drinking_master eabod’s

A pity the grotesque paths humans can go down.

Oh wow, aren't you Mr. Clean. Her carpets weren't even that bad before she cleaned.

Omg not everyone can be boujee clean like you ma lord

What a life you must be leading.
