To make a pre-treat solution, mix 2 tablespoons of liquid Tide, 1/4 cup of LA’s Totally Awesome cleaner, 3 tablespoons of Oxiclean, and 1 teaspoon of Downy in 1 gallon of hot water. Stir well. Spray the carpet and let it sit for five minutes. Always test on a small area first for safety.
In a clean spray bottle, combine the warm water and carpet shampoo. Mix gently to avoid excess suds. Next, add the white vinegar. Vinegar acts as a natural deodorizer and helps break down stains effectively. Shake the bottle softly to blend the ingredients well.
Before applying the solution, test it on a hidden carpet area to ensure colorfastness. After confirming that your carpet is safe, spray the solution directly onto the stained areas. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes, then blot the stain with a clean cloth.
This DIY carpet cleaner solution preps your carpet for deeper cleaning. Once you have treated any stains, the next step is to deep clean the entire carpet. This process will enhance the look and feel of your carpets, ensuring a fresher home environment.
