Carpet Cleaner..........................................................................
Whether you rent a machine or have a cleaning service, don’t
use the carpet shampoo they want to sell, even if they “guarantee”
that it is all natural and safe. Instead add these to a bucket (about
four gallons) of water and use it as the cleaning solution:
Wash water Rinse water
1/3 cup borax ¼ cup grain alcohol
2 tsp. boric acid
¼ cup white distilled vinegar or
4 tsp. citric acid
Borax does the cleaning; alcohol disinfects, boric acid leaves
a pesticide residue, and the vinegar or citric acid give luster. If
you are just making one pass on your carpet, use the borax,
alcohol, and boric acid. Remember to test everything you use on
an unnoticed piece of carpet first.
