Best Carpet Cleaner EVER!

ByAlexis

This is the best carpet spot cleaner I have ever found. Who knew that you can use 2 things that you currently have in your pantry and get out those nasty kid stains on the carpet. It works awesome!

*Note: always test on a hidden spot first to make sure this will work well for your carpet.  I have used it in several homes and had great success, but always better to test it first*

2 cups Hydrogen Peroxide

¼ cup baking soda

Mix it all right in a squeeze bottle.  Voila!  Stain removing magic.

I had just finished vacuuming and I was really annoyed that the Capri-Sun spill that I had diligently soaked up with hot water and vinegar was still getting darker and darker.  Last week I considered just rearranging the furniture.  This week, I took to Pinterest to find a solution.

I like this kind of water bottle for the job because it has a handy squeeze top.

I gave the spot a generous squirt of remover and rubbed and scrubbed it with my rag.  Then I went over it with the vacuum to dry it a bit.  Voila.

Really…..it felt like magic.  Middle spot gone!  Now I just need to tackle the other spots until I can get the carpet cleaning company to come do the entire room.

  7. Did the spot come back? I didn't see a follow up post and I would love to know! Three little boys at our house make big messes! 🙂 thanks!

    1. I am still impressed with the results. I have used it on new spills and it works! I do get my carpets cleaned professionally once a year but this is the most wonderful spot cleaner I have tried

  10. Pinterest has been very helpful! It’s really hard to keep your carpet clean, especially with kids and pets around. You really have to exert extra effort in cleaning it yourself. These cleaners are really a big blessing to the household!

  11. The carpet is also one major problem in our house, though our cat causes the mess instead. I’ve tried a solution similar to this one actually -- a mixture of vinegar, baking soda, and water. I guess the Hydrogen Peroxide is the sanitizer in yours; apart from that, it helps in removing the stain. -->Brain Ventris

  12. Cool! I’ve also learned a lot from Pinterest. It’s sure to give you anything household-related. 😀 Anyway, I’ve tried this solution before. I’m glad it still has the same effect. And what’s tempting about settling with this alternative is that it’s cheap. But that doesn’t take away anything from its effectiveness either.

  15. Angie, I will post again in a few weeks and let you know the results. Lots of carpet cleaners leave a sticky residue that then attracts dirt and dust and makes the spot re-appear. I will let you know how it goes for me. 🙂

  16. Great solution. I'm interested more in knowing if the spot comes back. All the carpet cleaner and spot solutions I've tried seem to temporarily remove the spots, but then a few weeks later they resurface. Let us know---thanks.

    1. The reason they resurface is because the stain has gone through the carpet to the underlay. And as you walk on it the spot reappears.

  17. This is the best hint ever. I've got one little spot in our spare room that just glares at me every time I walk in the room. I will try this formula and see if it works. Thanks for sharing, as I don't have pinterst.

  18. I love that it's all natural. I also mix up big batches of baking soda and lavender (that I've dried) to sprinkle on carpets, then, vacuum up. Who needs Fabreze!! XOXO

    1. Even though baking soda and hydrogen Peroxide are excellent natural stain removers for carpets and other fabrics throughout your house - I've been recommending this to my customers for years - you have to be very careful with putting down "big batches" of baking soda. Much - not all - of the baking soda you put down binds to your carpet fibers where it can not be removed by simply vacuuming. This baking soda residue works like a magnet to dirt and, as a result, your carpets will dirty up quickly. Causing you to have to call a professional cleaner much soon - and much more often than you normally would.
