DIY Carpet Cleaner – Just 2 Ingredients!

I'm so excited about this little trick I learned today! I've had a stain on my (otherwise pretty clean) carpet for at least two years, and every single time I vacuum, I wish it would go away.

So today I (*finally*) did a little research, and found a DIY carpet cleaner that worked just perfectly. Now, I have no idea what the stain was (it had been there for a long time), but this took whatever it was right out. I really think this may be the best homemade carpet cleaner there is!

Here's how to make homemade carpet cleaner:

  • First, mix together equal parts white vinegar and 3% hydrogen peroxide (I used 2TB of each)
  • Next, spray or dab vinegar & peroxide into carpet and let it sit for 2-3 minutes.
  • Lastly, gently blot with a clean dry cloth ~ all done!

Be sure to test the homemade carpet cleaning solution on a small hidden area of carpet that won't be seen prior to using, as I've heard peroxide can bleach out color on carpet. Since my carpet is a light color, this wasn't a problem, but I definitely don't want that happening to you!

I'd love to know if you've tried any other homemade carpet cleaners and if they worked for you!
