Keeping your carpet clean all year round can be a tough gig. Carpets are notorious for succumbing to everything from food spills and mysterious spots to potty training accidents and spills. However, caring for your carpet doesn’t have to be a major source of stress. It all starts with preventive care. This article will go over how you can make your own spray on carpet cleaner that you vacuum up so that you can prepare for these situations.

Caring for Your Carpet

The best way to keep your carpets clean and looking new is to take a few precautionary measures. First, start by taking off your shoes in the house. Shoes track in all kinds of bacteria, dirt and grime onto your carpet.

Vacuuming regularly will also go a long way to keep your carpet clean. Be sure to set the vacuum to the right carpet height to capture dirt ingrained deep in the fibers and vacuum in every single direction, especially high traffic areas.

When dealing with spills and accidents, act as quickly as possible to prevent them from setting in.

Finally, do regular deep cleanings. You can always rent carpet cleaning machines from the local store and deep clean your carpet every 6-12 months. These machines use highly pressurized water to inject cleaning solution deep into the carpet to loosen up dirt and debris from the carpet fibers before sucking up the solution.

Spray on Carpet Cleaner That You Vacuum Up

You can make a simple spray on carpet cleaner that you vacuum up. Here are the ingredients:

•    Equal parts warm water and white vinegar
•    A few drops of regular dish washing soap
•    6-7 drops of essential oils such as lemon, lavender, or orange
•    For deeper cleaning, sprinkle some baking soda on the carpet, let it set in for about 10 minutes, then vacuum before using the machine.

“This is perfect to take quick action on stains before carpet cleaners arrive. Our technician division at FIFS Janitorial Services in Lawrenceville GA highly recommends Clean Custom’s tip, to blotch the stained area with a white cloth, in other words to pat dry and not smear or press hard on the surface area.”

Spot Cleaning

For stubborn stains, you can mix up the solution below and it will work wonders to clean your carpet. However, before treating any stain remember to:

•    Act promptly
•    Scoop up large pieces and vacuum any dry particles
•    Test the cleaning solution on a small inconspicuous spot to ensure it doesn’t damage or discolor the carpet.
•    Blot or dab the stain to prevent it from spreading out or getting deeper into the carpet.

Here’s what you’ll need for the stain remover:

•    A cup of warm water
•    Two tablespoons of white vinegar
•    Baking soda
•    Two teaspoons of clear dish soap (make sure it has no bleach and is clear)
•    At least 2 clean, absorbent cloths/towels

Here’s what you’ll do to make the cleaning solution:

•    Mix the vinegar, water and dish soap in a spray bottle and shake well.
•    Spray a generous amount of baking soda on the stain.
•    Spray the cleaning solution on the stained area and let it fizz (that shows that it’s working)
•    Once the fizzing stops, you can blot the stained area with a cloth or towel.
•    Finally, rinse the area and blot with a clean towel.
•    Continue rinsing until there’s no more solution or stain on the towel.
•    To dry the area thoroughly, lay a thick towel on the spot and weight it down with something heavy, say overnight until its dry.
