Before listing the ingredients that would be needed for a good carpet cleaner, let’s understand the importance of having one at home.

• Accommodates good smell: one important reason for the importance of a carpet cleaner is it helps in improving the smell of your carpet. Especially if you have kids, keep pets, which can lead to vomiting that may leave a disturbing smell. Carpet cleaning is also important if you want your carpet to have a fresh smell

• Prevent allergens/bacteria from spreading: it can also prevent your carpet from bacteria/germs hiding in your carpet. Because carpets are good breeding grounds for such bacteria and allergens, and they are dangerous to you and your family's health. This is given your carpet a deep clean is essential.

Now we know the importance of carpet cleaners, let’s list the ingredients that make up a good homemade carpet cleaner.

Ingredients you’d need for your homemade carpet cleaner

White vinegar:

This ingredient helps in the removal of the tough stains from your carpets, especially those caused by your pets. It's also good for deodorizing your carpet while tackling tough stains.

Normally the vinegar is diluted with water so it’s not acidic when using. It’s also safe for use on most fabrics.

Salt:

Normally this acts as the carpet cleaning recipe that comes to the rescue when the stain on your carpet is really tough, like cranberry juice or red wine. I recommend you pour some salt on the stained area and then wait for the liquid to get absorbed.

Once the salt has absorbed all the liquid, then you can vacuum. You can also use a carpet cleaner spray afterward.

Essential oil (Lavender):

This can act as a spray, because it comes with deodorizing properties, helps tackle viruses, and bacteria hiding in your carpet. This oil is versatile and can be used around your kids and pets without any complication

Note:

If you’re dealing with a liquid stain then remember to first absorb the excess liquid before using your homemade carpet cleaner. If the stain is solid, then try to pick up as much as you can before you use your homemade carpet cleaner
