What is the Best Homemade Carpet Cleaner for Tough Stains?

By Joan Clark

What is the best homemade carpet cleaner for tough stains? I’m talking about things like spilled fruit juice and ground-in dirt. I have kids and beige carpet. I think you get the picture.

I hear you. It’s true that colorful fruit juices and tracked-in dirt will make a disaster of a light-colored carpet. The best DIY carpet cleaner for tough stains like those would be one with Borax. In fact, the recipe is as follows below.

To start with, mix one-quarter cup each of Borax, table salt, and white distilled vinegar. It will have a pasty consistency. Work that mixture into the spot and let it sit overnight. In the morning, vacuum the area and see how it looks. This is the best way to get old rust stains out of carpet. If you can still see a mark, even a faint one, try the next cleaner below.

The second recipe consists of two tablespoons of baking soda and one tablespoon of vinegar. This combination will make a paste that you can apply to the stain and let dry. Again, vacuum the carpet thoroughly. If you have a fresh spill to clean, this is an effective cleaner for that, too.

Afterward, if you wish to clean your rug, try this homemade carpet cleaning spray. You’ll need one cup of white vinegar, two cups of water, two teaspoons of table salt, and 15 drops of lavender essential oil, plus a spray bottle.

Mix the solution in the bottle. Once you apply that to the rug, it will need time to dry. It might be best to treat the floor right before bed if it’s in a high-traffic area.

If you have a carpet cleaner machine at home, you can make a homemade recipe for it, too. In brief, you’ll need dish soap, ammonia, and vinegar. The full description of how to make it is in this article: https://www.tipsbulletin.com/diy-homemade-carpet-cleaner/

In conclusion, I hope you find the ideal solution to maintain your rug in top shape.
