Carpet Cleaner for Steam Cleaning Machine

Wow! This cleans BETTER than store bought cleaners, and just leaves a fresh, clean scent. The only modification I made was to make this "extra strength" because our shampooer mixes the solution with water in the machine. Thanks for posting! A great money saver!

I never buy carpet cleaner anymore. It works wonderful.

This formula works well for me. I have a Hoover steam vac and I have white carpet with two dogs and four cats. This cleans even the toughest stains. I add the hot water to the receptable first, then I add the cleaning solution so that it doesn't bubble up and over the top. Also, I actually boil the water for the solution.

eta... this stuff works on kitchen/bathroom floors, counters, cabnets, appliances, etc., with little effort. I will always have the ingredients on hand. I am full tilt on this side and will no longer spend money on store products. This absolutely does the job, without the perfumy smell. Just smells clean when done. Having borrowed my mothers Oreck and not wanting to pay the price of their product, I was able to get my hands on several old containers (why do they all have to try & make it so difficult? Buy our product cuz nothing else on the market will be compatible to this machine?). They were tricky, but a little ingenuity (and a 'flavor injector') solved that problem. My girlfriend used it today with equally good results. I've passed this on to everyone I can think of, and they are passing it on. It did not get up all the stains (nor did I expect it to, there are some really tough ones here) it did much better than I expected. For the price, I can steam clean my carpet for a year (or even years) for less than one time with their product.

A great recipe and a $$$$ saver. I have used this on furniture and to spot clean my carpets. I highly recommend it. When I'm ready to clean the whole carpet I will use this in my Hoover steam Vac. I can't believe I've been paying mega bucks for the cleaner in a gallon, and this works better.
