Carpet Cleaner

I found this carpet cleaner on Pinterest and I have to say it works really well.  I was able to get old stains out of the carpet and it does not smell like a lot of store bought cleaners.  It was cheap, fast and easy to put together.  I did not use the baking soda since they were old stains but it still worked just as well.

Directions- 1. Scrape up the liquid 

2. Sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch on stain to let absorb for 10 minutes and then vacuum.

3. Mix one tablespoon clear dishwashing liquid and one tablespoon white vinegar with two cups of warm water.

4. Using a white cloth (I strongly believe in microfiber washcloths), sponge the stain with the detergent/vinegar solution and blot until all the liquid is absorbed.
5. Sponge off with cold water and blot dry.
