Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 This is what I do: Rosemary-Lavender Carpet ShampooThis recipe makes enough for a 10' x 13' room. If you can't find soap flakes, you can use 1/4 cup borax instead, but test the outcome of this substitution on a small area first.2 cups baking soda1/2 cups soap flakes20 drops lavender essential oil8 drops rosemary essential oil1/2 cup vinegar per 2 cups warm water1. Sweep carpet to be cleaned with a broom or carpet sweeper to loosen dirt, then vacuum the entire area.2. Combine the baking soda and soap flakes in a plastic bowl. Add the essential oils and mix well, breaking up any clumps with a fork. Sprinkle the mixture on the carpet.3. Add the vinegar to the warm water in the tank of your carpet shampooer. Steam clean as you would with carpet cleaning solution. Smells and works great! Kim S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
