How to Make Natural Organic Carpet Stain Cleaner
- 1). Shop for supplies to make your natural organic carpet stain cleaner kit. You will need to visit a natural foods store or shop online for organic distilled white vinegar, organic baking soda, and organic cornstarch. You will also need a stiff brush, a spray bottle and a large shaker bottle. Do not reuse old spray bottles that may have contained harsh chemicals or other cleaners.
- 2). Mix equal parts vinegar and water together in the spray bottle. Vinegar is a safe, natural and effective cleaner. It kills germs and eliminates odors. Don't worry if you don't like the smell of vinegar; it will quickly dissipate, leaving a clean, fresh smell.
- 3). Fill the shaker bottle with equal parts baking soda and cornstarch. Shake or stir to mix thoroughly. This mixture will clean, deodorize, scour and brighten your carpets without leaving any toxic residue.
- 4). Label both the containers, and put them together with the stiff brush in a box to complete your natural organic carpet stain cleaner kit. Place the kit out of the reach of pets and children.
- 5). For all stains, it is important to treat the stain as quickly as possible. Blot the carpet with paper towels, removing as much of the spilled material as you can. Spray with the vinegar solution and let it soak into the stain for about 30 minutes. Blot dry. Shake the baking soda mixture onto the stain, covering it completely. Use the brush to work the powder into the carpet, and leave for another 30 minutes. Vacuum your carpet thoroughly.
