Generally speaking, laundry detergent is not recommended for use in carpet cleaners. Laundry detergent is designed to be used in washing machines and is not formulated to be used in carpet cleaners. Carpet cleaners are formulated with specific ingredients that are designed to be used on carpets and upholstery, and using laundry detergent could potentially damage the fibers of the carpet or furniture. Additionally, using laundry detergent in a carpet cleaner could cause a build-up of soap residue, which can attract dirt and cause the carpets and furniture to become soiled more quickly.

How do you make carpet cleaner with laundry detergent?

To make a carpet cleaner with laundry detergent, start by filling a bucket with one gallon of hot water. Then add 1/4 cup of laundry detergent and mix it into the water until it is fully dissolved. Next, apply the cleaner to your carpet using a sponge or a spray bottle. Let the cleaner sit for 5 to 10 minutes and then use a wet vacuum to suck up the excess moisture. Finally, allow the carpet to dry completely before walking on it.

What can I use in place of carpet shampoo?

Carpet shampoo is designed to deep clean carpets and remove odours, stains and dirt. However, there are several alternatives that you can use in place of carpet shampoo, such as baking soda, vinegar, or a mixture of both. Baking soda is naturally abrasive and can help to break down dirt and oils. Vinegar is a natural sanitizer and deodorizer that can help to remove odours and stains. You can also combine baking soda and vinegar to make a cleaning solution that can help to remove dirt and stains from carpets.
