I have been wanting to shampoo my carpet since this post about my fall cleaning.
Well, with the pressure from Christmas entertaining, I finally did it, lol.
It was getting BAD! Opps!
Here is a before picture.
Here is the after picture.
Before.
After. I know the sunlight is in the way but trust me, it looks way better now!
Before.
After. WOW!
Before. This was under our recliner chair. It was like a black grease.
After. I wasn’t sure that all that would come off. It was really, really bad, but it DID!!! :)
How I clean the carpet:
Take everything out of the room. I left a couple of things in but all the little things came out.
Vacuum with a clean vacuum. Make sure to empty the canister or bag to get the best suction.
Fill up my carpet cleaner machine with natural cleaners. I use Shaklee’s Organic Basic H, Basic G and Nature Bright. They are non-toxic so you don’t have to worry about what chemicals are on the carpet that your kids play on all day. Did you know that carpet cleaners are some of the fumes to inhale? I use Organic Basic H to wash the carpet (about 1 T per gallon), Basic G to disinfect the carpet (about 1 T per gallon) and Nature Bright to bright dull carpet if needed (several scoops depending on your carpet – if you use this make sure to rinse well and vacuum after dry).
(picture from back of Nature Bright)
Let the carpet dry. I don’t let anyone go in the room for several hours but it is usually dry after a hour.
Dust all furniture and put back. Remember do not put back any clutter. This might be a good time to simplify! Only put back the essentials!
Enjoy your fresh, clean carpet!
How often do you clean your carpet?
Is there a project that you have been putting off but are motivated by Christmas company coming?
Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteI am happy to say that I only have one room with carpet - our master bedroom. The carpet in there is brand new, but I like how you are cleaning it. Did you use this formula in a carpet steam cleaner or did you scrub by hand? I wasn't sure. I haven't heard of Basic G....what is the difference from the Basic H? Thanks...
ReplyDeleteBecky B.
I need to shampoo our living room carpet too. We do it a few times a year and I would love to get it done before Christmas. Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteI have the same color carpet as yours and with two kids I have spots everywhere. Recently I started using the Basic H directly on a spot when I see one and it works perfectly. Also I'm not buying anymore those expensive carpet cleaners products :)
ReplyDeleteWe just cleaned the carpets tonight because my son decided to pour milk all over the carpet. Usually, we clean the carpets twice a year, but do use the carpet cleaner when needed like tonight. It probaly gets cleaned more than twice a year but twice a year we move most of the furniture. I use plain old water and vinegar. The vinegar smell is minor and by the morning it will be gone. This way I know it is safe formy kiddos to play on.
ReplyDeleteI liked using the white vinegar and H20 rinse too in my Hoover SteamVac for the final cycle. It removes any remaining residue and is an economic and green alternative. Bonnie, your carpet looks fabulous especially with adding the Nature Bright!
ReplyDeleteWe no longer have any carpet in the downstairs, but I am getting ready to shampoo the carpets upstairs and was wondering about the measurements to use of Basic H and Basic G. I didn't even think to use Nature Bright. This post came just in time. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour carpet looks fantastic!!! What kind of carpet cleaner do you have? I've been wanting to get one! My mom and has a Rainbow, so I could probably just use that! :) Let me know!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Looks great. I also would like to know what kind of machine you have. We've been thinking of getting one also.
ReplyDeleteNice carpets! I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I tore all of my carpet out and replaced with laminate flooring as soon as I bought the house.

I love the before and after comparison in the photos! Nice cleaning! Just a reminder, make sure you use detergents that are not too strong on the carpet. Better ask a carpet cleaning professional what detergents you can use.
