Home Made Rug Cleaner Worked For Us!

I am sure you have seen it. Everyone on Pinterest is talking about a rug cleaner that uses

Baking Soda
Peroxide 
and dish soap. 


This terrible stain is in Goddess' bedroom. One day about 3 years ago she got a stomach virus after consuming her favorite chocolate hence this terrible stain! We hate it and used at least 10 different cleaners over the years and finally put a rug over it. I shook up the peroxide, baking soda and dish soap in a spray bottle for a loooong time. The Baking Soda takes a long time to dissolve but when we did...and scrubbed the stain with a toothbrush...we were surprised.

I cannot believe how long we had to look at that ugly stain! It looks amazing now.

  3. I hadn't heard about this for carpets, I use this combination for my kids school shirts. It's gets out stains on their uniform shirts.

  4. I haven't heard about this but would love to know the ratio as I have a couple of stains where my dog threw up that I have not been able to remove. Thanks for the lead.

    Brilliant advice Maria thanks! I can't wait to try this myself! I am trying to work on my carpets and rugs at the minute after going through a ton of frugal blogs and trying my hand at doing more for myself instead. I've been using carpet cleaners for a while - the last were carpet cleaner solihull - they're brilliant I won't lie! Now I'd like to try my hand at it myself, but with 3 kids, 2 cats and a house rabbit I need all the help I can get. Thanks a lot!

    Thanks! I used your advice and have some pretty impressive results. I had one particularly bad carpet that I just couldn't get clean - I ended up using carpet cleaning sutton coldfield because they don't use harsh chemicals and do a great job, but for a lot of carpets I can use your advice in this post so thank you :)

    Although, I live in the suburban area, still it was not hard to hire a carpet cleaning company based in Cape Town. They reached my home as they received the order, and did a fanatical job by cleaning all the dirty rugs and carpets with their superb techniques.
