Author: Rachel @ Surviving The Stores

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 quarts of hot (NOT boiling) water
• 1/4 cup of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (it’s the regular hydrogen peroxide that you can get at any store)
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons of White Vinegar
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons of Dish Soap (we use Seventh Generation and it worked great)
• About 1/8 of a teaspoon of your favorite essential oil(s) – either just one or a combination.  Vanilla and lavender would be a good one.  I had ginger and lavender on hand so I used those, but I’m going to get vanilla for next time.  (**we used Tea Tree Oil)

Instructions

1. Mix all of the ingredients together (be sure to add the dish soap to the water and not the water to the dish soap – you’ll see why if you do it the wrong way just once)
2. Pour into your carpet cleaning machine.
3. Clean like the directions tell you to.      (from: http://www.survivingthestores.com/homemade-carpet-cleaner-shampoo-recipe-non-toxic-machines.html
