Homemade Carpet Cleaner: This all-natural carpet cleaner can remove the toughest of stains – just like a SeaComm Visa Platinum can remove the stain of high rate credit cards!

What You Need:

  • White vinegar
  • Water
  • Baking Soda
  • Lemon essential oil

First, mix the essential oil with the baking soda, then sprinkle the mixture on the spot. Allow it to sit on the stain for a little while. Depending on the size of the stain, this could be anywhere from an hour to overnight. Mix an equal ratio of vinegar and water in a spray bottle, and generously spray this mixture on the baking soda. Lay a towel or rag over the stain, and apply pleasure to help absorb the moisture. Depending on the severity of the stain, you may have to repeat this process more than once.
