[Everything doTERRA] all natural lemon carpet cleaner

(If you are worried about discoloration, test on a small, hidden area first.)

All Natural Lemon Carpet or Spot Cleaner

Supplies:

• White vinegar
• Baking Soda (not baking powder– there is a difference!)
• Lemon essential oil (optional– I use doTERRA essential oils exclusively)
• Old towels or rags

Directions:

1. If using the lemon essential oil, mix it with the baking soda, then sprinkle the mixture on the spot. Allow it to sit on the stain for a little while– anywhere from an hour to overnight. Lemon is a wonderful all-around cleaner, and it helps to deodorize the carpet as well. If you aren't using the lemon, then sprinkle plain baking soda over the stain.

2. Mix a 1:1 ratio of vinegar and water in a spray bottle (remember to repurpose!) Generously spray this mixture on the baking soda and allow it to fizz.

3. Lay a towel or rag over the wet spot and press on it to absorb the moisture. I've heard it's not recommended to "scrub" carpet, since it can damage the fibers. However, you can bet I've definitely done some scrubbing at my house in moments of desperation… *ahem* Proceed at your own risk.

4. Depending on the severity and age of the stain, you may have to repeat this process more than once.

It make take several applications, but I have had great luck at removing the toughest of stains. And, it's all natural so you don't have to worry about any toxic chemicals in your house.
