Below I've listed several recipes for homemade carpet cleaner and homemade carpet shampoo to keep your carpet clean for less, with basic ingredients.

Several homemade carpet cleaner recipes, including a shampoo for spots, as well as two recipes for carpet cleaners {on Stain Removal 101}

As with all homemade cleaners it is best to test first in an inconspicuous area of your carpet before use throughout, to check for color fastness and to make sure it does not damage your carpet fibers.

In addition, please follow all carpet cleaning machine instructions regarding the solutions suggested, and when in doubt follow the instructions for the machine instead of these.
