We've found that many DIYers make this rookie mistake. Not only do they apply too much shampoo during the cleaning process, but they also don't properly rinse out what they do apply. The chemicals left behind can damage your carpet, and will leave a residue that will transform your carpet into a dirt magnet.

However, you should be careful not to scrub too hard or use too much water. Doing so can damage the carpet and lead to more stains in the future.

Step 6: Rinse Your Carpets (Optional)

If you have time, you can go back over the cleaned carpet again with only hot tap water in the tank (no formula this time). This will remove any leftover formula and give your carpets an extra clean.

When you combine the neutralising properties of baking soda with the stain-attacking power of white vinegar, you have a fairly effective organic stain remover. The best part about vinegar and baking soda combined as a cleaning agent is the ability of the combination to remove stubborn, old stains.

If the stain is stubborn and won't come out, make a solution of one quart of warm water and one teaspoon of mild non-bleach laundry detergent (the liquid kind). Don't use dishwasher detergent. Apply this solution to the stain, let it sit for about five minutes and blot up excess moisture.

To tackle every type of carpet emergency, always have these key ingredients on hand: lemon juice, baking soda, vinegar, and natural soap or organic detergent. These compounds, whether they're working together or alone, are sure to clean almost any carpet.
