Vacuum very well before you clean your carpets. This is important for getting your carpets extra clean and preventing dirt from becoming embedded or tearing up carpet fibers.
Make your own cleaner. By mixing 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup borax and 1/4 cup vinegar, you get your own natural carpet cleaner. Then, apply this paste to deep stains or heavily soiled sections of carpet. Allow the paste to sit on the carpet for several hours until it dries completely, then vacuum it away.
Pet Stains. Clean up any solids and blot up any liquids as much as possible. Sprinkle baking soda on the area and leave to sit for 10 minutes. This neutralizes odors. Spray the area with distilled white vinegar or a commercial enzyme cleaner and vacuum the area.
Red Wine or Grape Juice. Blot up as much of the liquid as you can. Mix warm water and some dish soap and clean the affected area as quickly as possible, as this stain can set in pretty fast.
Body Fluids or Vomit. Clean up as much of it as you can. Then, take as many towels as needed and blot the area. Sprinkle cornstarch or baking soda on the area generously and leave it to sit for about 20 minutes and then vacuum.
Mud and Dirt. If it is mud, let it dry first. When it is dry, vacuum the area well. You may still have some mud left behind. If this is the case, use warm water and detergent to gently clean it up. Let that dry and vacuum again.
Milk or Ice Cream. Dairy presents some issues in that it can leave behind an awful odor if not cleaned properly. To do this, blot up as much as possible. Then, make a solution of dish soap and warm water and scrub the area. Sprinkle the area with cornstarch and allow to dry. Vacuum the area and repeat the process if necessary.
