Ok - I had this thought...since it does such a friggin good job of cleaning everything else - like mold out of baby bottles and things like that - would it get my carpet perfectly clean??
I shall find out.

At the least it will get my shapoo hoses clean as a whistle...but don't worry - I'll do a real small area, first...and then rinse with a follow-up water pass only and see where it gets me.

The colors in carpets and rugs will often look
like they have taken a new lease on life if they
are brushed with a mixture of 1 cup of vinegar in
a gallon of water.

I (L) Vinegar!!

Woooah! Look at that hallway now!! oooh - ok, so I did a small section, first .. and that was just fine and nice and clean! (and no, not much of a noticable odor - nothing that can't be taken care of with my post-vacuum baking-soda treatment)

I am amazed!

This will save soo much money it's unbelievable!!

For 1/3 the cost of a big jug of carpet-shampoo treatment I can keep EVERYTHING that i hate cleaning cleaned with vinegar - bottles, the floor, the tub, the carpet!

:sweetheart :wiggle :tigger
