I've used the Hoover cleaner with oxyclean and I've used vinegar. I like the vinegar just as well as the other cleaner and it worked just as well if not better.

Hello,

Cleaning the carpet not easy. Before I put water on the carpet I see to that all the small particles are removed. And then I soaked it with water and diswashing liquid and leave for 3 hours.

I use Earth Friendly Products Carpet Shampoo. Before that I used vinegar and water while I waited for someone to come out with a natural product. It works great and smells nice. The best part is that the kids and dogs aren't rolling around in toxic chemicals when I'm done!
