Oxygen bleach is also less toxic than other types of bleach, and it will freshen your carpet and remove smells when mixed with vinegar.
Things You Will Need
-
Measure out the ingredients for the mixture.
-
Add the measured water, oxygen bleach and vinegar to the bucket.
-
Stir the mixture well with a large paddle or spoon until the oxygen bleach is dissolved. It will take five to 10 minutes to dissolve completely.
-
Spot-treat the carpet with the mixture in heavily soiled areas. Place the remaining mixture into a carpet-cleaning device and use as you normally would.
-
Empty the carpet cleaner and add fresh water. Run it over the carpet again with the fresh water to remove any residue from the cleaner.
