If you have carpeting in your home, you know it’s only a matter of time before it will get dirty. Your home’s floors and carpets are one the most-used surfaces in your home, and eventually you will find yourself, your kids, and your pets tracking in dirt from the outside. It’s natural to want to keep your carpets looking their best without compromising actually living on them! Keeping your carpets clean can be easier than you think. With regular maintenance and special care, your carpets can continue to look just as good as the day you first got them.

Before you run to the store to buy commercially made products, consider the carpet cleaning steps you can take at home, which are all natural. Natural carpet cleaning methods are easy once you find the formula that works best for you, and you’ll love the added benefits of not exposing your loved ones to too many chemicals.

Regular vacuuming is the easiest carpet cleaning method to combat dirt and debris in your carpet. Vacuum your carpet at least once a week to keep embedded dirt, sand, and particles out of your carpet fibers.

If your carpet is suffering from unwanted smells, sprinkling it with a mixture of essential oil and baking soda will eliminate odors. Add 10-20 drops of your favorite essential oil to baking soda, shake it over your carpet, and then use a powerful vacuum cleaner to pick up the mixture. If you have pets, you can also add 1/2 cup of borax to keep fleas at bay.

After vacuuming, use this natural carpet cleaning solution to help keep your carpet looking great.
