Green Tip: Eco-Friendly Spot Cleaner

Whether it’s from kids, pets or from just being clumsy, spills on carpets are inevitable but thanks to this week’s Green Tip; stains don’t have to be!  Instead of reaching for a chemical laden carpet cleaner, try out this all-natural spot cleaner the next time your drink decided to land on the floor. You probably have all of the ingredients in your house right now!

Mix 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup borax and 1/4 cup vinegar, 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.
