Hey mamas, it's been a long time, and I'm missing the opportunities I used to have to visit the board.
With that said, I was hoping someone had an idea about what to use in my rug cleaner machine. I don't want to buy the cleaner stuff, but don't know what else to use.
Any ideas?

Dr bronners works fine in it. I usually add a little oxiclean to help brighten-- oh and you dont need a ton of dr bronners or you will end up with soap residue. If that happens just run a cycle with water only.
hth!

Originally posted by emmas~clogs I agree, the Dr. B's works well (and the house will smell great too!)
Oh! Awesome point!! I love all the smells of Dr. Bronners. Now I won't be able to decide which one to use.
It's actually for my friend's house, and I actually came across a realization - I got rid of my carpet cleaner last time I cleaned out storage - DOH! But she's going to rent one, and I've convinced her to try something other than the cleaner.
Oh, should I get her almond, lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus... Oh, I think I'll do eucalyptus - her cat keeps bringing in fleas, couldn't that help?
Okay, I've actually heard that the best way to clean carpets is just water, nothing else. Anything else will leave a reside which will attract dirt in the future.

I got a natural rug cleaner shampoo, by Ecos brand, at my local hfs when I steam cleaned mine...it worked great, and I only used 1/2 of the recommended amount
