Create a homemade carpet stain remover

When faced with carpet stains, there’s no need to purchase an entire container of car carpet cleaner. Craft your own solution instead. Combine one part hydrogen peroxide, two parts water, and a single drop of lemon essential oil for each ounce of solution. To prevent peroxide deterioration, either mix within the original bottle or opt for another dark-colored container. Apply your DIY carpet cleaner to the stained area, allow a few minutes for it to settle, then scrub. Caution is advised as some sources recommend using only a 3% solution to avoid carpet discoloration.

Beyond effectively tackling stubborn stains, this concoction leaves you with surplus essential oil that can be employed to freshen your surroundings or enhance personal care. A more versatile alternative to a neglected jug of car carpet cleaner in your garage.
