As a professional I’m going to say this is a tried and true method for deep cleaning secondary to steam( not really steam) hot water extraction professionally done. One suggestion would be to use a one gallon pump up sprayer or the equivalent for pre treat and complete pray of area to be cleaned ( be sure not to spray more than you can clean with one fill of the machine) and don’t allow to dry. Fill machine with hot tap( as hot as you can get) let pre spray dwell for five min or so as you address stains with brush or dog bone scraper( working from outside to inside of stain. Then use the agitator/roller brush to agitate the entire area then hot water extraction can begin. you can also apply concentrate with the machine, allow dwell time, agitate, then run a rinse ( three steps) with the same machine. It is vital to remove as much water and soap as wicking will occur ( soaps left behind and moisture will drive dirt that the machine can’t reach to the surface) to ensure any surfactants left behind are neutralised, you can use white distilled vinegar ( 4-6 ounces to the gal) in your rinse. This will relinquish any further action from the soap, and carpets will stay cleaner longer. Hope this helps.

I just used this method and it is legit. Cleaned a carpet that had 10 years of filth nor a like new finish and smell

Make sure to always go back over your carpet with clean water after cleaning to rinse some of the soap. The soap will leaves s residue that will cause it to get dirty faster. Love the recipe

2 Tbsp liquid Tide laundry detergent
1/4 cup LA's Totally Awesome cleaner
1 scoop Oxiclean (3 tbsp)
1 teaspoon Downy fabric softener optional
1 gallon hot water

I'm using this minus the fabric softener - it works great! I'd also suggest putting in a teaspoon of salt in the dirty water tank (not the fresh solution tank) every time you empty the tank as a de-foaming agent - another low cost alternative to store-bought defoamer. Especially if you use a heavier amount of the solution which I am because my carpet is way beyond due for cleaning - I find if it foams up it makes the auto shutoff in the dirty water tank close sooner. Dishwasher detergent - as in detergent for a dishwasher - is also supposed to work though haven't tried that yet.

Also - instead of removing the top tank every time to fill it I just pour the water into it mounted in the machine using a large pitcher and a funnel.

I just love your videos! They are easy to follow and your energy is great. Thanks for sharing!!!

[thomasmiller]

OMG Karrie!!!! Thank you so much, this was a TRUE gift. I used this solution in the Bissell Big Green and my carpets never look better. I will have to say I change it up a bit, used two scoops of Oxy and just a tad more of the Awesome cleaner.

[apbxny]

I tried your recipe on my high traffic walkway area carpet, and it worked beautifully!

[maureenamos]

Hi from Australia. I have a new puppy and realised it was time to invest in a spot cleaner (not Bissell!). Using your formula is like a miracle. I didn't know that my carpet was so filthy! And my mattress, wow! I never go to bed without showering or without sheets, and my mattress appears to be snowy white. I was wrong! The water that was sucked up was almost as dirty as the carpet! This stuff is brilliant. I can see myself wanting to clean everything with it like a crazy woman. I can't thank you enough for this rich economical formula! The carpet looks like new and so soft. Good on you!!

[MsLittleBarbiie]

Made this a few days ago but just used it and I have to say, 🗣 this video is heaven sent!!
I probably used more awesome than she did cause I didn’t want to measure it our because of the strong smell but Holy Moly, this stuff works better than the store bought solution. I can’t afford to buy 3 bottles of solution just to get half of my living room done so this is perfect.

[austinflores]

10/10 worked on my brown heavily stained carpets. Thank you

[tressperry]

I used this mixture on my carpet and pre-treated the high traffic areas a day before and it worked AMAZING! Everything came up! I tried the same solution in the backseat of my car with a bowl of water and a microfiber towel to retreat the stains and give it a good clean. So far so good! I will need to go back and give it a deep clean with my carpet cleaner, but I am liking the current results. I have already told a few friends about this recipe!

[jrwheeler]

Honestly, this formula works just as well if not even a little bit better than the carpet cleaning solutions that you would pay $15-20 for in the store for a small bottle. We only have one small room with carpet in our house (the rest is all hardwood and tile), which is my office. It's a light colored Berber type carpet and I use this solution about once every 6-8 weeks to clean it with our Bissell steam cleaner. We have four Golden Retrievers who spend a lot of time in my office, so it needs to be clearly fairly regularly.

[jaystar]

Omg this works amazing!! My carpet cleaner came with a tiny bottle barely cleaned my halfway. Found you video before going to buy more. I'll have my whole house cleaned for less than $3!!! So grateful!! Ty!!

[carlitosway]

Hi, great information! As far as the measurements of the liquids you put in, how much to put in? I see you using different measuring spoons but not sure how much was used. Please advise. Thank you so much.

[Iamthecreator.]

Can't wait to try this on my rugs because I spent so much money. Now I will save so much, This's so amazing for me. I have nine rugs to clean. I will let you know how did it when for me. Thank you, Karrie, for sharing this with us. Have a lovely blessed morning.
