Stretching your carpet cleaning solution

Posted on 11/06/10 at 5:55 PM By Mark Mosley | 9 Replies
I have found that for general cleaning I can dilute the carpet solution 50 % and still get a good deep clean.

I will try to see if it works - I do spot clean and think it helps

If you treat spots right away and clean your carpeting at least once a year, I think the solution goes further- the dirt is not so embedded

Hadn't tried diluting the solution but will try it. We clean carpets more so than not. A lot of allergy prone people in our house, but we love our dogs.

I use the kind you buy when you rent the machines - bottle looks like Rug Doctor, but isn't. It says "7 in one". I mix it half and half, ignoring the fill lines, and use that in my ProHeat 2X - it works great.

What solution do you use? Mine always seems to stay dirty even when I don't dilute the solution.

I find that diluting the solution for regular cleaning works just fine, especially with the ProHeat2X. Plus, it doesn't bother the dogs nearly as much. But for deeper cleaning and spots I use it full strength. Works just fine and any money savings is always a good thing.

I agree with Bunks.  I prefer using full strength solutions, but it depends on how frequently you clean.  If you clean frequently it does make sense to dilute the cleaner if you are happy with the results.

I don't mind using the right amount because we don't clean it that much so what's a little solution?  Plus I want the full effect of the cleaner.
