Essential Oils For Carpet Stain | Easy Carpet Cleaning Recipes

Move out from toxic stain cleaners to essential oils for carpet stains to get rid of tough stains with chemical-free solutions and sweet smell!

While it’s true that commercial stain cleaners can remove any stain with ease, it’s also true that the high level of chemicals can be bad for your health. Know how to make a natural cleaner with our homemade essential oils for carpet stain recipes.

The first thing to do even before you access the damage and start cleaning the stain is to try and scoop/dab any excess material on your carpet. Not only will the step help you clean better, but it will also prevent the stain culprit from spreading around.
Make sure you are not rubbing the stain without the cleaning agent, as that will lead the spill to go deeper into the carpet fibers. Once you have scooped and blotted the stain, it is now time to clean it.
Use water and a clean towel to start cleaning the stain. Water helps remove some, if not all, the stain material. However, it is not advisable to begin the cleaning process with water if the stain material has any form of oil and grease in it.
