Get matched with top carpet cleaners in Spalding, NE

The best solution for mopping floors depends on the type of floor you have, but a good all-around or multi-purpose DIY floor cleaner is 2 cups of warm water, 5 to 10 drops of liquid dish soap, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. This is safe to use on tile, laminate, wood, polished concrete, vinyl, and more, as it’s relatively neutral and lacks caustic and abrasive chemicals that could be harmful to children and pets. You can also use a multi-purpose commercial cleaner, but make sure to follow the directions for safety.

Steam and vinegar are excellent cleaners, but it’s best not to put vinegar in your steam cleaner unless explicitly approved by the manufacturer. If you don’t dilute the vinegar properly, it can damage the steam cleaner, and using a non-approved cleaning solution in the machine can void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Yes, hydrogen peroxide can actively remove stains from carpets. Just avoid using anything more than a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Anything more than 6% could bleach your carpet.

The best way to deep clean a carpet yourself is to buy or rent a carpet steam cleaner. First, spot-clean the carpet to pre-treat any stains, then vacuum to remove any lingering dirt or debris. Next, use the carpet cleaner across the room, repeating as needed for heavily soiled areas. Let the carpet dry thoroughly before walking on it—this could take a full day, depending on your home’s humidity level and air circulation.
