Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Would anyone know of any companies that sell environmentally safe carpet shampoo? I've searched the Internet without success. I have a Hoover SteamVac that I use to shampoo my carpet and I want to start using " green clean " products in it.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Jacq, there is an ad in Natural Home and Garden magazine for a company that sells just this. I can't remember the name, but I will look for it tonight at home and post it tomorrow.

Mine is not a " SteamVac " though - so I'm not sure whether Dr Bronner's would work for you. Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Gaiam.com sells one. I've used it in my Hoover steamer and it works fairly well. My only complaint is it didn't completely get rid of the dog urine smell (my older toy poodle has sprung a leak :-( If you can't find it on their site I can try to find the name of it for you.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 I also have a Hoover SteamVac, and it's a well used machine in our house. I do not use the hoover shampoo, with the exception of only using a little bit on an occasional tough stain. For everything else I just use water and a bit of white vinegar added. Yes, once again it's the vinegar......I use it for practically everything. I'm sure there are lots of enviromentally friendly cleaning products out there, but for me personally I'm cheap so I try to come up with the cheapest way of doing something that is still safe for my family and pets. I spend so much money on organic produce (I just planted a garden, so hopefully I'll save there too) I try to be cheap in other ways.
