Chemical carpet cleaning agents can leave behind harmful chemicals that can cause many rashes and allergic reactions that can specially affect children and older adults. Many environmentally friendly products are available in the market today, which work as well as or better than chemical cleaners.

An effective environmentally friendly cleaner currently in the market called Ecomist, works to remove stains and does not leave any harmful residue on your carpet. You can buy these products from your natural goods store or from a store online. Be sure you experiment with a couple of brands before you settle, as some brands are more effective at removing tough stains than others.

When doing your yearly carpet clean, you can consider cleaning companies that specialize in natural ingredients. If you opt for renting cleaning equipment, clean the chambers of any used agents.

For those on a budget, there are natural agents that are good for carpet cleaning. Vinegar and water is an excellent ingredient for removing fresh stains, just use the mixture and rub the stain with a clean cloth. A baking soda paste is an inexpensive ingredient and works well on older stains. For best results leave the paste on the stain for a few minutes and then removed using a cloth.

By opting for natural carpet cleaning agents, you should be able to create a safer allergy free environment for your family and at the same time be more environmentally friendly.
