Carpet cleaning question?

Question

Is it okay to use a hair shampoo instead of a carpet shampoo to clean your carpet? I would like something that I would already have in my house. I have a carpet cleaner to use. Thank you for your kind answers.

Answer 1

i get stuff from walmart..its over in the carpet cleaner aisle..i get one for pet smells since i have two dogs..since u have a carpet cleaner think that would work better than shampoo

Answer 2

I'm not too sure about hair shampoo, but I have used liquid laundry detergent.  It smells better than carpet cleaning solutions and it's cheaper.  Most people already have it in the home and if you don't have liquid detergent, use powdered and dissolve it in warm water, dilute and put in your carpet cleaning machine.  It works wonders!

Answer 3

Don't ever use anything on your carpet that wasn't designed for it except 3% hydrogen peroxide.

IN FACT many consumer products are too aggressive and can damage carpet fibers. Oxiclean and resolve cause many problems for us professionals.
