Been using laundry detergent for years. I wasn't aware that it was bad for the carpet. That makes me wonder if its bad for clothes too.

Ahhh.... yes, the do it yourselfer. Equipment and what type of chemical being used is a huge factor when cleaning carpets. there is
nothing on the consumer level that can give you the type of cleaning power you need. Then there is the experience factor that only
someone in the business can provide to give you the quality of cleaning you need.

Here is a recipe that I got out of the paper:
half cup ammonia
half cup white vinegar
quarter cup baking soda
2 tablespoons liquid soap
2 quarts water

Mix and pour into spray bottle - shake will before each use.

Works pretty well.

This looks like a great solution. I usually use Simple Green for my own carpets and with a little elbow geese, it works. The key is to not let you carpets get too dirty because dirt being constantly compacted into the carpet is what destroys your carpet the most.
