I need to steam clean my carpets, they are not really dirty just dingy we are both smokers so there is a coating of nicotine to remove as well. its stainmaster carpet so I dont want to remove the scothgard treatment either. I find the commerical products tend to leave a residue even if you rinse the carpet that seems to attract dirt and they get dirty quicker

any good cleaning solution recipes? anyone tried borax?

what a good spot remover they are a couple of stains from overfilled flower pots

Thanks
