47 0|0|Carpets are shampooed.....oh my, they look gooood! :D I use a homemade shampoo in my Bissell, works terrific! Mix 1 cup vinegar, 1 scoop oxyclean, 2 tbs of fabric softener liquid, and 2 qts of HOT water. I use this in the solution reservoir of the machine. Takes out everything, makes the carpets fresh smelling and fluffy!|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|12:46:42|06/02/2011|

1|1|can I hire you to do mine, Joy? :-)|mindylou86|mindylou86@gmail.com|12:54:14|06/02/2011|
Seriously...my carpets need cleaning!!
lol!

2|2|LOL, maybe next week, I'm pooped! :) I love having a carpet shampooer at home, no need to run out and rent one, and I can do quick touch ups from time to time (traffic areas, spills, etc)....|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|13:03:58|06/02/2011|
" You'll get what's coming to you ... Unless it was mailed."
3|3|Tnx for the info on the homemade shampoo...|couponshelmd|couponshel@comcast.net|13:10:21|06/02/2011|
we have a carpet cleaner too, it belonged to my mother in law but she gets a new one every year; so gave us her "old" one. The cleaning solution is usually expensive, so I will DEFINITELY try your mixture soon!
Thanks :)
PS, did I see on here somewhere that the boys are graduating? Wow!!! Congrats! 4|4|I've been using that recipe (found it online) for about 2 yrs....my carpets are about 7 yrs old, but look like almost new :) The boys will be seniors this coming school year, so only one more year til they graduate :O Funny to think they were in kindergarten when I joined RS!|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|13:12:47|06/02/2011|

5|1|Dumb question here ...|melpaul|Melpaul199@aol.com|23:49:38|06/02/2011|
what does the vinger do? 6|2|...|zombietoo|littlejadensmom@juno.com|23:52:42|06/02/2011|
not dumb, white vinegar is very acidic, kills bacteria and odors
7|3|Thanks|melpaul|Melpaul199@aol.com|00:12:42|06/03/2011|
:) 8|4|Wow homeade cleaner?|pattyo|pattyolc@aol.com|05:19:17|06/03/2011|
Joy this is fantastic! I wanna make the solution today and clean mine this weekend.. I bought a bottle of Bissell and will take it back..This stuff has gone up drastically in price and used to use a walmarts brand but they too have gone up 7.00..Ridiculous..check your email..have a question!
10|5|Emailed you back....and for others interested, I dont use the Oxyclean brand powder, I use Sun brand at Dollar General, but it is the same as Oxyclean...way cheaper! A good size bucket is $5, and I use it in the laundry too. :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|08:49:46|06/03/2011|
" You'll get what's coming to you ... Unless it was mailed."
9|2|Disinfects, deodorizes, and helps to remove stains....it's a wonder! :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|08:48:37|06/03/2011|
" You'll get what's coming to you ... Unless it was mailed."
11|1|The fabric softener acts as a defoamer, as well as adding a pleasant scent and softening the carpet fibers so they are fluffy :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|08:50:25|06/03/2011|
" You'll get what's coming to you ... Unless it was mailed."
12|2|I use vinegar for alot of cleaning purposes......Its great stuff..........and it is a degreaser too the smell disappears quickly also|JOYHAPPYONE|DAIDOLA5@AOL.COM|10:33:35|06/03/2011|
JOY M GUERRINGUE 15|3|my friend put it in fish when shes cooking and no fishy smell|pattyo|pattyolc@aol.com|12:21:18|06/03/2011|
16|4|You can soak fish in milk with the same results :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|15:03:02|06/03/2011|
" You'll get what's coming to you ... Unless it was mailed."
19|3|I agree|zombietoo|littlejadensmom@juno.com|19:33:06|06/03/2011|
it is great stuff! Joy Jr. turned me on to vinegar using it in the laundry
28|3|Me too! Vinegar is safer & cheaper but goes a long way........|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|09:22:25|06/04/2011|
I use it sometimes in the winter to rinse my hair with as it not only softens my hair but gets rid of the "winter flakes". It can also be used in the bath water to soften dry or sunburned skin. I use 1 cup of it in my dog's bath rinse water as it softens her skin & hair as well but helps repel mosquitoes & gnats when she's outside.
My ENT uses it to soften earwax before removing as vinegar has anti-bacterial properties, & mixed w/a little bit of Isopropyl alcohol & putting a couple drops in the ear, it's an excellent mix to use after swimming or showering to prevent painful swimmer's ear. :)

13|1|Thanks for the info! I have to try this...|jdlaurie|savethosepennies@aol.com|12:01:13|06/03/2011|
My carpet is very old and I can't replace it yet... this solution sounds like it would work great.
Laurie:) 14|2|Can't wait.. going to Dollar general soon|pattyo|pattyolc@aol.com|12:19:45|06/03/2011|
Need to get a gallon of vinegar as well since I'm low..I use this all the time for tons of cleaning. I need to treat the traffic areas something bad so hope to get moving on it this weekend if I don't drop dead from heat
17|3|Went to 3 Dollar General stores|pattyo|pattyolc@aol.com|15:40:55|06/03/2011|
No soap.. maybe they don't carry it here..(sigh)
18|4|Patty, it is Sun brand, in a white bucket, by the laundry detergents....it isnt a soap, it's just like Oxyclean...did you ask if they have it?|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|18:22:31|06/03/2011|
" You'll get what's coming to you ... Unless it was mailed."
20|5|Hmmmmmm will it work for shampooing 3 strands of hair??? If so what a find Joy........Thanks!!|tsquared|ttrail@atwoodtv.net|21:10:39|06/03/2011|
POLICE STATION TOILET STOLEN…Police have nothing to go on
21|6|LOL, I dont know about that, Tom....maybe just a little squirt of Soft Soap hand soap would do it though! :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|22:36:15|06/03/2011|
" You'll get what's coming to you ... Unless it was mailed."
22|5|I looked for white buckets..nothing but Sun Laundry soap in plastic bottles here|pattyo|pattyolc@aol.com|04:26:39|06/04/2011|
I will ask them today and maybe head out in another direction..TY
23|6|Got your emails on the Sun oxy cleaner....if you can't find that brand, you can use any oxy cleaner powder, I just use Sun because it's cheap and works! :) Man, I hope I can still get it at my DG after reading about others having trouble finding it! I might have to run down there and if they have it, buy a couple extra buckets.|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|07:20:05|06/04/2011|
" You'll get what's coming to you ... Unless it was mailed."
32|7|No pails at my DG but they did have the smaller ones.....|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|14:34:05|06/04/2011|
I bought 2. LOL I did ask the clerk tho about the pails & she said they used to carry them but not anymore. Guess they realized they could make more $$$ off the $2 containers than the pails for $5. :-p
Going to eventually check Walmart &/or Walgreens & a couple other places for the pails.....

Seriously tho, how can they work in a store w/the public if they don't speak English? The clerks are *supposed* to be knowledgeable about what's on the shelves & be able to help you find what you're looking for in the store.....
