Natural Health, Feb, 2008 by Emmy Favilla

Next time you need to rid your carpet of stains or odors, try this natural, at-home recipe/ram Annie B. Bond, the executive producer of Care2's Green Living channel.

Mix equal parts liquid dish soap and hydrogen peroxide (if the bottle in your cabinet is dusty and years old, replace it, since hydrogen peroxide loses its effectiveness over time), and apply to stain with a sponge. Blot and reapply if necessary, then use warm water to rinse. Allow to dry.
