I have recently purchased Melaleuca’s Sol-U-Mel and I love it, and I know that you can use it to treat stains on carpets, but is it safe to use in a steam cleaner?

I have cream colored carpet, and while there are no food/drink/etc stains, there are some blackish stains in the higher traffic areas.

I have a Bissell ProHeat 2X and I have tried all of the Bissell products and while they initially work, a few days later, I guess after everything has fully dried, some of the spots return. I usually do 2-3 passes with the steam cleaner.
I have also tried the "old school" method of ammonia and laundry detergent which works a little better, but still, the black spots return and I also have pets. Not to mention, I am 5 months pregnant and don’t need to deal with ammonia.

So does anyone know if I can use Sol U Mel in my cleaner. Sure, I could spot clean but that would take me almost as long to do as just steaming the whole living room. If so, do you use it full strength or diluted? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

I’m talking about diluting it with water and putting it IN my Hoover Steam Vac. I used Tide laundry detergent one time when I had just run out of carpet shampoo and needed to clean the carpets in a rush (it was probably the night before Thanksgiving as well) and it worked incredibly well.

Any recipes? I don’t have vinegar to add to any recipes right now.

Thanks, thanks, thanks so much and have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

I am out of laundry soap and do not have time to go to store and back to get more – I need to improvise…

I have steam cleaner Carpet Extraction liquid which is low-foaming and color-safe for carpets… It is concentrated so I know I would only use a little bit – But is it OK to use in a washing machine?? Does anyone know? I also have dish soap but I know that is too sudsy and can be too harsh for clothes.

Your opinions please – what do you think? Shall I try it??

Thanks!!
