I'm interested in cleaning my carpets, but I also want to limit my exposure (and my cats' exposure) to chemicals, since we all have asthma, and I have allergies. I usually purchase products that remove pet and other odors, and spray them over the areas I'll be cleaning, let them soak in for a bit, then vacuum them up. Does anyone know of a more eco-friendly and healthier way to clean carpets? My preference would be to rip them all out, but I don't own the place, nor can I afford to replace the flooring, so please don't bother to suggest those things.
