Apply a drop or two of lemon essential oil directly onto the stain.
Use the cloth to rub the spot gently with the grain.
Allow to dry and repeat if needed.
Upholstery Stains
Combine the sal suds, vinegar, and hot water in a spray bottle.
Lightly mist onto the stain.
Allow it to sit for five to ten minutes, and then rub it into the stain.
Sprinkle baking soda on the stain and let it sit for another 5 minutes.
Wipe the spot clean as best as you can with a cloth, and then go over it with a hand vacuum. Repeat if necessary.
Wall Stains
Wipe the wall down with a dry cloth to remove any dust.
Mix soap, vinegar, and baking soda into warm water. Stir well.
Wipe the wall gently with the mixture and a soft cloth.
Add lemon essential oil to the cloth as needed for tougher stains.
Dry the wall with a soft, microfiber cloth to avoid water damage and streaks.
Carpet Stains
Apply a small amount of sal suds to the stain. (for easier application, combine equal parts of sal suds and water to a spray bottle, then spray onto the area of concern) Allow it to sit for five to ten minutes and then rub it into the carpet with a clean cloth.
Sprinkle the carpet with baking soda. If using the lavender, stir it into the baking soda before sprinkling it onto the stain. Use 8 drops of lavender for 1/2 a cup of baking soda.
Combine equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle and lightly mist directly on top of the baking soda.
Let it sit for 10 minutes, then work the mixture into the carpet with a dry cloth.
Wipe clean with another dry cloth and vacuum clean. Repeat if needed.
Notes
Always test a small area out of sight first for any adverse effects.
