How to Steam Clean your Carpets with Quick 'n Brite

Cleaning your carpets is one great way to make your house look and feel spotlessly clean, especially with the holidays nearing and additional guests in your home! Deep cleaning your carpets with a steam cleaning machine is a great way to remove germs in your house, remove odors and clean set in carpet stains and dirt. However, many people feel steam cleaning their carpets it is too big of an expense to hire a professional and too big of a hassle to do it ourselves. Even renting a steam cleaning machine at your local grocery store can get quite expensive with the multiple cleaning products sold to do one simple job. Instead of purchasing a steam cleaning product, a high traffic cleaner, a pet stain remover, a defoamer and more; you can take the hassle and the expense out of steam cleaning your carpets with Quick 'n Brite by cleaning up to 400 square feet of carpet for less than $2.00 using only Quick 'n Brite! 
First, if you need to pre-treat any carpet stains like pet stains or set-in carpet stains you do not need to purchase a specialty cleaner. Just use Quick 'n Brite paste or liquid full strength and apply cleaner onto stains with a wet terry cloth towel. For high traffic areas or larger areas of carpet that need pre-treated, use the Quick 'n Brite heavy solution. (Mix 2/3 cup of Quick 'n Brite to 1 gallon of water.)
Once you have pre-treated any necessary areas, mix 1 cup of Quick 'n Brite liquid to 5 gallons of HOT water in self contained units or 2/3 cup Quick 'n Brite to 1 gallon of HOT water for units that attach to a faucet. You do not need to add defoamer or spot remover! Then, follow the machine specifications to steam clean your carpets. Using Quick 'n Brite you can save hundreds of dollars cleaning your carpets!

How can I clean the stone around my fireplace? By DIY Expert Danny Lipford

Thanks to our friend Danny Lipford, DIY Home Improvement expert for recommending Quick n Brite to clean fireplace stone, bricks and masonry. Check out his article below!

How to Clean Stone Around a Fireplace

How can I clean the stone around my fireplace? -Valerie


Hi Valerie,

I would stay away from harsh chemical cleaners, since they can leave a flammable residue behind, which is not a good idea around a fireplace! I also wouldn’t use a wire brush when cleaning, since it can damage the stones.

A homemade cleaning recipe for stone that works well is to mix 1/2 to 1 cup of trisodium phosphate (TSP) with one gallon of hot water. Dip a scrub brush in the mixture, then use it to clean the stones. It’s messy, but it usually does the trick.

An easier solution is to use an enzyme cleaner. One that comes highly recommended by our friends at Better Homes and Gardens is called Quick ’n Brite. This is a multi-purpose cleaner that’s environmentally friendly; and, quite frankly, it really works!


Quick ’n Brite enzyme cleaner is available as either a liquid or paste. For cleaning stone around a fireplace, I would definitely use the paste cleaner.

Good luck with your project,

Danny

Product Review: Quick'n Brite Household Cleaner


I found a review online today by a skeptical customer, read on about how she is converted to a Quick 'n Brite user for life! Thanks Holly!


I received my first shipment of Quick'n Brite over seven years ago. My husband had seen an infomercial for it on late-night television and ordered it. I had never heard of Quick'n Brite before, and I was leery of any product that claimed it could clean virtually anything, especially one that advertised on television. Most As Seen on TV products seem too good to be true, and I figured that was the case with Quick'n Brite. I decided to give it a try anyway. I am glad I did!

If you are looking for a safe, all natural household cleaner, than Quick'n Brite is the answer. This As Seen on Television household cleaning product really delivers. Quick'n Brite can be used to clean virtually any household item, from clothes to carpets to dishes. It is an environmentally safe household cleaner that is biodegradable and safe to use around pets and children. This factor especially appealed to me, as I owned two cats at the time. I do not like to use harsh chemicals around animals or children.

My shipment of Quick'n Brite consisted of a spray bottle, a 64 ounce liquid of concentrated cleaner, two sponges and several tubs of Quick'n Brite paste. The 64 ounce concentrated cleaner can be mixed with water to create a regular strength cleaner, and initially I measured out the appropriate amount of cleaning solution to water. The spray bottle came in very handy to use on flat surfaces. I did not use much of the paste according to the directions. The paste is supposed to be good for scrubbing surfaces such as a fireplace, or lifting heavy stains from carpets. I ended up dissolving the paste in water to create a cleaning solution to use in the spray bottle once I had gone through the bottle of concentrated liquid cleaner.


I first tested Quick'n Brite in the bathroom. I tend to use most of the heavy chemical cleaning products in the bathroom, and sometimes the fumes irritate my eyes and lungs. I figured if nothing else, Quick'n Brite would give me a break from the chemical fumes, as Quick'n Brite has virtually no odor. There is a very faint smell to it, such as a sweet, mild plastic smell, but when it's applied to surfaces, even that scent disappears. Quick'n Brite does not make lots of bubbles or foam the way chemical cleaners tend to do, so at first I was concerned that the product was not working, but it made short work of the soap scum and hard water residue in the bathtub and in the sink. It also wiped up cleanly without leaving any streaks or sticky residue behind.

My next test with Quick'n Brite was to try it on a stain on one of my favorite shirts. I used the spray and sprayed a generous amount over a stain that had set into a shirt. I watched the stain literally dissolve into nothing before my very eyes. That was the first moment I began to get my hopes up that Quick'n Brite was the miracle cleaning product I had been looking for.

I quickly tried Quick'n Brite on some carpet stains and had the same results. The stains literally faded away, leaving my light beige carpet spotless. Then I had the bright idea to use Quick'n Brite in the steam cleaner vacuum and it pulled all the dirt out like a magnet, leaving the carpet looking brand new.

Whenever one of the cats had an accident on a carpeted area, I sprayed Quick'n Brite on the area and watched as it lifted the mess out of the carpet fibers. With just a little rubbing with a paper towel, the mess virtually disappeared.

I had the chance to really put Quick'n Brite through its paces one night when a friend accidentally spilled an entire glass of red wine onto our carpet. Mortified at what she had done, my friend offered to pay to have our carpeting replaced. But I told her not to worry as I reached for my spray bottle of Quick'n Brite. About forty-five minutes later, she could not believe her eyes. It was as though she had never spilled a drop of red wine.

Since then, I have used Quick'n Brite in the laundry, in the bathroom, in the kitchen, and virtually in every other room of the house. It has gotten out food stains, make-up stains, cola stains, ink stains, pet accidents, and has been in general a great overall household cleaner. It seems that there is nothing that Quick'n Brite cannot clean. For that reason alone, Quick'n Brite will always be in my cleaning arsenal.
