I found that equal parts water and vinegar and about one and a half tablespoons of dawn work great for carpet spills (and other things). Mine is in a 32 oz bottle so might want to play with the amount of dawn if smaller bottle. Mine ended up looking mostly clear with a few suds on top. I can’t really tell that it has a scent. You may smell some vinegar at first, but it doesn’t tend to linger long at all. Wipes up with no suds.From reading this thread, BTW, thank you, Packy, I see that I need to go through my house, and get rid of a lot of my cleaning products. After reading about the Lysol being harmful to pets, I continued to look at other cleaning products. Many that we use on a regular basis are also harmful. I think I'll stick with rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and white vinegar from now on.
