Homemade dry foam shampoo for kirby

Submitted by Debbie

I have a Kirby vacuum/shampooer and have not been able to afford any shampoo for it. I have searched the internet for a couple of years now to try and find a recipe where I could make my own. Yesterday I found one and I would just like to share it. It works just as good if not better than the Kirby dry foam shampoo. Please test a small area first. (This recipe is for shampooers that use dry foam cleaner)

Mix all ingredients in a large bucket then lightly stir to mix. Add the WATER first to cut down on all the bubbles.

3 quarts WATER
3 Tbs DISHSOAP
1 Tbs WHITE VINEGAR
1/2 tsp AMMONIA

If you have any stubborn spots you can pre-treat with any window cleaner.

works great Comments By: John R I tried this mixture, and it works just as good if not better than the Kirby brand stuff, for a fraction of the price. THANK YOU DEBBIE !!   i will try today Comments By: Imus Im going to try this mixture out and see how well it works, I used to work for Kirby and I'm pretty much hooked on the Kirby brand shampoo. I hope this works as I can't afford shampoo atm
