Vinegar is Completely Safe
Plain white vinegar is an amazing natural cleanser and is quite possibly the most versatile all-purpose cleaner that you could ever use. Besides cleaning counter tops, sinks, toilets, and the inside of the microwave, you can successfully clean carpet with vinegar. As a natural deodorizing agent, vinegar freshens carpets by removing stale odors from age, food and pet accidents, as well as any mustiness left from excess liquid of any kind.
