Best Answer

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.

How do you use the shampoo attachment on your Kirby vacuum?

Your vacuum can shampoo carpets using the special tank and head provided because it was designed to perform this task. Make sure to use Kirby's shampoo, I called them about shampoos and they specifically told me to use Kirby shampoo because other shampoos will damage the vacuum. The shampoo is a special dry formula which was also created just for Kirby. To use it, apply the foam, allow it to dry, then vacuum it up with the right attachment.
