Does shampoo dissolve in water?

Yes, shampoo dissolves in water because it is formulated with surfactants, which are compounds that reduce surface tension and allow the shampoo to mix with water. When shampoo is added to water, it forms a solution, enabling it to spread and effectively clean hair and scalp by removing dirt and oils. However, the degree of solubility can vary depending on the specific ingredients in the shampoo.


Will water and vinegar solution remove shampoo from carpet?

Apparently so. I've been trying to find a better (and cheaper) cleaning solution for my new Bissell carpet cleaner, and water and vinegar comes up time and time again. The wetting of the carpet will allow the shampoo to dissolve again, and blotting out, or drawing out with the carpet cleaner should remove any shampoo in there. I suppose how quickly and completely depends on how much is in there. If the shampoo was alkaline based, then the vinegar will help draw it out (as vinegar is an acid). If not, then I guess it will take a bit longer to effectively rinse it out. I'm going to try this on the car seats, as the "valet" the last owner had done has left lots of shampoo in. More shampoo does not equal cleaner!
