This isn't really homemade, but it's cheaper than carpet cleaners and oxy clean......I'm not sure that this will work with all of the homemade glass cleaners, but I splurge on Windex because I use it to clean everything. This is what made me a believer: I spilled a whole bottle of barn red nail polish on my very light beige carpet. Yes, I should have known better than to paint my nails in on the carpet, and now, believe me, I do. BUT I looked online for ways to get nail polish out of the carpet, and Windex was mentioned more than anything else. So I thought to myself, "What the hell, there's a bright red spot about 3'x2' in the middle of the floor, this can't make it any worse." AND IT WORKED. It took about a half of a bottle (this spot was huge) but every bit of it came out. You can't even see it, my husband didn't notice it when he got home, and even when I told him, he couldn't see it! (I wasn't even going to tell him, but I felt guilty) Ever since then I have used it on everything I get on the carpet, it works great - mud, dog poo (don't ask!), diet soda, nail polish.... It worked better than oxy clean for me. It didn't bleach out my carpet like Spot Shot and Resolve did. You may want to test it on a hidden area if you're going to try it though, carpets are all different. I just spray and blot with a paper towel until it's gone. Sorry this post was so long, but my excitement from getting that stain out came back when I started typing this story :D
