There are many commercial carpet cleaners that could effectively remove stains. However, these products may contain toxic chemicals that may harm the users. With this, there are non-toxic alternatives that could create safer environment to all household members and reduce pollution indoors. These products are highly beneficial to all household members, most especially those who have a close contact to the floor like children as well as pets. Common non-toxic products include kitchen ingredients that contain no harmful chemicals.

Powdered cleaners that contain non-toxic products like baking soda are effective alternative to commercial chemical solvents, detergents and powders. Baking soda could naturally absorb moisture and odors from the house carpet. This is typically used to remove greasy stains from the carpet. Making it sit for 30 minutes or overnight on the stains is highly effective. After vacuuming it, one could use lavender drops or ground cloves to counteract the odor of the stains.

Spraying non-toxic liquid cleaners to carpet dirts are also effective in cleaning the carpet. These liquid cleaners could be in the form of water and vinegar solution and non-toxic soaps (such as castile soap, vegetable oil-based). Steam cleaning is another non-toxic way of cleaning stains in the carpet. There are specialized vacuum cleaners that utilize pressured and heated vapor to sterilize carpets. Mixture of water and vinegar could be used for steam cleaning.
