How do I clean carpet without a machine?

Question by Peter J: How do I clean carpet without a machine?
I just moved into an apartment that has really dirty carpet in the living room. I’m too poor to get it professionally cleaned or to rent or buy a machine. Is there any really cheap way to clean it myself without a steam cleaner machine?

Answer by Claire
I have actually used a tiny amount of laundry powder dissolved in a bucket of warm water and scrubbed my carpet, and that cleaned some stains out. It’s probably not recommended for woollen carpets, but it did the job on mine when my son vomited on it.

Question by : Best carpet cleaner to clean out dog accidents?
My little dog peed on our carpet in the middle of our potty training, and no matter what I use it won’t come out. It’s turned into a giant yellow stain, and it of course stinks. Anyone know of the best carpet shampoo to remove pet potty marks without it being terribly expensive?
She only peed once, but thanks for shredding me and basically calling me insane for “letting” her pee. Wow.

I had the same problem. So I went to Wal-Mart and they had a small hand held carpet cleaner for auto’s and small tight spots. It was about $ 50.00 but there are other models you can choose from.

What is something you can place on carpet to keep heavy traffic areas clean?

Question by Happy Girl: What is something you can place on carpet to keep heavy traffic areas clean?
We just cleaned our carpets. It was a horrible pain, but now I am obsessed with keeping those high traffic areas clean. There will be a no shoes policy, but we do have a dog, and just people around will get a (whitish) carpet dirty. Any ideas?

Best answer:

Answer by Irene F
My mom was obsessed with keeping her white carpet clean. She got rolls of plastic and laid them down. I don’t know where she got them; maybe a carpet store.

That’s why I turned against wall-to-wall carpeting and have had wooden floors in all the homes we bought.

How can I clean my carpet before I move out?

Question by Ping R: How can I clean my carpet before I move out?
We are moving out of an apartment. I am thinking cleaning up the carpet to avoid deposition deduction. The carpet is light color and has some stains on it. I wonder what is a good way to do it. Is it a good idea to rent some tools to clean it? Or to hire some people to do it? Thanks for answering.

Answer by fatladysingsone
It depends on how much work you want to put into it and how much time you have to do it. It takes a lot of time to do it yourself if you do a good job. The Rug Doctor rental is the best if you decide to do it yourself. The products they sell are pretty good but be aware that some stains just don’t come out. Things like wine or red jello, red Kool-aid.
Some professionals are reliable and some are not. If you decide to hire someone to do it check with the Better Business Bureau to see if they have any complaints against them. Ask around and see if some of your friends or neighbors can recommend some one that has done a good job for them. Some places do not allow you to clean the carpet yourself so check your rental agreement.

Question by ¡quésuerte!: How do you give a carpet a really good clean?
Years of grime and food have caused the kids’ bedroom carpets to look worse for wear. Some food has even caused the carpet to become matted together in some parts. How would I clean this as I tried with standard stain remover and it didn’t do a thing?!

Many thanks in advance!
