Cleaning Your Carpet (Without a Carpet Cleaner)

You can get your carpets "company-ready" without a carpet cleaner or a lot of effort with just a few simple tools. This will save you so much time and money, and you don't have to wait hours for it to dry! I use this method to make my carpet look brand-new even though it's over 6 years old.
Here's what you'll need:
Vacuum

Carpet Rake
(buy this at Home Depot or any home improvement store for around $10)

Brush with a Handle or Sponge Mop
(Walmart)

Carpet Cleaning Foam
(Bissell is 1/2 the price of Resolve where I live but you can use any brand)

If you have pet stains you'll also need this:

Here is what the carpet looked like prior to cleaning. I removed most of the furniture. It's actually worse than the pic shows. It is somewhat matted and has some pet stains. (Click on it to enlarge)
First, vacuum your carpet thoroughly, use an attachment if you have one to get along the wall. I started out only doing half of the room so that I could show the difference.

If you have pet stains, spray the pet stain remover on them heavily enough to saturate, blot, and brush in.
Here's what mine looked like before starting:
And the same spot after the entire process:


Starting at a far corner,spray a light mist of cleaner to about a 2ft x 3ft section. Use a slightly heavier spray on stains.
After the spray has set for a minute, use the brush (or sponge mop) to somewhat gently rub it into the carpet. You don't want to be too harsh, but you want to make sure that it's getting into the fibers. Go in at least 2 directions. Then simply move on to the next section until your entire room has been sprayed and brushed in.

It will probably look something like the left side of this pic
Now let the carpet dry. It will take around 15 minutes to 1/2 hour depending on how heavy you sprayed. Once dry, vacuum again.
Now, start back at the far corner and rake. You want to make sure that you're only pulling the rake toward you, (not too hard), and only pulling back about a foot or less at a time. Go across the back and continue in this back and forth manner until you get to the end of the room.

(for some reason the camera decided to make the color funky
in this one, but you can still see the difference)



It took me about an hour to do the entire room and look at the difference!
(click to enlarge)
This is something that probably shouldn't be done more than
once every three months and I would still recommend having carpets cleaned professionally about once every 1-2 years.

  2. You carpet looks clean and neat. Looking at the before and after pictures, I can see a big improvement. The color looks lighter, and the stains have disappeared. Good job! Cleaning carpets can be difficult at times, especially if there are a lot of stains on it. But with the help of your trusted vacuum, cleaning detergents, and your perseverance, it can look as good as new!

  4. Good suggestion! But for people who are busy all the time from work, it is inevitable to hire a carpet cleaning company. But, what’s great about some carpet cleaning companies is that, once you become a regular customer, they will let you do the cleaning yourself. You can just ask for their instructions over the phone. Saves you money for the service, right?

  5. A dirty carpet is usually one of the major problems of homeowners. DIY cleaning is quite challenging, especially if the carpet is already old. That is why I agree with you that it is still important that you let a professional clean your carpet at least once a year, even though you do a bit of cleaning yourself. This will lengthen the life of your carpet and make it seem new again.

  11. A home or even an office carpet has to be vacuum-cleaned at least twice a week to keep the dirt and dust off your floor. But aside from the regular do-it-yourself carpet cleaning methods, you also have to make sure that a specialist will perform their regular cleaning strategies not just to keep off the dirt, but also to make sure that the carpet will be at its perfect condition even after the years. Despite all your efforts, it is not enough to just use over the counter cleaning agents for your carpet. There is still a proper way of cleaning them, and the professionals know how to handle your carpets with care.

  79. Carpet steam cleaning, also known as hot water extraction, is the preferred method for deep cleaning carpets because of its ability to remove stubborn stains and embedded dirt. Steam cleaning machines blast your carpet with hot water and then use powerful suction to remove loosened dirt and excess moisture, leaving your carpet feeling and smelling fresh and clean. Here are some tips if you are considering deep steam cleaning your carpets. While carpet steam cleaning is recommended by most carpet manufacturers, you should still consult with your carpet’s manufacturer to ensure that steam cleaning is safe and will not adversely affect your carpet’s fibers, dyes, and construction. To achieve the best results, hire a professional to steam clean your carpets. A reputable carpet cleaning business can offer a guarantee that your carpets will be cleaned safely and effectively without any damage. Look for a company that is certified and uses Seal of Approval products and equipment, which have been tested to ensure high quality treatment. If you have pet urine stains, it is important to thoroughly clean and remove the stains before proceeding with carpet steam cleaning. Steam cleaning is not recommended for pet stains, since hot water can cause the crystals in your pet’s urine to bond to your carpet’s fibers, creating permanent stains and odors.

  124. I didn't know that you could get your carpet so clean by yourself. We usually get our carpets cleaned once a year. It would be interesting to try and do it ourselves this year. Thanks for sharing. http://kccarpetandupholsterycleaners.com/services/

  130. I have never even heard of these tools before! It sounds like I need to get myself a carpet rake. Your carpet looks so amazing! With three kids, and two dogs, you can only imagine how stained my carpets are. I would love to spend an afternoon doing this, so that my carpets could look that amazing!
