If you prefer the DIY route or don't have a Universal Cleaner handy, here's the complete step-by-step process to clean a carpet effectively at home.
Step-by-Step Guide
Clear the Area
Remove all furniture from the carpeted area. Vacuum thoroughly to remove loose dirt and debris.
Prepare Cleaning Solution
Mix 1 cup of white vinegar, 2 cups of warm water, 2 tbsp of dish soap, and 2 tbsp of fabric softener.
Test in Hidden Area
Apply solution to a hidden corner and wait 10 minutes. Check for color bleeding or damage before proceeding.
Apply Solution
Pour solution into a spray bottle. Spray sections of carpet and scrub with a stiff brush in multiple directions.
Let It Sit
Allow the cleaning solution to work for 15-20 minutes. Don't let it dry completely.
Blot and Rinse
Blot with clean towels to absorb dirty water. Spray with plain water and blot again to rinse.
Dry Completely
Open windows, use fans, or run AC to speed drying. Carpet should be completely dry within 24 hours.
Pro Tips
- Never rub carpet stains - always blot from outside in
- For pet odors, use enzyme cleaners specifically designed for pet stains
- Professional deep cleaning once a year extends carpet life
