I am looking for a GOOD carpet cleaner. I have tried all the ones sold in the store and even rented a machine and bought the special cleaning fluid for it. I have tried foams, sprays, pre-treats, etc. My carpet is OLD, light blue and is sooo stained in front of the sofa, chairs, and walkway that I can't stand it anymore. PLEASE HELP!

Hello everyone do you know of any specific carpet cleaning PRODUCTS I can use, without spending as lot of money or hiring a cleaner/ one of those steam cleaning machines. The stain has been there for a while just a mixture of spilled drinks and the usual. It would be EXTREMELY helpful if someone could give me a list or a few different things I could use to remove this stain. Thanks everyone!

I learned from a used car dealer that you should spray the area with whatever your favorite cleaner may be(I love the oxy-types). Wait at least 10 minutes, more if possible. Take a nice stiff brush and break up the dirt with a few strokes. Then run the cleaner as normal.
Made a difference for me. Even got ink out before.
I shutter to think what he has had to clean over his career!

I have light carpets, two dogs in training (w/accidents) baby formula spills, grease stains etc. and the only product I have found that cleans all is oxyclean that I mix myself as spot cleaners and use in home carpet cleaners for overall cleaning. Results are great.

I also use a hoover, one of the best carpet cleaners is orange clean! Be careful not to use it too strong as it is very concentrated. On really tough stains, spray and let set a few minutes. Has worked very well for me.

If you have a large chain department store near you, they should sell a product called Spot Shot. It comes in a spray can. The stains disappears before your eyes.

I just cleaned a 17 year old rug with my Hoover Rug cleaner, I used Hoover rug cleaner with Oxyclean and boiling water----run it over at night and came back 4 days later (cause I was sick) and ran the rug cleaner with just clear water back over the whole rug---IT LOOKS AND FEEL GREAT. Hope I helped!

We use a Bissel. It is fairly inexpensive and works well on our 15 year old carpet (4 kids, 2 cats and 1 dog). We had an expensive Kirby but the Bissel works much better.

Try foam shaving cream. The cheap stuff. I had grease stains from when my husband was a diesel mechanic. Scrub in and let set for a little while. Then wipe. Hope it works for you.
