Looking for a Good Carpet Cleaner for Old Carpet

I am renting a house with old worn carpets and everything seems to make them look worse. Within 48 hours of cleaning they look as though they've never been cleaned. I have tried dry cleaning, foam, and steam cleaning. Please help.

Go to Home depot or Lowes. Go to the back where they have carpet on rolls. You can get it really cheap. You won't need the padding. Choose berber, it doesn't ravel easily and have a piece cut to the size you need then put it over the bad carpet. You will love it. Don't worry about the edges.

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 14 year old carpets in a mobile home. They are worn and filthy, but I cannot afford to replace them at this point. Please give me your best tips. I don't have a steam cleaner...
