Spring time!
Spring time!

Get your carpet really clean!

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Carpet shampooer, Oxi clean, scrub brush, vinegar.
  1. Step 1

    If you dont own a shampooer you can rent one. They are a must for carpet cleaning. I own a little Bissel but I live in a fifth wheel trailor and not much area to cover.

  2. Step 2

    The best thing I have found to mix in your hot water is Oxi Clean. You will also need a bucket of warm water also with Oxi Clean in it and a scrub brush.

  3. Step 3

    Start shampooing the carpet in sections then go back and scrub the spots that remain with the brush and Oxi Clean solution. Then go back over with the shampooer.

  4. Step 4

    If you have pet urine problems add some vinegar to the cleaning solution. The vinegar smell will fade as the carpet dries. Another thing you might want to do a test spot to make sure you are not harming the color of your carpet. Just to be sure.
