Best carpet cleaning products?

[killrflake]

Looking to buy a carpet cleaning product that works well by hand. I'm sure steam machines and extracters do the best job, but just seems like to much money to spend when I don't do detailing for a business.

Folex has worked good for me when I'm doing it by hand. You can get it at Target for like $4 or so. You could also get a Little Green Clean Machine and use it for you auto needs. I've been using that for a year or so. Leaves the interior a little damp, but it does a decent cleaning job and beats doing it all by hand. You can usually find it on sale for like $60 or so.

Woolite diluted 8:1 on carpet mats, and DP total interior cleaner for all other carpet. Ive youve got a pressure washer then use that on the carpet mats, otherwise just hose them down realllllllllllly good until no more soap is coming out. DP total interior cleaner is used on other carpet because I dont have an extractor or anything. So it drys up really nice, doesnt leave any soapy feeling.

Folex works great! Lowe's has it for around $7.00 for 32oz and $16.00 for the gallon. Needs no scrubbing or pre-treating, even, though I recommen to do so. Working right now with it and it's doing wonders so far!

I really like Meguiar's APC+ for this purpose.

APC+ 10:1 for general carpet cleaning and Folex for tough spot stains is what I use.
