    Carpet and upholstery

    How does everybody go about cleaning their carpets and seats etc. If you dont own a extractor or steam cleaner?

    Re: Carpet and upholstery

    Im guessing no responses means go out and buy a extractor or steam cleaner lol.. I have my own method with cleaners, brushes and a nice vac but i was just curious how others may go about it.

    You don't have to have them but they will make some jobs quicker and/or easier. I don't use either. Just brushes, vac, towels, and some good cleaners that don't leave residue behind.

    I like Chemical Guys Fabric clean. I pre-clean with vacuum and brush. I next lightly dampen the carpet with plain warm tap water and 20:1 Fabric Clean. I agitate with both brushes and white cotton terry cloth towels. I vacuum and repeat. Using the terry cloth to absorb as much water as possible. For spot cleaning and very light soiling this method works very well.

    I like to spray on a cleaner or shampoo and then scrub with my carpet brush hooked up to my GG6. Makes carpet cleaning super quick, easy, and effective

    I vacuum, use my pc when needed, Megs APC on some spots and steam. You can get decent inexpensive steamers. I don't own an extractor.
