Re: Carpet Cleaners

Laundry detergent, mixed in hot water. Use a rag and a scrub brush to work on the stains, have a shop vac around set up for picking up liquids. You may have to go over problem areas a few times, wetting scrubbing, vaccumming. I have had good luck with Tide with color safe bleach. If you don't mind taking it out, 463 is right, the pressure washer will get out all the dirt, with the carpet soaking wet, then use the powdered laundry soap with a scrub brush on the tuff stains. Then pressure wash to remove all the soap residue. Will take a couple of nice sunny days to dry out though.
