5 Tips To Clean Your Carpet Like A Pro

[@Nessal83]

Straight to the point, no BS.

[@jenniferfraley1723]

I'm so happy I found this video, after cleaning carpets the wrong way for 20 plus years I followed step by step and it worked like magic and I won't be dreading cleaning my carpets anymore....it was great to have spent 30 mins from start to finish on a carpet rather than hours...Thank you!!

[@HenrikHvalpen]

The wrong way? What did you do?

[@ettajohnson445]

I just saw your video, nine months later, and I was glad I clicked on it. I always vacuum the carpet first and just like many others, I add the soap mixture to the tank, well after seeing your video, I put the cleaner in a sprayer and followed your directions. This not only worked, it cut my cleaning time down and my carpet looks great. Thank you for the tips.

[@CleanThatUp]

Wonderful! Thanks so much for watching!

[@MrMjrob]

I use a separate sprayer too but I use water and a little Clorox Laundry Sanitizer in the machine. The Clorox product is meant for the rinse cycle of a washing machine so it doesn't need rinsing. It kills bacteria and makes the carpet smell great!

[@JosefinaH33]

Great tip ! 😊

[@giselsilva]

I just bought a hoover carpet cleaner machine but I'm confused, why use a separate sprayer if the machine has one?

[@adriancp9957]

​@@giselsilvabecause the sprayer in the vacuum puts down way too much shampoo. It's like dumping a whole bottle of laundry detergent into the washer when you only need a full ounces. Also, using separate sprayer gives the shampoo time to penetrate the carpet before being vacuumed up.

[@giselsilva]

@@adriancp9957 yes, I noticed it when using mine. I use a sprayer now. Thanks!

Thanks so much!

[@HenrikHvalpen]

Destroy it like how?

[@Bamaboompa]

Thank you. First room I did with my Bissell I added recommended soap to the tank. CONSTANTLY having to empty the tank of suds. Then went over it TWO more times to get the soap out. That’s why I’m here and I’ll pre-treat and use the tank for a warm water rinse.

[@floridagirl386]

Just use tide with oxi in the yellow bottle. It's the exact same enzymes as carpet cleaning shampoo, low suds & it actually works better as well as leaves a better scent behind. It's the best smell & not too scenty either

[@toneyo4794]

As a carpet cleaner this is exactly how to clean carpets. These are the steps I take all be it with higher grade equipment and a wider range of cleaners.

[@aaronstaticparallel]

First things first, let's get all your furniture relocated to a different spot in the house. Next, go ahead and open up those windows to let some fresh air in. After that, grab your vacuum and give your carpet a thorough cleaning on the highest setting. Then, spray on some pre-treat to help loosen up the dirt and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Once that's done, it's time to start cleaning your carpet. Finally, use a fan to help dry out your carpet. Happy cleaning!

[@TheFman43]

[@colonelradec5956]

definitely dry it fast. and definitely go over it with just the suction repeatedly till nothing comes out. ive had carpet smell after and had to re shampoo everything cause it dried too slowly.

[@Keithbarber]

I used fairy washing up liquid on a carpet, and it came out just as clean I pre-treated it using a household spray bottle (rinsed out) Before vacuuming, i swept the carpet with a stiff brush to lift the fibres and again after rinsing out

[@newcreation07]

What you should mix in into the clean water tank is a rinse, such as Prochem all fiber rinse, or Prochem all fiber deep clean rinse so that the ph level will be balanced out so that it doesn’t re-soil as quickly.

[@cndla4st]

Not enough years left in my life to use a gallon of this. Do you have an alternative/comparable soap that comes in a smaller size?

[@ladyspicy6840]

Can’t wait to try this method out! Been dealing with pets my whole life and every time I clean the carpets, it doesn’t look so good after and it smelled worse than before

[@saintejeannedarc9460]

If you're dealing w/ pet issues, like vomit, urine or pooping, the Vacuum Wars guy consulted w/ a professional cleaner as well. Hydrogen Peroxide, the strong solution as a pre spray apparently works way better than any of the stain or odour removers he tried. He was testing w/ coyote urine and it got it all out, sometimes w/ some redo for stubborn spots.

[@caylaclanton6074]

You can also use the brush before vacuuming as well. Especially if you lose alot of hair like myself and my daughter and have pets as well.

Will this leave a lasting smell on the carpets?

[@lora1000-t6o]

I love Brandon's vids and followed the directions to a T. Brandon, do you add water into the solution tank, leave it empty, or something else? For anyone who buys the Hoover Smartwash: know that it can be incredibly finicky with it's in 'dry mode' setting, whether it's 'dry only' or the normal dry mode. As in, it will say it's in dry mode, but the device won't suck anything up. I've had to turn it off and on many times to get it to do what it says it's doing. Be careful!

[@anonymousreviewer1257]

I see you added carpet cleaner from the spray pump but that machine has a canister in the back that you’re supposed to add solution to. Does that stay empty in that case?
