I usually take simple green diluted in a bucket of water and use a cheap stiff bristle brush I got from the dollar store and scrub away. Carpets look brand new. I know everyones gonna say order all that carpet stuff from the online stores but I don't think my carpets can get any cleaner.

Anyone ever use adams carpet/upholstry cleaner?

Your probably right on. Those other cleaners may get the spots out but really it just rubs the dirt in the carpet. At my detail shop we have a hot water carpet extractor machine, but the process is easy to replicate.

-Spray your carpets with some kind of carpet cleaner...
-Pour a pretty generous amount of hot water onto the floorboard...(Scrubbing with a scrub brush is sometimes necessary)
-Vacum dry with a ShopVac..

Repeat if necessary.

I use the 303 Cleaner and Spot Remover as well for carpet and interior care. It's highly effective and very safe to use. I mist it on the carpets and directly spray stains and let it sit for 1 - 2 minutes. Then agitate them with a medium to firm bristle brush after dunking it in some water, or misting water on the surface (warm or hot water can help as well). Work the brush in multiple different angles for best results and repeat as needed. We have 20% off these products and virtually all of our other products until 5/11/09 if you are interested. Let me know if you have any other questions.
