Are you asking about machine rental,suggestions for companies,spot cleaners,high traffic areas,home solutions,buying a machine to do this yourself-which is best????No matter what you use the key is to get all soap residue out left over soap residue actually attracts dirt so Rinse Rinse Rinse.

You should have your carpets cleaned once a year professionally for longer wear. For in between cleanings, purchase a home machine. I just use vinegar in mine.

Make your own carpet cleaner.

• Warm water
• 1 cup rubbing alcohol
• 1 capful Lysol concentrate disinfectant
• White vinegar

Fill the water reservoir about halfway full with clean, warm water.

Pour the rubbing alcohol and Lysol concentrate into the reservoir too.

Finally, fill the remaining space in the tank with white vinegar. (Make sure to stop at the “fill here” line to make sure you don’t overfill the tank.)

Put the tank in place on your machine, and clean your carpets according to the instructions provided with your machine.

The cleaning solution will dissolve dirt, erase stains, and eliminate germs, leaving your carpet softer and cleaner than you even knew it could be!

Rinse the reservoir out when you are done.
