Step 5 · Clean the Carpet

Using your selected cleaning method (e.g., carpet shampooer, steam cleaner, or by hand with a brush and solution), apply the cleaning solution to the carpet. Work in small, manageable sections. For shampooing, apply the foam and agitate with a carpet brush. For steam cleaners or extractors, follow the machine's operation instructions, typically involving dispensing the solution and then extracting it. Ensure even coverage.
