Summary: Remove a carpet stain using a carpet cleaning machine and cleaning a carpet by hand.
There are two possible ways to remove stains and stubborn dirt from a carpet. The first involves hiring/using a carpet cleaning machine, the second method is cheaper and easier as it requires you to use a mix of laundry detergent and water. However the second method may not attain the same results as using a carpet cleaning machine.
Rent a carpet cleaning machine. These can be obtained from most equipment hire stores. Choose the machine carefully by deciding which machine is most suitable for the job in hand. Some may be better for larger or smaller stains. Read instructions or ask advice from the hire store. Also purchase the cleaning solution required by the machine.
To create a solution to put on the dirty patch of carpet, we recommend you mix some powder laundry detergent with water. The amount you use is up to you, however you should use common sense and not add too little or too much.
