Straight to the point, no BS.
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!!
The wrong way? What did you do?
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.
Wonderful! Thanks so much for watching!
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!
Great tip ! 😊
I just bought a hoover carpet cleaner machine but I'm confused, why use a separate sprayer if the machine has one?
@@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.
@@adriancp9957 yes, I noticed it when using mine. I use a sprayer now. Thanks!
Thanks, I wasn't sure if the chemicals would react or not. ❤
I'm gonna have to get one of those rake looking things! That looks so satisfying! I JUST cleaned my carpet this evening in my house and am SO proud of myself as it looks absolutely spectacular!!!!
As another professional carpet cleaner, great tips! These are the exact tips we would have said as well :)
Thanks for watching! 👍
@@CleanThatUp use virtual hug subliminal FREE CLEAN
I know this was 8 months ago but as a professional carpet cleaner can you tell me if it’s possible to get a kool aid stain off carpet
@@reannavaladez3290 most likely no. What color is the carpet/stain? How long ago did it happen and have your already tried cleaning it?
@@independentRestorationServices they are red from fruit punch kool aid, I’ve tried a few of the stains but they don’t really come out with my Hoover spot cleaner. They are few months old
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.
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
@@floridagirl386 are you sure?
@@jonburrows2684 I'm absolutely positive. Try it out
@jonburrows2684 did u try it?
@@floridagirl386 do u apply it with the sprayer as well?
Your carpet cleaning tips have gone the Stanley Steemer seal of approval. It's so satisfying to see someone who actually knows how to clean a carpet and not completely destroy it.
Thanks so much!
Destroy it like how?
Please keep on posting your videos. This method really worked well for a stain on my rug. I tried 4 other products before this one.
Now the pre-treat! That i would have never thought of! Thank you
This was the easiest to follow videos I’ve ever seen on using one of those carpet cleaners! I’ve been doing it wrong all these years. Thanks for the tips!
That’s wonderful to hear, Thanks so much for watching!
Fantastic tips! Tried these on my carpet and it looks brand new. Thanks for sharing!
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.
This is a perfect step-by-step video. I’ll be bookmarking it.
Thank you! 🙌
Subscribed, clear, to the point, entertaining. This video is a blueprint for how videos like this shoul dbe made.
I have this Hoover Smartwash and I use it exactly as you have described here. It does an awesome job!
@@carolina-thats-a-me I have had my SmartWash for about 5 years. It is a really great machine, cleans well and I love the dry only feature.
I love this video ...and you got to the point without all the chatter YEA!!!!!
best clear spoken In structures..like his 'step' method of In structions
Thank you! I tried this and I was surprised at just how much cleaner my carpet was than when I did it by putting water and soap in the tank of my carpet cleaner!
Thank you so much for showing us the correct way to clean a carpet.
So I'm looking at videos to best clean my carpet with my brand new Hover Smartwash and came across yours. THANK YOU! The carpet doesn't dry 100%. It didn't occur to me that turning the temp up, a ceiling fan or opening a window would help. You've also convinced me that I NEED a carpet rake. I'm subscribed and super excited what else I'm going to learn from your videos!
thanks for watching and welcome to the channel!!
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.
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.
Excellent video! Thank you! I've been doing things the hard way. 😣 I wish I'd known all this 25 years ago!!
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
Thank you so much for these tips. Wish I had them when I used to clean my mother’s house 😂😂😂 I’d have been done in a jiffy 😂. Now I moved into a carpeted place and I was like oh gosh! But these tips will help. Off to buy the carpet cleaning machine thing 😅
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.
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!
Omgosh baby Brandon!! You grew up so much in 2 years!!
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
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.
Thank you. You’re video will save my carpets 🙏
Awesome video!! Packed so many points in two minutes.
Thanks for all your tips for carpet cleaning.
Awesome video bro !! I never have watched cleaning videos before and this was super entertaining haha !! Cant wait to see your progress throughout the CREATOR now program !! Let’s GOOOO TEAM 8
Thanks so much Andrew! Let’s go team GR8!
Thank you for another great video!! Im trying to shampoo the floorboards in my car and this had some tips ill be using!
Awesome Video! How did you know I was going to clean my carpets? Perfect Timing!
It’s that time of year! Kids go back to school and it’s time to clean up the house. 😆
@@CleanThatUp Exactly! Now that the Kids are back in school time to do some serious cleaning!
Helpful and concise. Great video!
This is awesome and can't wait to try it. Thank you! Would a Zep cleaner work as well? I'm on a budget. Thank you!
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?
I wish you showed the water after you cleaned the carpet. Still a great video though.👍
Chocolate milk/ waste water 💦
I actually was planning on filming it and I forgot... 😭
@@Cynthia-qo9wu Yes!!🙌😂
Yes. We're crazy like that.😁
New sub from the UK love it!
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?
I was just about to ask the same question.
He said you spray the carpet to let it sit in the carpet to work. Only use the actual carpet cleaning machine to rinse.
@@carnavs if you are not pressing on the button for the soap to come out does that mean its rinsing or is it just pulling the water up?
I have a home bissell machine and despite its lack of complexity I have no idea what Im doing w it
@@ThingsILove2266 You would still press the button to dispense the water which is essentially rinsing it
Excellent video , I like the climax.. sleeping and rolling on the carpet 👌 👍
the pre-treat and only use water in the tank is a game changer 👍
it really does make all of the difference in the world :)
I did not know you shouldn't put soap in the water tank! Thank you!
Absolutely Great video thanks! Advice please....my carpet has been washed several times with soapy solution ,dried and vacuumed....now very dirty....how do I get the previous soap out first , so that I can then use your method of cleaning? Really need your help as the house has just been painted and there is a lot of mess. Thanks in advance 😊
Thanks so much for the kind words! So I would recommend just flushing with warm water a few times to remove the soap residue. I would finish with the method in this video. :)
@@CleanThatUp Thanks a lot for your reply...much appreciated!
My mom had a grooming rake and I've been looking for one for years. My friends all go. A what? A carpet rake. Yes. And yes I can see how they would be addictive
Thank you for the video. Basically I gotta hire someone to come clean my carpet
Quick question how often should you deep clean your carpets?
From my proffessional cleaner, I was reccomended once a year but if you have alot of pets and have people walking with shoes on them, Id probably do it once every three months if you can afford to do so
To pretreat a carpet I just open that spot cleaning attachment hose door (I use a bissell proheat 2x revolution pet) and run the cleaner with it open, it’s gonna spray the solution and rub it into the carpet but won’t suck it back. Spray pump looks easier though if there’s one around
Thank you for this! Greatly appreciated!!
What ratio of carpet cleaner to water goes in the pump up sprayer ? I'm new to this. Thank you.
THIS. VIDEO. WAS. AWESOME! 🎉
I use the pet purple ball dyson vacuum… I will vacuum twice going each direction and I still get TONS of animal hair up if I use an uproot clean rake. Should I use that rake on my carpets too prior to deep cleaning them?
I thought I was getting a good pet vacuum, but I guess not 😢
Great job! Any tips of how you clean wool and leather rugs? 😊
Kitchen ceiling board cleaning hacks please
This was really helpful. Thank you. My carpet is looking a hot mess right now, and really needs some help. Can i ask you the brand of vacuum cleaner you used here please? Or else could you recommend a really good one? And what do you think of the Shark hoovers that also allow you to clean your carpet? I've been meaning to get one for a while, but have no idea which one is worth buying. Thanks in advance. Getting tired of sweeping up daily. 🙄
It’s in the description. Tap on the ‘more’ after the title.
I have older carpet and it has stains. I did have a smaller Bissell unit to clean animal stains until I realized the Bissell and its recommended soap were actually taking color off of my carpet. Until I am able to get another carpet (or figure out if I can afford to re-finish the hardwoods below). Does this procedure remove stains? Or do I need to treat those stains separately. I enjoyed the video. 🤩😍😍
What's better steam cleaning or shampooing carpets like you did??
Great video. Also with the right make-up you would make an excellent Joker.
Can you use the carpet groomer to make patterns in the carpet? I think I'd be hilarious to make a Zen garden with carpet
I like that, I'll also need is a huge rock in the center of the room! 😄
is the shampoo also antibacterial? how often do we need to clean the carpet/sofa from bacteria?
Would’ve loved to have seen the CRB on that carpet 😍🤩💯
I love using a crb on frieze carpet, so satisfying! Using / buying one is like SUPER pro tips :)
How often should I be cleaning my carpet like this? We just have two area rugs in our living room that get the most traffic because we live in a small space and our living room is also next to the front door.
How much carpet cleaner do you usually use for 1 or 2 gallon sprayer?
I like pre treat idea and useing to he vac to rinse.
If I use the Carpet Raking Tool, can I keep my carpet fluffy? I just moved to my brand new home 5 months ago
How often do you think the carpet in a fully carpeted home needs to be deep cleaned like this? We just moved in and I’ve never had carpet before. We have no kids, no dogs, and don’t wear shoes in the house.
This was exactly what I was hoping to learn thanks for the awesome content 🙂
Did all of this the last two days never seen this vid before. Also use a carpet rake to work pre spray into the carpet fibers before using the shampooer then again at the end for quicker dry time
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!
Excellent video as always!
PS: Prochem Ultrapac Trafficlean --- 2 years ago at $42...today at $57. Oh well!
I live with someone who is filthy with no hygiene. The stench from their bedroom is horrible. I try and clean my room, vacume etc but notice that when ive been away for a night or two, i find my bedroom smells as hideous as walking past my housemates room. The same musty smell i find with my hair as well which is hard to manage given the texture beong afro i can only wash once a week/fortnight
Any solution recommendations for dog and cat urine to clean carpets? Also, my carpet has a waterproof backing (H2O brand) and wondered if same cleaning tips apply?
Hey Belinda! Those are great pads and wont effect the cleaning. For the pet spots I really like using a product called Un-Duz-It unleshed for pet spots. It will breakdown the spot and odor. Depending on how bad the spots are you can sometimes just use this cleaner the same way I mentioned in this vid with a pump up sprayer. Now if you can seem to get the spot or odor out I would suggest trying the method in the linked here. ruclips.net/user/shortsUYEfR8iDHu4?feature=share
@@CleanThatUp thank you for the info
@@belindavanowen1990 very strong restore objectd dubliminal
Any other suggestions for alternative pre soaks as the one in the video is out of stock? Ever used vinegar?
Vinegar can actually be used with warm water in the fresh water tank of your machine, & it brings the ph of the carpet down while also conditioning and helping to flush out excess cleanser.
Hi,I've just received the prochem traffic clean.Could you please let me know how much water and how much solution to add in a 5 l pressure water sprayer ?
Hello, your videos are so much helpful. I'm just wondering if there's an alternative way to clean/disinfect the carpet without a machine? I can't afford buying one and I only use a standard vacuum that they have here where I'm renting now. Thanks and more power to your channel.
Excellent tips thanks !
Do you use the button when pushing forward or pulling back?
Where have you been ALL my life!!! I so needed this video. Thank you 😊. What is the name of the fan that you specifically used in the video?
Wow you need a carpet vacuum machine to clean your carpet what a shocker :D
Please do one with berber carpet! My apartment carpet is so nasty no matter how much I clean it!
Can I use these tips to clean a carpet that has some pet odor issues? In particular, urine? I was told that I shouldn’t steam clean areas that had residual pet urine in them. Something about the steam acting as a setting agent for the urine. I have spot cleaned the areas with a spray carpet cleaner and sponge, but I have a dog with incontinence issues and I would like to give the carpet a through cleaning to get any spots I have missed or that have build-up.
If I can’t clean my carpets with soap and steam, do you have any tips for how to clean a carpet with odor issues? Thanks! Love your videos!
There are enzyme sprays made specifically for pet pee that neutralize urine. They claim to be safe and nontoxic. Worth a look. Maybe look at farm stores, as they use enzyme sprays in chicken coops to neutralize stink, as well as kill mites (mites are also in our homes...) I'm looking into this myself; I have an asthmatic cat and I need to find a way to keep dust mites seriously in check. I'm thinking to use enzyme spray in the pump sprayer at least weekly in the house. Good luck!
So I'm in a house where the carpet has never been cleaned (To my knowledge at least) since it's never been done and it looks like it is from 15 years ago....should i use some kind of agitator after applying the cleaner or just go over it like 7 times? lol
Hey - if it's difficult to get hold of ProChem Ultrapac Trafficlean, do you have an alternative you'd suggest?
Bro, how'd you get me envying your carpet brush? HAHAHA. Well presented. Thanks for making this.
Glad you liked it!
Have you ever compared the Hoover to the Bissell 3670F Steam cleaner?
I just saw one of your tik Tok videos and so I subscribed on that page and then I went to RUclips and this video here is the only video I see and it was from 6 months ago, so my question is do you make regular RUclips videos or do you JUST make Tictoc videos?
Nice job by the way!
More long form how to vids coming soon 🙂
great video very professional
If anyone can answer . Did he say spray cleaning mixture on floor , let it sit for 5min than only use water it carpet cleaner to rinse carpet ? Never put cleaner In the carpet cleaner machine . Tyvm great video liked and sub
Correct.
Tyvm
Great tips, nicely presented.
so prespay with prochem. then add prochem solution to my hoover (the wash container side, separate from the water container), and clean with the hoover as normal...or just add water and no wash solution, and basically rinse the carpet with the hoover since I already presprayed
Just water in the Hoover. The goal is to rinse out the pretreat
Do you use warm water for pre-treatment phase combined with cleaning solution?
I have a Hoover SmartWash as well. I noticed in your video that you did not put any of the carpet cleaner (shampoo) in the solution reservoir at the back of the machine. Is this correct?
Correct! I like to keep just water in my machine. This helps to completely remove all cleaner from the carpet much easier.
Would this work well on Cod liver oil? I went to bed with a tablet in my pocket.... DOH!! I cleaned the mattress poorly with fairy liquid and a sponge.. DOH!! Now it has seeped through onto the bottom to the carpet ARGH!! Its been like it for awhile now as I thought I did a better job at the time OMG!!
is this ok to do in a rental? how much is everything together?
Very good carpet cleaning tips ! That carpet cleaning mix, it won’t leave any residue in the carpet?
You can see very little is soap is sprayed on the carpet and I thoroughly flush it out with water from the machine.😄
Everything , you explained in the video is good info for a consumer and you did a great job explaining how they can clean carpets a lot of what you showed is how a pro cleans carpet. Ultra pac has a ph of 9.5 and is not a self neutralizing product and will leave residues in the carpet by just rinsing with water is not enough to remove the product.
@@jv8493 Is there a better alternative?
Yes , ultra pack needs to be neutralized by an acid rinse to bring the ph of the carpet back down to as close to neutral as possible and remove residues from the ultra pack. By skipping this step the carpet will re-soil rapidly water alone can not bring the ph of ultra pacs 9.5 down to 7 which is neutral. This is why you higher a professional because they have the machines and tools to properly flush the carpet fibers. Certain acids in a home Bissell steam cleaner will damage the tool.
Is there any other carpet cleaner you recommend if you don’t have space to store that big jug of cleaner that comes in a smaller bottle?
Awesome!! Very helpful.
Will this leave a lasting smell on the carpets?
