Instructions
Gather all the necessary cleaning materials in one place to make them accessible and to save time.
Clear the carpet of anything that might get in the way of cleaning. If you have an entire room with flooring completely covered in Berber, I suggest that you take the time to move items such as furniture, plants, and decor to the side or out of the room.
Apply a gentle carpet cleaning solution, either store-bought or homemade. If you plan to use a store-bought cleaner, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully when preparing the solution.
Agitate your Berber carpet using a soft-bristled carpet brush in a circular motion.
Rinse the dirt and cleaning solution residue from your carpet. Use your bucket and sponge and gently blot or wipe your carpet one small section at a time. Make sure not to wet the carpet too much, as excessive moisture can lead to mold or mildew growth.
Dry the Berber carpet completely after deep cleaning. I would personally recommend using a wet/dry vacuum because it can effectively suck up excess moisture from your carpet.
