First, you need to remove any loose dirt or crumbs from your carpet. You can do this by vacuuming the carpet thoroughly. Make sure you cover every corner so that your carpet is ready for the next step.
Now, it’s time to mix up a cleaning solution. You’ll need some water and a mild detergent, like dish soap. Mix them together in a bowl or bucket. This will help you scrub away any stains or dirt stuck in the carpet fibers.

After scrubbing, it’s important to rinse the carpet to remove any soap residue. Use clean water and a cloth to rinse each section. Then, blot the carpet with towels to soak up the extra water. Finally, let the carpet air dry completely before you walk on it again.
