If you opt to clean your carpets yourself, you can do it by renting a steam cleaner or buying one. If you rent one, make sure you understand how to use it and only use the recommended cleaner for it. They can be very expensive so you don’t want to have to replace one if it breaks.

For cleaning yourself with your own steamer, you can do it with commercial cleaners or make your own. If you opt to make your own, a good one is this carpet cleaner recipe from Happy Money Saver. If you prefer a natural carpet cleaner Apartment Therapy has one.

Make sure you vacuum very well before you clean your carpets. This is vital for getting your carpets extra clean and keeping dirt from becoming embedded or tearing up carpet fibers.
