What tools do you have?
Hot water extractor? Shop Vacuum?

Maybe as far as products you can use APC/APC+ because it looks like you would have to use a lot of it and it comes in big sizes and you can test to see what dilution rate it works in this situation.

Doesn't look very bad, a hot water extractor should be able to take care of that, if you have one.

I don't have one, how much do they cost?

Re: Help with cleaning carpet.

Hot water extractor and some APC+ will take care of this for you.

Different models of extractors are available. There's a cheaper model you can get from Target(I have one, but can't remember the name of it). This will probably work ok. Not great but ok. They run about $80.

We also have a Myte HP60, this will definately take care of the carpet with some APC+. But this machine runs a little over $1k.

I think the cheap one from Target is a Little Green Cleaning Machine or something along those lines. APC works great for the carpets. Also, check out folex at Home Depot, it is suppose to be very good for cleaning carpets also.

I had the same problem with a client a while back. He smoked, a lot, and never cleaned the inside of his car, his carpets were filthy and i didn't have APC or an extractor. I got a bucket of hot water and soap and scrubbed, hard. It took some more effort but it got the job done, just make sure you do it early on so it has time to dry.

Yup, I have a LGM (little green machine) that I picked up from WalMart for around $80. Mine is the pro heat model (theres a cheaper version that is around $60 that does not have heat) Its not the best in the world, but for $80 it does a good job for me.
