Stanley Steemer + Interior Carpet = ...

[llll1l1ll]

Well, a bunch of brake fluid leaked all over the carpet thanks to a leaky CMC. I was wondering if I used a carpet shampooer thing, would I be able to clean it up? I could just use a brick and some paper towels/newspaper and have all the fluid soaked up; however, the leak was long and persistent, so some of this carpet is pretty ragged.

Are there any other methods for getting the carpeting a little more clean?

Pull it out, scrub the shit out of it (twice), then pressure wash it and let it dry in the sun.

Seriously this is the BEST way to do it right.

I might just rent a Rug Doctor from the Food Lion down the street.

That won't mess it up, will it?

Time is sort of an issue, being a college kid and all...

You won't be able to get the handtool in there very well.

Hmm... Well, it's worth a shot... And when not, then, well... Shit.
