Carpet shampooing is a very popular method used to clean carpets. This method uses a lot of foam generated by a shampoo. This foam is allowed to dry, and the resulting residue is left on for a day. The residue and the soil particles that it has attracted are vacuum cleaned the next day. Carpet shampooing is done using any two processes cylindrical foam and rotary shampoo. Good quality carpet shampoos must have very high foam levels to reduce wetting, very stable foam, high lubricity to reduce damage to the carpet fibers from the brushes and the ability to dry to a non-sticky residue.

The other popularly used carpet cleaning method is often called dry cleaning. It uses a dry absorbent compound that contains containing small amounts of water, detergent, and solvent. This compound is sprinkled over the carpet or worked into the carpet with a machine. The liquids in the solvent dissolve the dirt particles. This is then absorbed into the carrier and then vacuumed up.

Steam extraction or hot water extraction is the cleaning method classified as deep cleaning. All other methods leave a lot of residue in the carpet after cleaning. This method uses a fine spray of water to force dirt out of the carpet. This dirt is sucked up by the vacuum slot immediately in front of the spray.
