Holy Carpet Batman, thats a lot of carpet!

One of the jobs that we do before we open for a new season is shampoo the carpet.  We have done this many ways but have finally found what works best for us.  We begin with connecting the garden hose to the sink.  Then we connect one of those sprayers that connect to the end of a hose so you can add fertilizer to your plants.  We fill that sprayer with carpet cleaning solution, dial it to # 1 and begin spraying hot water on the carpet.  We let that sit for a minute or two, then we 'shop vac' the carpet.  If there are stains, we pretreat them.  If necessary we use a brush on a long handle to scrub the solution into the carpet.  Wala!  clean carpet. 
Once we had a carpet guy do it but it really didn't seem any cleaner then our efforts so this way we save money, get a good workout, and stand back at the end with a great sense of accomplishment.
