How to get my carpet clean?

I left for a few weeks and left my friend at my house.She brought her dog and cat.I have no money.And my carpet is ruined (along with my coach lol).Any tips on how to clean carpets (with no carpet cleaning machine)?HELP PLZ.

Answer:

Ask around and borrow someone elses carpet cleaner like a friends,(so many people these days have one, or they know someone who has one) and instead of using expensive carpet cleaning solution, just use laundry detergent and water. Good Luck!
It'd help to know what exactly is in your carpet - do the hairs bother you or has it been peed on - or worse!? For hair, the best thing I've ever tried is scraping carpet with a rubber-soled shoe. Once you've done a bit the hair all clumps together and can be picked off by hand - not as much hassle as it sounds! For pee you'll have to wash it, which is a hassle without a proper wet vac. First check if any friends or family have one you can borrow, or if there are any companies nearby which will hire one out to you. If not, try using something like Shake 'n' Vac, which is a powder that you sprinkle on the carpet and then hoover off with a conventional vaccum cleaner. If you're still really desperate then you'll have to get a big bucket of warm soapy water, scrub it in with a big scrubbing brush, put a dry towel on it and stomp around on it to pull as much of the water back out of it as you can, then wait a very long time for it to dry out again completely. This is a massive pain in the a*se though, so try the other methods first and maybe stick to just washing any really bad bits with water if you have to!
You get your so called friend to take responsibility and clean it. Or give you money to rent a carpet cleaner.
