The Best Carpet Cleaning Solution

What is the Best Cleaner to use on Carpet?

Are you tired of carpet cleaners that don’t really work? Sick of sticky residues and stain fighters that don’t do what they are supposed to. Then try Quick n Brite [1] the next time you shampoo your carpets. If you have your own steam cleaner, or if you have rented one from the store, then Quick n Brite liquid concentrate is the best soap to use in it. It will clean much better than anything available in stores, it won’t leave any kind of residue, and it is all-natural and doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals. The best part about it though, is that you can use it all over your home when you are done with the carpets. It is great for hundreds of jobs all over your home, so if you have some left after you are done cleaning your carpets, you can use it to pre-treat laundry, clean cabinets, de-grease stoves, remove upholstery stains, clean the bathroom and much, much more. It comes with a full money back guarantee and is 100% guaranteed to work. Anyone who uses it to clean their carpets never uses anything else again. For this reason, it is widely recognized as one of the best options available.

Pretreating Tough Stains

When cleaning a carpet, it is best to pre-treat tough stains before going over the whole rug with your steam cleaner. With Quick n Brite this is easy. You can use the same cleaner for pre-treating and shampooing. Just mix three tablespoons of Quick n Brite into a quart spray bottle and use the “all purpose” mixture to treat noticeable stains and heavy traffic areas. Just spray it on and let it sit till you go over it with the shampooer.

Step By Step Instructions:

  1. To mix up your all purpose spray, pour about 3 tablespoons of liquid concentrate into a one quart spray bottle filled with water. You can use more or less if you want to, but be aware that there is a point when you will have too much, so don’t simply go with the more is better technique.
  2. Make sure your water is warm or hot to facilitate mixing
  3. Once both ingredients are in the bottle, shake vigorously to mix thoroughly.
  4. To pre-treat tough stains, simply spray on the affected area. Use a liberal amount to ensure that the stain is totally saturated.
  5. Let the cleaner sit before trying to rub out the stain or shampoo the carpet. Make sure it stands for at least ten minutes, but more time may be necessary fro really bad staining. You can not let it sit for too long.
  6. Once it sits, you are ready to clean. Proceed to the directions below to either hand clean a single spot, or shampoo your whole carpet.

Shampooing a Carpet

Once you have treated the trouble areas, you are ready for the whole room. Just pour Q&B into the soap reservoir for your steam cleaner like you would any other carpet cleaning solution. The only thing different is that you can use less Quick n Brite [1] because it is super concentrated. After that, just fill with hot water and shampoo as usual. You will notice that your carpet comes cleaner faster, and with less effort. It will be left soft to the touch, with no sticky residue to attract more dirt. Plus there will be no chemicals on the floor, so you will know it is safe for children and pets. Tough stains that regular shampoos don’t work on will lift up quickly and completely, and you never have to worry about it mysteriously coming back over time. Because the rug will not be sticky afterward, new dirt will not glue on immediately like what you may be used to.

Step By Step Instructions:

  1. Check for any really bad spots. Although not necessary, a quick pre-treating spray can make the whole job take less time. Cover each dark spot with several squirts, and then let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  2. To begin with your steam cleaner, fill up the water reserviour with the hottest water possible. Hot water makes the cleaner work better, and enables you to lift up more dirt in less time.
  3. Once you have water in there, add some cleaner to the soap container. You can start off with about half of what is recommended, but you may add more if you feel the need. The liquid version will be the easiest because it poors right in, but you can also melt down some paste slowly in the microwave.
  4. After adding it, shampoo like normal.
  5. For best results use the machine to wet a larger area of floor, and then go back to suck it up. Make sure to start extracting in the location you started at. This will allow the cleaner time to sit, so your carpet will come clean quicker and with less energy on your part.
  6. Once all of the liquid and soap has been pulled out of your rug, you may be finished. The color of water being pulled up will determine this. If the water is still thick and brown, a second application may be in your best interest. This method generally takes out more grime than what people are used to, so don’t be surprised when you keep removing more and more dirt. This is a good thing.
  7. Continue shapooing until the water pulls up mostly white and/or clear. This will let you know you are done.
  8. Once clean, allow carpets to dry thoroughly prior to walking on it

Hand Cleaning a Carpet

You can also clean a carpet by hand with Quick n Brite. It will take much longer, but can be extremely effective. For a single stain or spill on your rug, use Q&B paste full strength. Apply it to the stained area and work it into the carpet. For some stains it is also beneficial to add water. After the cleaner has been applied and worked in, just let it sit there for about 10 mins. After that, come back with a clean, dry terry cloth towel and buff the stain out. It will actually transfer itself to the towel and your carpet will be nice and clean. Click here for more information about removing individual spots from carpeting. [2]

Your carpet will come clean easier and stay clean longer when you start cleaning it with Quick n Brite. Try it today. You have nothing to lose. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Doing a preventive maintenance on your carpet is really good. But you should have your carpet professionally cleaned ever year or twice a year.

The great thing about using Quick’n Brite is that you can achieve professional looking results at a fraction of the cost. You don’t have to hire a cleaning crew in order to remove spots from your rug. When you use [1], you also know that you are cleaning with something incredibly safe and super effective. Chances are you will get even better results when you do it yourself. Plus your carpet won’t be left sticky and crunchy, only to attract dirt again quickly. When cost, safety and results are all a factor, Quick’n Brite makes a good choice and eliminates the need for the “professionals”.

Does it remove oil stains from carpets? My nan told me once that pouring talcum powder over the oil stain and leaving it will lift the stain!

#4 Comment By SimplyGoodStuff On 11/30/2009 @ 1:20 PM

Quick’n Brite is ideal for grease and oil stains. It is able to break apart and remove oily build-up that other cleaners can’t touch.

#5 Comment By Sharon On 02/14/2012 @ 3:55 PM

I actually found a better cleaning product through this review: [6]

After trying it, I found it removed stains that I had never thought possible to remove. The 950 really deserves to be acknowledged as one of the best cleaners on the market. By far the best product I have EVER used on my carpets.

#6 Comment By Anonymous On 02/14/2012 @ 8:27 PM

Better?…Really!?…Did you use both, and that one worked better? Please offer up some more details. What was the stain that Quick N Brite was unable to clean, but this one could? It is hard to believe that any cleaner could do a better job, but perhaps that one is it. From our testing, and more than 20 years product knowledge, there are virtually no products out there that can even come close to the ability and benefits offered by Quick N Brite, but we are always happily curious to hear about new products that work well.

#7 Comment By Ellen G. On 05/17/2013 @ 12:52 PM

Sharon – LOVE Genesis 950. It should def. be on this Quick n Brite doesn’t even compare to it.

#8 Comment By SimplyGoodStuff On 05/17/2013 @ 3:04 PM

Wow. Strikingly similar email addresses there. Wonder if you guys work for the company?! If any real folks out there are interested in a product that does not have to be backed up by people collecting a pay check, then Quick N Brite is probably a better choice. The results speak for themselves, so comment trolls are not necessary to create good feedback. Nice try though guys 😉

#9 Comment By Beali On 09/17/2013 @ 1:24 AM

Love it when imposters are busted. Theirs was a shameful plug.

#10 Comment By SimplyGoodStuff On 09/17/2013 @ 11:07 AM

Indeed. Pretty lame attempt, but contrast always provides perspective. Quick n Brite popularity grows based upon results, while other less effective options require paid support to build a user base. Which option would you choose? Just sayin.

#11 Comment By Lyda On 01/17/2014 @ 8:14 AM

Appreciate the recommendation. Let me try it out.

#12 Comment By SimplyGoodStuff On 01/17/2014 @ 12:35 PM

No problem. Be sure to report back with the results once you try it.

#13 Comment By Mark On 12/15/2014 @ 4:14 PM

What a Joke.

#14 Comment By SimplyGoodStuff On 01/21/2015 @ 7:18 PM

OK?! Thanks for the comment? Not really intended to be funny, but glad we were able to make you chuckle.

#15 Comment By jenn On 01/21/2015 @ 6:48 PM

You didn’t mention it, so I’ll just say that trying water first on a carpet stain is a very good idea. It might not get the stain completely out, but it certainly can’t hurt. Hard chemicals, on the other hand, could make a stain irremovable. Always try water before moving to something more intense.

#16 Comment By SimplyGoodStuff On 01/21/2015 @ 7:19 PM

Agreed. Flushing the area first can be a very good idea. A little water can remove any dirt not set in yet, and make the actual staining easier to remove. We appreciate the input Jenn.

#17 Comment By Derek Dewitt On 02/26/2018 @ 8:17 AM

My wife and I are trying to get a tough stain out of our carpet, so thanks for the helpful guide. I like your point about using half of the recommended cleaner amount to start, and then adding more. This sounds like a great way to save on cleaner and ensure we don’t add too many chemicals to the carpet.

#18 Comment By Peter Eckhart On 09/16/2018 @ 11:12 AM

I tried some carpet solution except for Quick n Brite liquid concentrate. When you pointed out that it is safe for kids and pets, then this might be the cleaner that I’m looking for. I will surely give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

#19 Comment By Bob On 08/02/2019 @ 2:04 PM

I love your carpet tips. My wife and I have terrible carpets. We’ll have to have them cleaned.

#20 Comment By Mussallem Area Rug On 07/20/2020 @ 4:39 AM

Thanks for these tips for taking care of some rugs. I’m glad you mentioned that you should try to dab any spills on the rugs. I’m curious to learn if you should use a particular cloth when cleaning up spills, especially to make sure you get a lot of it out of the rug.

#21 Comment By SimplyGoodStuff On 07/24/2020 @ 6:16 PM

The best cloth for absorbing spills can be found here: [7]

#22 Comment By Felecia On 08/05/2020 @ 3:29 PM

Does this remove the pet urines from the carpet? Or can we use enzyme or OXY cleaning solution on the carpets to remove the urine?

#23 Comment By SimplyGoodStuff On 08/24/2020 @ 10:32 AM

Yes. This will work for urine stains too.

#24 Comment By md.shadikur rahman shagor On 04/21/2021 @ 12:10 PM

when I read your article you just told two methods of cleaning a carpet but there are lots of ways to clean a carpet. such as we can use carpet cleaning tools, baking soda method, and many other things. If there is other information about cleaning the carpet please let us know.

#25 Comment By Ella Starr On 06/09/2021 @ 2:38 PM

How interesting that you talk about how it is best to pre-treat tough stains on a carpet before cleaning. I just moved into an older home and want to have the carpet cleaned. I will find a reputable carpet cleaning service in my area.
