When something stains or otherwise soils upholstery, maintaining cleanliness can be a tall order. Upholstered furniture and carpeting may provide a soft, soothing texture, but its porous component absorbs almost anything, and it is not easy extract things out. Even odours can be difficult to get rid of, since particles are confined between the threads, down under the surface.

Vacuums work great for removing dirt and dust that builts up and which accumulate on top of the upholstery, but that is the best they can accomplish - rake the loose dirt off the surface, they are not capable of penetrating deeply into the layers of the fabric to to get rid of all particles stuck into the area. This causes a situation where the upholstery looks clean upon first glance, but marks will not surface , odours will linger behind, and all the dirt sticks - you just can't see it.

One of the best tips for cleaning upholstery that you'll ever hear is to apply an extractor or shampooer to reach down deep into the layers. These can be acquired for as little as $100, in the case of Bissell's Little Green Clean Machine, which is a dual tank, heated extractor that comes with cleaning solution. The upholstery is injected with a high-temperature liquid cleaning solution, then it is vacuumed out in the same pass. Coming out with the liquid are the dirt, grime and smell. Once your carpets dries up, you will witness a brand new like bright carpets.

If you have to consider a wider coverage, you may consider renting a larger unit - such as the large red Rug Doctor machines that many supermarkets have for rent. These aren't so good for small crevices, but for large carpets or rugs, these are the way to go.

When applying vacuum, do one pass, then beat the upholstery with the palm of your hand to send more dirt to the surface for the next pass. This is a trick many auto detailers apply daily.
