Best way to clean carpet, tips/tricks

Today I took out my seats to clean the carpet and the seats and everything, and it really needed it but I used a tool to scrape the carpet to get some of the stuff loosened from it so I could vacuum it out, and I planned to scrub it with something but I ran out of daylight and had to drive the car that night.

Overall even doing that was good for it, and the car smelled better afterwards, I didn't think it smelled but I could tell the difference after i put it all back together.

But the next time that I do this, what would you guys recommend to clean the carpet?

I bet it made a world of difference, just scraping all the **** out of mine made a world of a difference.

There was this one spot where the carpet was so dirty that it was just flat and black(the carpets red) and I just always thought that it was just worn off completely because its in a spot where your foot always hits when you get in the car but it wasn't it was just dirty with something, so really glad I got most of it out.

Also had the chance to pull the carpet back in some places to look at the floor, and it was still shiny bright red! No rough or rusty spots!
