[Shotimes] Cleaning carpets

[Carl Prochilo]

I wouldn't say that the carpet were super dirty.  There are some spots.  I
used something we had in the house that was foam spray based that you
apply and then use a wet sponge to rub into the carpet.  That brought back
a nice appearance to the carpet to the point I almost don't want to step
in it again.  I did same to the mats.
For the few stubborn spots, I might try your method, but all of the spots
are not even normally visible and I will soon forget.
