No you can google it. Probably 2 dozen vids. 
I use a wet carpet cleaner, a Bissell.
 My boat size takes 6 cans of shave cream for the job.   I wet 1/2 the deck with the sprayer and spray on the cream. Work it in with a soft bristle brush in a circular motion I then just work my way back working it in on a damp carpet.

Let it set for an hour and then wet it heavily with the spray on your carpet cleaner, fully soak.

Then, take the vac on the cleaner or a shop vac and vacuum out as much water dirt and cleaner as you can. 

Let it dry and then vacuum again and brush against the grain. It’s comes out absolutely beautiful. 

You simply won’t believe the dirt and crud that comes out in the vacuumed water. 

Good Luck


 

Hey Bill - was wondering how your carpet cleaning job is holding up?  I've thought about trying the Barbasol method for years now but have never got it out of the thinking stage.  I've usually just sprayed the carpet with a vinegar/water mixture (learned my lesson about using any kind of soap a long, long time ago) and then used the power washer followed by a thorough brushing with a wire bristled brush.

Looks great when I'm done but by about the third trip out it's all matted down again and I'm back on my knees with the wire brush.

Just wondered if the Barbasol method held up any better.  Kinda doubt it but was gonna try and do mine today before we head y'all's way in the morning.

On a side note I gotta say I'm in shock that most of the rain is supposed to be done BEFORE we get there.

Certainly not the weather pattern we've grown accustomed to over the many years.......
