You can clean the surface to perfection but if you dont get the dirt from the bottom out, it will never stay clean. Soak it in water and carpet soap, scrub it really good, and then vaccumm it all out. Then take an air hose and blow the carpet with the nozzle directly to it. (make sure you cover the nozzle with a towel or you will have dirt everywhere.) The dirt will lift to the top. Vacumm and repeat until no dirt comes up anymore. Then proceed to your surface cleaning.

Turtle Wax makes some stuff called Power Out. Comes in an aeresol can with a built in Carpet cleaning brisbane scrub brush sprayer, it's an upholstery cleaner, but it does a very good job on carpet as well. I use it in the truck and also for spot cleaning the Carpet Cleaning Sunshine Coast in my house. It takes out stains very well.

You have to get the deep down dirt out of the carpet to really get it clean. I have never found any cleaner that will do that. They all clean the surface fibers and leave the dirt/sand that is down in the fibers.
For really bad carpets, I take them out and pressure wash them. And it takes quite a long time to do it right. First I use a degreaser (simple green works good). Let that just soak in for a half hour or more. Then pressure wash it out. Finally I hang the the carpet over a fence or whatever and pressure wash until the water runs clear.
It will take a couple of days for the carpet to completely dry. And, I have never had a carpet loose it shape doing this. Rent, borrow or use one of those car washes with a wand to wash it. You will be amazed at your results.
