Has anyone done this?
Mine is horribly dirty. I did notice when pulling a bit on a corner that the carpeting especially when warm feels like it would separate from the backing board.
I'd just like to know if anyone has successfully done this?

I recovered mine with some vinyl from Mr Mike but you could get some material locally from a fabric store. Just keep the old carpet in place and use it as padding for the vinyl. The vinyl looks much better in my opinion because the original carpet always seemed a little out of place.

Try carpet cleaner and tools?
Spay on, wipe w/ a brush, vacuum off.

Any Bissell etc w/ furniture tools should work. Just don't soak the carpet.
