<human>:  What is the best way to clean a carpet without a vacuum cleaner?
<bot>: The best way to clean a carpet without a vacuum cleaner is to use a carpet brush or a broom to thoroughly brush the fibers of the carpet. You can also use a steam cleaner to clean your carpet, as steam is an effective way to remove dirt and debris embedded deep in the fibers. You may also find it helpful to sprinkle a carpet-cleaning solution onto the carpet and use the brush to carefully work it in. Finish by vacuuming the carpet to remove the dirt and solution.
