Your vacuum can shampoo carpets using the special tank and head provided because it was designed to perform this task. Make sure to use Kirby's shampoo, I called them about shampoos and they specifically told me to use Kirby shampoo because other shampoos will damage the vacuum. The shampoo is a special dry formula which was also created just for Kirby. To use it, apply the foam, allow it to dry, then vacuum it up with the right attachment.
