I haven't done the Jeep carpets but I have cleaned carpets from our house many, many times. First I vacuum the carpets to get rid of the excess loose dirt. Then I drag them out onto the deck and use the hose to spray them with water, soak them good. Then I use dry powder laundry soap and sprinkle the carpets liberally with soap. Then with a household broom I sweep the heck out of them, scrubbing in the wet soap every direction and especially concentrating on soiled spots. Finally, I again use the garden hose to spray away the soap until I feel it is gone. The water drips from the carpet through the floor of the deck and drys in the sun. Sometimes it takes a day or two until they are dry. They are then nice and flat and clean when I take them back into the house.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Air dry.
Works fine for other multipurpose carpet and vehicle carpet, I don't see how this stuff is any different.

Thanks for all the tips guys! And a special thanks to R8R ROK for his hands on experiment. I ended up just taking them to the pressure wash car wash place. I was able to get all the carpets out and wash them out pretty good. Now the task of getting them back in! That doesnt seem like a fun project.
