A system and method for carpet cleaning for cleaning carpets along longer runs from a central tank and vacuum assembly while using less chemicals. The system and method for carpet cleaning includes a central tank and vacuum assembly, a wand assembly, and a hose assembly. The central tank and vacuum assembly facilitates the routing of clean and waste water and creates vacuum pressure for recapturing water applied to a carpet being cleaned. The wand assembly is designed for applying clean water to a carpet to be cleaned, and for recapturing the water in the form of waste water from the carpet. The hose assembly includes a first end operationally coupled to the central tank and vacuum assembly, and a second end operationally coupled to the wand assembly. The hose assembly is used to conduct water and waste water between the wand assembly and the central tank and vacuum assembly.
