I don't have a big ol 200 psi compressor, but I do have a 120 psi
compressor and I'll vouch for this method of cleaning carpet. I'll
usually put a box fan or something in there too to help blow out the
really fine airborn particles...

I have to add that an air compressor is one of the most useful tools
that I have ever owned. If you can afford one, you won't regret buying it.
I use mine constantly.
