Carpet / Cloth Cleaner

[CHICAGO_ONE]

As this season ends and everything can be put back to normal, I want to clean up the cloth in the car.

Carpet, Door Inserts, Seats, Headliner.
All of them have at least some sort of stain or discoloration. I know these are all pretty delicate fabrics, and sometimes basic stain removers just make things worse.

So, Im asking, what have you used and what seems to work the best?

Blue Coral.


Yeah I agree, the blue coral upholstery cleaner is great. Also,,,if you're doing your whole interior,,,consider renting a rug doctor and use the hose attachment. I've done this before too,,,,,you wouldn't beleive the stuff that comes up in the water.

I rented a rug doctor with the attachment and picked up some upholstery cleaner then went to town on mine. Everything looks brand new.. literally, best $30 and 4 hours I've spent. That's going over the seats, carpet, headliner, and rear deck multiple times to get every last stain out.

If it has a hose attachment then yes. A rug doctor is really a household cleaner for the carpets,,,with the hose being for stairs and furniture.
Rug Doctor,,,Bissell Steam Cleaner etc. all do basically the same job,,so it won't hurt to try.

Here's what I'd do in your case.
1. Vacuum the car out.
2. Get a can of Blue Coral upholstery/carpet cleaner (which should come with a scrubbing brush on the top of the can. Spray the cleaner on the really tough stains and let it work it's magic,,,using the scrubber to really work it in.
Then spray some more on the bad stains after hand scrubbing them and let it soak some more.
3. Get the Rug Doctor (or equivalent) and follow the instructions for use (just like in the mighty mods youtube link I posted). Go over the entire area...seats,carpets,door panels,headliner. If you want it to be a bit easier,,get your ratchet out and remove the front seats for more room.
4. Let the car dry out and go grab a beer.

Blue Coral, a jug of hot water, and a shop vac
I have not ran across a stain that this combination couldnt take care of.

Use Blue Coral to break up the stain.
Then pour water over it and vac it up right away. That will suck up the stain/dirt then.
