Re: Carpet cleaning

I believe they make attachments for steam type carpet cleaners. May try one of those.

Re: Carpet cleaning

A bucket of water with Dawn dish soap,or Era will work,but dawn is better.Scrub the carpet with a small semi-stiff brush in an X pattern,and vacuum it dry with a shopvac.That's how we did them in the detail shop,takes some elbow grease if it's really dirty.Maybe 2-3 times.

Re: Carpet cleaning

Simple Green and a pressure washer.

Spray the Simple Green directly on the carpet. Scrub like hell with a brush. Rinse with a pressure washer.

Rinse.

Repeat until Tan.
