The gray carpet in my ride really needs a shampooing but I was gonna just scrub it myself and let it dry. Anybody have recommendations for good carpet cleaner/ stain remover that isnt meant for a shampooer. Or could i just use the stuff thats supposed to go in a carpet shampooer?

to be honest when i got my car the carpets looked like **** lol, but i went to the dollar store and got there brand carpet cleaner and it worked really well. i soaked my carpets in it and scrubbed them with a scrub brush and it got out almost all the stains. i dryed it with towels... its cheap and worked awesome

Ive tried quite a few and many of them are good for getting stains out but the best results I have had was when I pulled out all of the seats and steam cleaned the entire carpet. Really makes it smell fresh and basically like a new car. Its a day project but its worth it, and the seats are just held in by 4 bolts if I remember correctly.

Also, don't unhook the wire connection to your seats (yellow plug?) unless your battery is disconnected... IIRC, yellow plugs = Air bag plug and it could go off..

Cleaning your carpet and upholstery doesn't just have to be to avoid wear and age. It can also be due to accidents. If you are going to have a party, or if you have just had a party and there are stains all over it from food and drinks then you can call a professional cleaner to come and get it out.
