Hi all. What do you guys use to clean the carpet inside the car? I've thought of buying one of the pro level extractors but they all seem to run about $1500. More than I want to spend. What else is there? Most home shampoo machines won't fit in the car to do the floors.

Rent a carpet cleaner with an upholstery tool.

my buddy owns a carpet cleaning biz. Once a year I'll bring it over to him and he'll scrub it down real nice.

Or you can do it yourself...with carpet cleaner. Any of them will do.

they have this super great stuff, it is Resolve except not a spray foam it is powder no need to wet, soak let dry. just put it on and scrub with brush that it gives you and results are great. it cost like $7

soak the carpet in a stream of piping hot water, then use an old toothbrush to clean the area

I just spend 30 bucks at a Mister CarWash and have those guys take out the stains... they tell you up front that they can't take out red stains.... but everything else will come out....

Any good products from the Auto store that cleans carpet well??
I've used Blue Coral so far and it is so-so.

I use HotSpot cleaner in a spray can that you can get at any supermarket; works excellent.

I've used a mix of oxy-clean and water in a spray bottle. Works great with most stains and you can localize the cleaning area.

For the mats I like to take them out and scrub them in the tub with a little tide and lots of elbow grease with a brush. Then hang dry. Vaccum it well first, to get most of the dirt out. :-)

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. I'll give some of them a try.
