Question What are you cleaning interior cloth/carpet with?

I learned all about the pros/cons of Zaino here, so what's the optimal product for cleaning interior cloth and carpet? I need to know as I am sure to need it with my parchment interior!
thanks

Use Woolite diluted 12:1 with water on the leather/vinyl. Save yourself some money.

What interior cloth? The headliner? Hmm. I would try mild soap/water or commercial interior spray cleaner MILD. I would use spray carpet cleaner on the carpet.

When my car get in, I intend to Scotch Guard the carpeting and the floor mats to prevent staining and ground-in dirt/grease. My interior is camel which is pretty close to parchment.

I use Prestone carpet cleaner for the mats and floor.

Leatherwise, I have some turtlewax brand leather cleaner. Haven't tried anything else in a long time. hrm.

Bump.. I have few small smudges on the interior headliner which im somewhat reluctant to use a cleaner on.. i was hoping there was a commercial cleaner for this.. (or something which someone has used and verified doesnt cause any issues)
i have had a problem with using harsh cleaners in the past - where they caused the interior to de-laminate.

I have always had a problem with the headliner and fold down vanity mirrors. I tried using the prestone cleaner but it left a stain there. I was thinking if steam cleaning it could lift stains off of the headliner.

Thumbs up

I have a Green/Parchment...I use Armorall OXI-Magic...picked it up at pep-boys! This product works unbelievable amazing; I use it on the carpets and panels, because people dont know how to lift up their feet to step out of a car and always leaves shoe marks all over! Again, I highly recommend trying it! I'm sure you'll be satisified!

Griots makes an awesome interior/carpet cleaner. Expensive but worth it, IMO. I like the Zaino leather cleaner and conditioner also.
