The new car smell is long gone but the stains from spilling soda in your car are still there. Along with mashed in french fries, dirt, mud and whatever else you track into your cars floor. It's time to bring back that new car look into the carpet, and we'll show you how

To help out the people asking what kind of degreaser he is using, please don't use something like an engine degreaser from the auto store. I've seen a couple comments about interiors smelling like gasoline because of this. Just use Simple Green, Purple Power, or even Dawn dish soap. They work wonders on carpet and leave a clean smell. Don't have to spend big bucks on the professional grade stuff either. Great video by the way! Very professional.

I used to clean carpets professionally. The method shown here, would in my view, be suitable and appropriate only for a farm truck. Carpet cleaner is made specifically to be safely used for the purpose, and spot cleaners are similarly available. As others have said an extraction machine is crucial here. I have personally and more than once, seen odd methods employed, with various soaps left in carpet. It is not pretty, as the carpet material rapidly gets re-soiled and it is actually much harder to get the out the second time. If my word is doubted, try this gentleman's method on an clean, but unwanted carpet floor mat and leave it by a door that gets a lot of use; Not sure if it was brought up already, but unless this car sat out for a time with windows open, and in the driest, hottest environment, the residual water is going to "creep" up from carpet and every piece of exposed unpainted steel associated with the chairs, will be coated with rust. And if it say it is a humid week, all the inside windows roll with moisture for days. In my opinion with nice car, a more meticulous method would be money very well spent. Just my two.

Outstanding method. The degreaser is great advice. I had no idea how much oily dirt shoes pick up in parking lots, on streets, etc. I put one scoop of Oxyclean in my bucket with some extra carpet cleaning shampoo we had around the house. Seeing that you weren't afraid to get the carpet pretty wet was a big help too. Thanks for posting.

Your method is popular and on short fiber carpets it's fine, it's just the long way. Some ppl say steam clean but truth is you have to emulsify and lift. Stream will break up bottom dirt but it also leaves dirt and often takes longer w/ dry time. I like your way it works you just can't be too harsh w/ the brush. Also a good bio degradable all purpose cleaner, and a good vacuum. The higher HP types and your method is fine. Most drivers will dirty up those spots soon anyways. I've seen steam clean guys not get up enough moisture and then a mildew smell is present. This is ok. Just make sure you're not using too much cleaner and vacuum the crap out of it.

I use a Bissel Little Green Machine. It has a 1/2 gal tank for the cleaning solution of your choice and it sprays and vacuums with little effort. It is much easier than squirting a spray bottle. Also, it has a clear hose so you can see the color of the water you are vacuuming out, so you really know the carpet is getting cleaned. I have two of these and i just introduced my senior boyfriend to these and he has the second one and loves it. He never knew about them before. He always did it the mean way before, too. I made his car interior detailing alot easier.

Word of warning. Some cars have sensitive electrical cabling and connectors under the carpets!! (For example, Mercedes SL) not to mention 3-4 inches of shaped foam sections bonded to the underside of the carpet. If you use this much water, a) you will never get it fully dry underneath without removing the carpet (which is almost impossible in an SL!) , andb) there is a good chance you will completely mess up the CANBUS data wiring under the carpet - not a good move! The CANBUS connectors operate on voltage only (zero current), so any corrosion to the connectors at all can completely disrupt data transfer between the various control units in your car. Trust me, I speak from experience!! It's bad enough having water under the carpets due to leaking roof seals etc., without compounding the problem with over zealous cleaning. Great advice on the cleaning though, and I will be trying it on my mats, but just be aware that there may be some delicate components lurking under the carpet before sloshing the water around!

Very good advice. BMW X5 is the same way. All the electrical cabling and shit under the carpet is nuts. I open the door on my x5 one morning after a heavy rain and about shit the passenger side floor board had water about 2in above the carpet. The moon roof drains were plugged and backed up on the floor. Vacuumed about 15 gallons of water out but when you pushed down on the carpet in the corners you could still hear a ton of water. That's when the nightmare began. Removing almost all the interior to get the carpet out. That molded sound deadner is like a foam it sucks the water up like a sponge. It took almost a week to get the carpet completely dry after I got it out. And I vacuumed another 3 to 4 gallons after the carpet was out. Good lord it was a wiring highway under there. This is also very good advice for people looking at flood cars. No matter how good the deal is run like hell.

Think of carpets like a big door mat You can make the top of it look clean because most of the sand and dirt sinks into the bottom of it That's why you pick it up and shake it out Car carpet is no diffrent You ever see Bald spots on the drivers carpet It's cause Grit trapped in the bottom of the carpet in time cuts the strans So you end up with Carpet laying flat and dirty ..Now without a shop or a detailer you can Fix this from happening one or two ways ...The way i do it once a year : remove the seats remove the plastic bottom door trim undo the seat belt bolt Take out the carpet and power wash it at the coin op with soap Then wet vac or leave in the sun to fully dry before reinstall Or Use a steamcleaner with HOT steam and scrub and wipe and brush . Then put on the heater full blast on the floor setting open the window 1" to let the moist air out of the car ...worse thing to do is leave the carpet moist (mold) Most carpets have a foamish under pad that soaks up water under the carpet and stinks if wet and you get mold Because the Underpad doesnt let the water evaporate Causing Mosture and mold and worse yet ...rust

I use a little shop vac to pick up gravel and other dry stuff from the carpet. Then I get out a Bissell Green Machine to clean the carpet by extracting the dirt and grime. The spot and stain remover carpet machine is not expensive compared to a pro model, but it does better than using a shop vac. I just worked on a problem area in my car today and it took several attempts to pull the stain out of the carpet. The recovery water looked like used motor oil LOL!.. Your vid demonstrates the process to keep the carpet looking great.

Your car will rot from the inside out. And stink. A warm day will do no good it will just sweat under the carpet and stay moist. And anyone with a European car. Read Simon Lowe's comment and my response to his. If you do this you will wish you hadn't.

Okay couple things wrong here. 1. The term you're looking for would be "spots" not "stains", "stains" don't come out. 2. You're using a hard bristle brush which will destroy the carpet fibers if used to much. 3. You're using soap.. that's foamed up, then you brush it into the fibers to get it down there, then you just suck it up with a shop vac. Here's the problem you just, left all that soap in the fibers with no rinsing. Im not sure if your aware but soaps a magnet for dirt. Dirt loves sticking to it, so you did all that work just to have all that dirt come back and stick around, not to mention since the dirts just sitting there which you're going to step on and grind into the carpet which will damage and permanently destroy the carpet. If you wanna be lazy and cheap about it then go this way, if you want it done right seek out a more professional way. ALSO if you're doing this for a sanitary reason that wont work since everything just sitting there. Would you wash your dishing with soapy water, suck it up with a vacuum than turn around and eat off of it without rinsing it off?

Also it depends on your method, grain and density of the carpet as well as the CFM and suction HP of your wet/dry vac. I use a 6.5 HP wet/dry vac with a 150 cfm. The top of the line hot water extractor MAXES at 115 cfm and doesn't go past 5 HP. So I 100% disagree with your statement. My vac will outperform suction and consistancy of any hot water extractor anyday.

@@Twitch_Moderator It doesn't have anything to with the cfm of your vacuum, it's actually measure in inches of water lift but that's besides the point. The reason your vacuum isn't going to work as well as an extractor is the amount of time the water has sat and soaked into the carpets and the pad underneath. An extractor lays down hot water then immediately sucks it out of the carpet fibers extracting the soil or stain. On the other hand soaking the carpet like tubby here leads to a myriad of problems including mildew and mold not to mention the wicking effect, which takes place as the carpet dries, naturally "wicking" up and redepositing stains on the carpet you thought you just cleaned.

The subtitles for this are absolutely ridiculous! I can barely make sense of this nonsense. What I have to say for all the comments below in regards to over use of water though is, how many times do you get in your vehicle with wet, muddy, dirty shoes. Every time it rains and snows. Your car already has water in the under pad. While I don't agree with using just any cleaner and a shop vac. A little water can go a very very long way and if you're smart, you won't soak it and expect a quick vacuuming will dry it instantly. Do this on a sunny day, use towels to soak up any extra water, and scrub like you're possessed :-)

Just take the whole carpet out and really wash it out good and just let it dry before installing it back into the car :)

No it doesn't work like an extractor,its a shop VAC not a CARPET EXTRATOR. You will get maybe 60% of the water out and a good extractor gets out about 98% of the water so go ahead and do it tell me how nice your car smells.

WARNING!!! Do not try this if your carpeting has any kind of padding under it. I did this and let my car sit with the doors open in the Mississippi heat for over a week. My car smells worse than ever. I even took my seats out. There are so many cavities underneath the carpet that hold water. I don’t know how I will get all the water out without pulling my carpet up. It’s probably a matter of time before it begins to mildew. I’m at a loss of what to do from here. Any suggestions??

For gum and tar like deposits, mineral spirits work. Wet a cloth and dab the area. Now wait. After waiting, a few minutes, attempt to pry the gunk away from the fibers. For stubborn clumps, might have to still get at it with a pick or a screwdriver., though. In all cases, use a steam cleaner with only just water (no solution) do not us a wet/dry vac

I'm contemplating whether I should buy a carpet cleaner or a high hp shop vac. If the shop vac is able to perform the same if not better than a carpet cleaner in terms of suction and being able to pull up all/most of the degreaser/water. I rather just buy one thing. Rather than having to get two separate tools. Are they comparable or is one better than the other?

Use a heated carpet extractor, like a portable Mytee Lite 8060, after the scrubbing, you will completely remove all the dirt and cleaning chemicals much better then just a vacuum.

You should be using an extractor nozzle on the shop vac. It's opening is a narrow slit that will concentrate the vacuuming power, and will suck deeper than the crevice tool that the gentleman was using. Bissel extractor nozzles are cheap, and the front is clear plastic so you can actually see what is being picked up.

I bought a car recently that had some pretty great interior excluding a few spots. There are two spots that I just can't get rid of. I've tried Turtle Wax Power Out and Tuff Stuff a good 4-5 times but the stain still remains. Its faded a LOT but I just can't seem to get it out. Every time I do scrub though, the contaminants come out and make the suds a dark brown color so I know its getting out of the carpet, but I don't want to have to keep scrubbing and scrubbing to get it out. I also have what looks to be paint stuck in my carpet like spray paint that had no effect with any of those products. Is there a way to get it out?
