As a diesel mechanic you must have rubber floor mats and washable seat covers atleast on the driver's side. As well as a pack of interior wipes

[@woodwick4684]

I thought these were black carpets with dried mud and was so confused with the audio until the very end I realized what was really going on

[@hanzohasashi5603]

Same just to find out the blackpart was the stain 😂

[@abird288]

Same. I thought it was mud on black carpet too

[@KrowKnow]

Don't forget the power agitation. (The spinny tool). It's great at loosening up the deep dirt. Some companies charge more to pull out the buffer, but that's typically when the carpet is really rough, and the techs going to have to go over it multiple times. So you're not getting just one standard cleaning. One standard cleaning isn't enough for most house holds. The folks that don't wear shoes in the house are the only ones I've seen get away with the base clean, and it still looks great.

[@dirty2dreamy350]

So true

[@explaincauseidontgetit3294]

Wow! That is incredible. Nice job. I think it’s hilarious the comment section suggesting ways to do it better…when it looks brand new.

[@dirty2dreamy350]

The internet is such a fun place haha. You should see the comments section on tiktok. It has the most experts

[@jeffbrown6580]

Just an FYI, most floor mats are are an olefin fiber and they petroleum based. As such they are oleophilic meaning petroleum oils,grease can penetrate the fiber easily. They are durable to high ph cleaners such as Flex which IIRC is around 11 to 12. However...if you have some "disaster" in your home s carpet, unless you know the fiber type, for god s sake dont use a cleaning pre spray that has a ph of higher than about 9.8. Most residential carpet is acid dyed nylon and super high ph will remove the stain resistance. Another tip, stain resistance is not the same as Teflon or Scotchguard. Cationic substances also degrade stain resistance so dont spray Lysol disenfectant in the air over stsin resistant nylon.

[@FrankTheTank417]

Dayum! Just wished you would have elaborated on exactly which chemicals/cleaners you were using at which stages. We have bad stains to get out too you know?!
