SHAVING CREAM YOUR BOAT CARPET!!!! CRAZY CLEANING HACK

One of the best kept secrets in in boat detail when your trying to clean your carpets is the Shaving Cream Hack. It might sound crazy but it might be the best way to clean your carpet. Take a look😳😳😳

[@HighStrung]

As a former carpet cleaner and floor restoration business owner there are cheaper better ways to clean your carpet. At least you are pressure washing it off unlike most. But any residual left behind from the shaving cream becomes oily and dirt sticks to it. Your carpet will get dirty 4 times faster if you do not get out 100% of the shaving cream. There are commercial cleaners like T.M.F. Super-cap that for $40 dollars you can buy a life time supply of. That cleaner will encapsulate all dirt and oils then it just vacuums up or ever time you vacuum your carpet. A damp mist and a little agitation let it dry and vacuum. No residual residue left behind cleaner carpet for longer and no trip to the car wash. And way cheaper over time. I'm just trying to help the guy that is going to keep his boat for many years. The guy that sells it ever year or 2 will never see the damage from the quick clean from shaving cream. Long rant I know sorry Todd I normally don't comment and I like your videos but if you know better you would speak up too. That's why I like you. Keep up the good work! Thanks for being real all ways!

Tmf stuff looks interesting. No completely soaking??? Spray on vacuum up?

[@HighStrung]

@@jonathanbarksdale8595 you b want to brush it in while damp. It will act like a degreaser. The dirt and oil will be brushed off the carpet and will be held in the cleaner and the Super cap will dry around the dirt and grease encapsulating the soils. Now it can't stick back to the carpet. Then you let dry and vacuum up! It's very concentrated. You only need a few onces in a spray bottle. Maybe a touch more if you have lots of spots to clean not just a total cleaning. It's great stuff and boat friendly!

[@DLPfishing]

Appreciate the info, gonna look for some now

[@tylermims]

I use Dawn dish detergent. Any thoughts on the use of it for carpet?

[@HighStrung]

@tylermims it can also leave a residue behind if not rinsed very good. Most carpet cleaners are designed to have low foam or bubbles. They are easier to remove then most standard cleaners. Shaving cream or dawn will not hurt your carpet. But if not rinsed very very well your carpet will get dirty much faster. A clean residue free carpet will vacuum up much easier. A carpet with oils or residue left behind will hold dirty and not vacuum up nearly as well.

Getting ready to clean my carpet and saw the G Man using Barbasol on his carpet. Started researching it and found a lot of the pros use the same method. Todd, you have totally convinced me. Thank you so much! I feel much more confident to know you and so many of your colleagues do this.

[@wickedbassn]

On another note...Pressure watching is good, but if the psi is too high, it can damage the carpet adhesive.

[@haroldrogers6566]

Thank Todd. That brought and brings the carpet back to life. Thanks for the hack 😁👍💯

[@rickrobinson5611]

Great tip Todd. What is the square flat piece that you have bolted to your trolling motor for?

[@robertchadwick1552]

Thanks for the tips. I've had a boat for years and never heard of this.

[@hoovy6579]

Very nice! I have heard the shaving cream thing and now I BELIEVE IT! Thanks Todd! Blessings for this year!

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

You bet!

[@DanielBoone337]

Gman put out a video a while back on this so I tried it and was blown away at how good the carpet looked afterwards. Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

Glad it helped!

[@RedXCross1]

yep, seen it

[@jeffreyplumb5619]

Todd, Saw the cable hanging down on the starboard rod locker. Nice little hack is use a pool noodle / pipe insulation tube and it will hold the cable up there in place. 2 minute install.

[@LucasBoone318]

Thank you Todd, this is a very helpful/informative video.

[@williamknight5142]

When it dries put some scotch guard on it helps to keep it clean and beads water like a duck.👍👍👍👍👍

[@AnthonySmith-oi3fl]

My water is frozen or I’d get out today and clean :). Good job on the detail work. I love a clean boat

[@tylermims]

A carpet scrubbing drill attachment works great without wearing yourself out. I use the one from Chemical Guys.

[@MichaelMidgett]

Because of how nasty the boat ramp area is where I fish the most, I keep a bath mat handy to wipe my feet on before getting in the boat. It definitely helps to space out my carpet cleaning.

[@Mjones8383]

How often do you get a new boat? Do you ever get new trolling motors and big motor if you keep it for multiple years?

[@codyhooser3333]

Great video TC..

[@kenbrown5449]

I had to look it up, the active ingredients in shaving cream... surfactants, emulsifiers, and cleansing agents are what makes it an ideal product for cleaning carpet.

[@mikegardiner3934]

very cool, Todd! I’m sure you’re at the car wash for awhile, but well worth it!

[@MrVinced1201]

Have you tried using a cordless drill/impact with a brush attachment instead of all that scrubbing for your carpet? I have found it to work well on the carpet with the shaving cream and they also work really good on your seats too. You can get a brush kit from Ryobi that comes with soft, medium and hard brushes in two different sizes.

[@TheFISHIN14]

Great stuff brother 👍🏽👏🏾✅️

[@forrestw1967]

Love the boat! Good taste! I run a '23 75th Anniversary ZXR. I'm sure we'll cross wakes on Rayburn soon. Cool video.

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

I’ll be looking out

[@ak4430]

Todd, where did you get the step attached to your trolling motor?

[@jobrandofishing]

Hey man is that little trolly motor standing pad/bracket protector a homemade deal ? Never thought about it i always stand right on the bow 😂 I like that it gave me an idea. Be Safe & Tight Lines

[@303carpetcleaning2]

It works ok because shaving cream is alkaline. You really need to rinse it with a acidic carpet cleaning rinse to work properly . That will neutralize the ph so it won't end up attracting more dirt .

[@andykray1]

What do you recommend?

[@po8dgz]

I noticed the Minn Kota on your boat and wondered about til the end when you said your boat was for sale. Could you do a review of the Garmin trolling motor after using it this past year?

[@richrichardson8556]

Hey Todd where did you get the stand on your trolling motor? The black piece that you would stand on to sight fish or use as a step? Thanks in advance and keep up the good vids man.

[@charliewerchan7252]

Question Todd.....If I can take my boat to a car wash which already has high pressure soap in the hose, and maybe also a brush with soap scrubber, can I skip a step and not have to apply the shave cream. Maybe two steps in one? Whats your opinion?

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

I've done that forever, there is a chemical I believe is shaving cream that seems to attract dirt better.

[@Mjones8383]

I cant understand why carpet is even still used in boats, but if it is there this is the way to clean it

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

I agree I could do without it

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

I try not to fish when it’s below freezing😂

[@brandoncarmack5416]

Would you recommend for older carpet, say 5 years old

[@Joshw920elite]

I’ve done this but have heard of guys using fabric softener as well. Wondering how that would work?

[@carysimpson4485]

What do you use for the clear coat

[@michaeldely2215]

Todd if your guests spill Red Wine on your white / tan sofa or carpet, shaving cream is perfect for that as well

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

Interesting

[@chrisl6733]

DAWN DOES A GOOD JOB AS WELL

[@glennboone7832]

Also, the smallest dab of that shaving cream will clean an electronic screen to perfection.

[@DLPfishing]

Hey Todd, when can I drop mines off, that looks like work I’ll pay you and we can pop a few tops and talk about fishing Lol

[@spencercline1957]

I don’t like to use a presser washer on my carpet can break down the glue

[@mikerice8185]

My fishing partner and I, we 50/50 the expenses and 50/50 the winnings. That works the best for us.

[@CentralCoastBassFishing]

SCOLDING hot water🤣

[@petebrandt7432]

Great tip, isn’t that your old boat?

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

Yes I just finally got around to editing the footage

[@JeromeCooley-us8zl]

Scrub brush and tide liquid detergent, rinse though well. Won't harm or discolor. Plus it leaves a nice smell.

[@fishncoach8699]

Who liked it before you ever had time to watch it!? Lol

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

I always wonder about the comments I get 8 minutes after I release a video that is 20 minutes long.

[@fishncoach8699]

Haha seriously. Ill give you the like, but I wanna see if it's worth it first

[@chrissmith2305]

I like everything you put out because you are “Real” and not “Fake”. I normally like 👍🏻 it before I start watching. That’s just me. 😎

[@RedXCross1]

GMAN ,lol@@fishncoach8699

[@tonygreen4356]

👍

[@captainron3494]

**why why shave cream**** simple it lifts the dirt out the carpet last hint 21 foot boat or less 2 cans is all u need been doing that to my rangers for 20 plus years but now I have sea deck best thing I ever done

[@Yandale123]

Hi I’m Brycen

[@lwilliams55]

All this fuss over a simple job. Wet small sections with a mild soap and water let it sit a minute the wet vac it. Everything come out…..

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

What fuss?

[@chasevanover]

Wonder how a carpet cleaner would fair? lol

[@2873lonewolf]

Thats what I was thinking. So many models on market, you can use a handheld scrubber that has spray and vacuum functions, that would steam clean it right out. This is a great hack though if you don't have a carpet cleaner.
