Shampooing a Cars Carpet

admin | October 30, 2008

1) Before you start you should thoroughly vacuum the carpet to ensure that it’s dirt free and clean. If you have any car mats you should take them out and clean them separately as it will make it easier for you.

2) The carpets should be clean if you have had your mats in for any length of time, if there are any stains or marks on the carpet you should spray them with general purpose cleaner or degreaser depending on the severity.

3) Apply a little water to the soiled areas and then scrub with a brush, again depending how bad the stain/mark is will determine how long/hard you will need to scrub for.

4) After you are satisfied with the result you can simply hoover everything up which should leave your carpets clean and fresh.

5) You are best doing each section of the carpet before moving onto the next section, the process itself is not very hard or time consuming but can make a great difference to the smell and appearance of your car.

6) Once you have done the carpets you can concentrate on your car mats, spray them with a hose and apply the same cleaning product used on the carpets. Scrub with a brush and repeat the process you did on the carpets.

7) Put the mats back in and you have finished.

Like to add something to the post. Should dry the carpets and mats really well after cleaning it. Otherwise it will give a bad aroma.
