Carpet cleaning?

What methods and products do you people use to clear you truck carpets?

Any specific hints? chemicals?

Clorox spray cleaner.

I had some blood on my front seat and used the Clorox to clean it and it did an awesome job. Cleaned it so well that I thought I'd try it on a stubborn black stain in the back seat - cleaned it out just as well!

Why did you have blood on the seat again?

Any one know a cheep replacement? I have red clay in the back of my carpet. I was gonna cut it out, just behind the seat and either Rino Line it or black Diamond Plate it.

Folex (from your local grocery store, the best IMO), a fingernail brush, and a terry towel.

I use a orange all purpose cleaner (all sort's of brands out there, all the same)

Spay the area throughly, use a med-hard scrubbing brush, vacum the area afterwards (shop vac)

Very cheap, and works extremely well

I detail cars btw

shhhh!
I don't wanna have to "whack" you


No, I'm afraid it was just something as simple as closing the knife on my finger after using it to open a package. Didn't realize it was cut until I felt my finger slipping on the side of the box :pat:

Spray-9 works great, or Oxy-Clean made into a paste and let it sit on the stain for 15 minutes. When you are done scotch guard them well, definitely scotch guard new carpets...
