Deep cleaning carpet and cloth seats

[ezdaar]

Just realized how filthy my interior is and now I'm on a mission to remedy this problem.

I've used alot of the basic methods and chemicals over the years, but now I'm reaching out to you guys, for possibly more advanced methods and better, newer chems.

What chemicals and methods do you guys use to clean your interiors?
From dealer new to 15 year old crusty.

Please post up your fav chems and methods. With as much detail as you feel needed.

An Extractor is usually a must.

A good pre-treat cleaner-chemical that many detailers like is Folex, available from places like Home Depot. It's cheap and good, I use it. Seems just as safe on upholstery as well as carpeting. Also a great product to keep for use in the house.

Great spot cleaner for spills.

+1 on using Folex- good stuff.

I will also agree with Folex, and its cheap and easy to get.

I'm not sure if you do this or not. I fill a small garden pump sprayer with hot water with cleaner and spray the carpet down until very wet. I use a brush to loosen and agitate ground in dirt, then use a wet/dry shop vac to remove the dirt. This can be repeated until the suctioned residue shows cleaner.
