Carpets agggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: 03 May 2008, 20:32:10 »

Been cleaning them.

Mine are a beige colour

passenger front - can't get some brown stains out

passenger rear - clean them - a while later dirty again.

Used the VAX AAA stuff on it.

Just how do you clean car carpets?

I think I want to replace mine :(

Try Turtle Wax Interior1 ...its a dry cleaner.

I use it on the seats.....works quite well......but use a lot of it and give the carpet a good scrub with the brush supplied.....

Its not so much a 'dry cleaner' then........but if you use it evening, by the morning the carpet should be dry....then you can vacuum it as per instructions  :y

Dont think its cheap tho.......carnt really remember......£5/6 a tin  :-/

Carpets ? don't talk to me about carpets .My wife casually mentioned this morning that she had seen a chap selling lovely middle eastern rugs in our town square yesterday and invited him up today at 1 pm to show us his wares. 3 hours later ,a in depth history lesson in Iranian carpet manufacturing and the tribal hierachy of the Fers province in Iran and he slips 1800 euro into his pocket for three carpets.....no sorry rugs...
Anyway he said that the way to clean carpets is to use a white vinegar /water solution or a bread soda /water solution in a spray bottle and then lightly brush .
If you try it let me know cause nobody is getting to stand on these effing things......

You actually takes passengers in your car??? bad bad idea, they mess up the carpets, use the ashtrays as bins, and the small ones leave crumbs all over the place. Avoid, avoid!

Don't you just hate the ones that fiddle with the heater controls while you are desperately trying to avoid banging into the maniacs surrounding you on the dual carriageway?

Not that my heater controls actually do anything these days... :'(
