Getting rid of bad carpet stains.

Luke warm water, Diswashing detergent and a srubbing brush has worked for me at times.


Cheers Axle.

Extraction cleaning is the best way.

Hows it going Steve,

I have used the upholstery tool on the carpet cleaners for hire at shopping centres. If you pull the seats out it makes it very easy , they also sell pretty good cleaning stuff to take out stains.

G'day Steve

When i had my GQ Patrol i had a bad stain in the rear carpet that i was having trouble getting rid of, i found degreaser the best thing to use , then simply washed it afterwards with some hot soapy water. To fluff the pile back up i used a hacksaw blade, just run it across the pile , worked a treat, made the carpet look brand new....Hope this might help...

Cheers.....Borgy

carpet spot stain remover and scrubbing brush/sponge from supermarket

Steve we use a product called 101 which quickly removes stains from carpet. We also use it as a bug remover. It is a citrus based product and we buy it from a van saleman that comes arround once a month. It is a product you should always have on hand. We spray it on a stain and rub off with a rag and 9 times out of 10 it is gone. Also great for cleaning tyres. BUT do not put it on an alloy bullbar, it etchs into the alloy.Other then that go to a auto store and buy some carpet cleaner.

Hello Steve, I am a commercial cleaner & would suggest you firstly give it a real good vacuum to get rid of dust particles. Go to your local dry cleaner & see if he will give or sell you about half a litre of stabilised Perchloroethylene (whew!!) It is commonly known as premium grade dry cleaning fluid.
Stick a pair of gloves on, grab a clean cloth, roll it into a bit of a ball, soak it with the chemical and use a "dabbing" motion on the stains. And hey presto! stains gone & no residues. Hope that helps.

Steve,
Get some replacment carpet from Knox auto carpets. Cheap, delivered to your door in less than a week and easy to fit.

Gday Steve,
You must be impressed with the OKAs?
As for the stain....Ive always been a beleiver of "prevention is better than cure".....
My last car had that much rust that when you dropped a beer on the floor it went straight through the covering and run out the bottom. Never got a stain.
LOL

Have you tried vinegar and salt?

Cheers

Thanks for the replies.

I will give it a go tomorrow as I had a tour today.

I will take photos and report which method worked best.

Cheers Steve
