Carpet Cleaning

[matt911]

Really want to pull out my carpet, clean it and make it look brand new.

I dont see any kind of guide on here has anybody done this?

Maybe a steam cleaner will do the job?

*oh er Mrs*

Carpet out is an easy job just remove the front seats ( remembering to disconnect the airbag wiring)

Standard carpet shampoo or a jet wash and shampoo works wonders

 

[matt911]

Sorry forgot to mention! I know how to remove the carpet

Does jet washing and shampoo make it look brand new too? Want it to its original fluffyness if poss.

 

[sven_8t4]

With a decent powerwasher yeah, just dont stay on the same spot for too long..... as for fluffyness I use one of these....

Large Dog Slicker brush

Lol a dog brush? Really?

​I guess it would work so you literally just brush the entire thing which loosens all the parts that have gone flat?

 

[sven_8t4]

exactly that!

i used vanish carpet cleaning powder on mine, came out good but the idea really is to flush the crap out, wet vac being the safest less messy.
or just pre clean the carpet with a carpet shampoo ( check for colour fastness ( sp ) ) and pressure wash it off. hang to dry

Only tool i have atm is a small Karcher pressure washer so il be using that with some shampoo. Hopefully that will get me a good result!

Recommend any shampoos?

Only other thing i need now is this rain to do one.

just get some cheap carpet shampoo from asda/Tesco ect , give the carpets a good scrub and pressure wash off.

Rug doctor works well, you can hire one from B&Q for not much. That way you can also do your house carpets whilst your at it!

 

[matt911]

Mail me your Rug Doctor then

I used Stanley Steemer Carpet Cleaner. They were a little expensive, but they did a great job and I think it was worth it!

"McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner". It is convenient to use.
