Carpet Cleaning

[Bill90Loyale]

90 Loyale wagon had 15 years of accumulated dirt and salt. Basically looked like you would expect the carpet to look. So my 11 year old son and I made a project out of cleaning it on Memorial Day. How? Remove the entire carpet from the car, pour full strength Simple Green on the worst parts, let that soak for about 15 minutes. Take it to do-it-yourself carwash (or borrow a pressure washer). Blast that thing until the water runs clear. Dry in sun. Re-install carpet. Took us six hours. If you're in the mood, it's worth it. The dirt and salt are washed away and the crunchy portions of carpet look great again.

 

The trick to carpet removal is seat and trim removal and minimizing the extent to which the padding gets wet. Which is entirely do-able, but a bit intimidating the first time. Feel free to PM me with any questions.
