One gallon of water with 1-1 1/2 ounce of laundry detergent in a sprayer and then using a home carpet extractor is how I clean carpets quite wellA bucket of warm water with laundry detergent and a soft brush does a really good job.
My HVAC installers said to use vinegar (1/4 c) every month.What do you recommend?
Way overthinking this......Everyone has a "shop Vac" of some brand name or another. Some call them WET/DRY vac. Get a cheap 1 or 2 gallon weed spayer, lable it "SOAP ONLY" as you do not want to mix it up with your poison sprayers, and then wet the carpet with it, then suck out the dirty water, and repeat until clean. Then fill with fresh warm water and repeat to get your soap solution out.... maybe a spray bottle of cleaner and water, brush, and super suck vacuum at car wash beats portable carpet cleaning machine?
I have about a half dozen car carpets I need to deeply clean. Earlier this morning I searched Amazon for different portable carpet cleaning machines, and looking at the reviews in depth, all had like complaints about the portable machines. Hose to short, suction not so good, suction head to large for automotive carpet cleaning, etc.
Came to think, why not just buy cleaner in bulk and put in a spray bottle, have distilled water in a spray bottle, various scrub brushes, and do the carpet cleaning at a car wash that offers free vacuum with wash purchase? Some of these places have monster suction vacuums, designed for auto carpet maneuvering. Might be able to remove dirty water better with the car wash vacuums than portable carpet cleaners?
I can't think of 1 2003 model car or even 1993 model car that had vinyl floorsMy pickup (2015) has vinyl or rubber flooring like all cars did 20 years ago.
Me neither. A friend with a serious dust allergy had the carpeting removed from his new car. Then he had the floorpan covered first with Dynamat and then with trunk bed liner. It wasn't cheap.I can't think of 1 2003 model car or even 1993 model car that had vinyl floors
How many people own a truckmount I do but I don't do cars or trucks anymore. jzTruck mount is what I recommend. Remove the seats and the console, pre-treat and agitate, then have him/her come and do the extraction. Nothing beats the extraction power of a truck mount.
