No I wasnt drink driving I was taking some empties to recycle and there must have been some left in the bottles so I now have a wet beer patch on my carpet.

I could just go down to halfords and use their own brand stuff but does anyone have any recomendation.

If it smells nice that would be a bonus as its going to stink of stale beer.

Since seeing the cleaning job Jesus did on his Tourer with washing powder that's what I use, It cleans well and smells nice.

If you want to do the job properly hire a 'rug doctor' fronm one of the DIY stores they have a hose attatchment and will clean the whole car PROPERLY
including the headlining It needs an hour or two to dry out after but you really get the best results

Cheers but its only a small area. Trouble is if it cleans too well Ill have to do the whole boot area so it all matches. Cant have a grubby boot carpet with a clean patch in the middle.
