best thing to clean a beige cloth interior

[matt86]

hi I have a very stained beige cloth interior and was wondering the best product or method for removing this?

would you use a wet and dry hoover with very hot water and a brush?

A Rug Doctor (hire) works wonders.
Put a mixture of the shampoo and a little hot water in a bowl and scrub in with a soft brush, then vacuum using the attachment (repeatedly, over the same sport 3 or 4 times to get as dry as possible). Do the whole interior 2-3 times if it's really bad and it'll come up amazing with a whole host of smells gone that you didn't know were there. Don't forget the carpet while you're at it, though make sure you use Kontrol Krystals (ebay) placed underneath and wrapped in a towel to dry it out once you're done as moisture stays in the foam and will smell in time.

Carpet needs to come out and be pressure washed, then hung up and drip dried, but the seats can be done as above, with a 'rug doctor', a wet/dry vacuum cleaner, or a valeting machine (which is essentially a wet/dry vacuum cleaner.
Numatic 'George' does all my valeting.

Yip, use a wet and dry vac on the seats and carpet if you are not going to remove it.... Spray the seats with an upholstery cleaner solution, don't soak them...scrub gently with with a soft bristle brush or microfibre cloth, then wet vac.

I have to remove carpets and seats for a rust inspection anyway

So I will do as suggested.

thanks again

Or get pacerpete around to lick it clean - he's quite partial to stained beige stuff, so I hear...

As Brian say`s.
My son works for HSS and when the house carpets are done , then I set to work on the BMW`s. ASDA etc sell all the Rug Doctor gear but you will not need too much(unless you promise to do the stuff inside for her indoors .lol)

I believe you never use very hot water

Pay a valeter like me to sort it out!

A 'George' or similar is your tool. You need a good interior shampoo (I use a trade product called Fabriclean), an interior brush and microfibre cloths. Use a small hand pump bottle to lay a heavy mist on the seat, scrub hard with the brush (it should foam), vacuum up with slow long strokes keeping the nozzle tight on the cloth then wipe any excess off with the cloth. Repeat until clean.

Make sure it's an interior brush or you'll damage your material and lay the shampoo down as a mist so it sits on the surface, you don't want to go too deep into the cushion or you'll overwet the seat and pull all sorts up from deep in the foam.

Finally I add a touch of Antibac (designed to remove tobacco odours) to the pump bottle as it leaves the car smelling clean without smelling too floral / fruity.

Are they as bad as these? This is a 2011 Golf, looked factory fresh once finished.

The 'after' shot. The drivers quarter after cleaning.

Yes they are as bad or worse and they are beige which males them look really horrible. I may have to get a local valeter to do them for me I think.

Sensible move, it's not difficult but it's a case of having the right kit, without a commercial vacuum you'll get nowhere and the right chemicals are what will get all the toot moving so the vacuum can pull it out. Basically as long as it's not physically broken, ripped, scratched, torn etc a good valeter should be able to sort it out.
