Do you want a spot cleaner or carpet shampoo?

Online or in-stores?

I use Detail King carpet Shampoo and spot cleaner, both works well.

I like Tuff Stuff, it works well for spots. To do the entire carpet in my cars, I have a Bissell Little Green Clean Machine and I love it. It made my GS carpet look new. The carpet in my 95 was too far gone though.

If you want something less involved, I've had good luck with Blue Magic (i think) carpet shampoo. It's in a blue can with a plastic 'brush' on the spray head. My last car was owned by a smoker and reeked. We used this stuff on all the carpet, mats and seats, and it completely got rid of the smell and any stains that were there.

I use this and Detail king soap, although most carpet cleaners work well.

The Green Machine I got is the pet version, and includes a water heater, and it acts like a mini extractor. It works well.

Default Folex - Simply the Best

I've been using this product for 15+ years with excellent results...and it's not just for carpet.

In addition to being a great cleaner, you can find at most stores...ie; Home Depot, Lowes, Food stores, etc. Size 32 oz's cost's about $7.00

Here's the Folex website...http://www.folex.net/

I might have some before/after photo's if interested....but trust me, this stuff works!

Good luck....

Put me in the Folex & Blue Majic crowd. They both work well. The Folex is probably a tad better.
