VR6 South 0 Posted April 20, 2014 A general purpose carpet cleaner specifically for machines will do the trick. It's only a few £'s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted April 20, 2014 Use a specific automotive upholstery cleaner I can recommend Meguiar's it is very good though you would be better using it alongside a wet vac. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted April 20, 2014 Specific upholstery brushes will be fine, or a shoe polishing brush which is absolutely the exact same thing, can be had for a quid in your local supermarket! As long as the bristles are soft, it'll be fine giving em a light scrub. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iceviolet 0 Posted April 21, 2014 Prochem Crystal Green provides excellent results on carpets and upholstery. One tub will last you more than long enough as it is quite concentrated. I use it in a Numatic George. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southerner88 10 Posted April 21, 2014 Cant comment about the Meg's stuff....but I used this on my Golf Recaro's, they were covered in mould and filthy after being sat a while, spray it on, leave a few mins, use the cap/brush to rub it in, leave a few more mins, hoover off. used on seats, carpet, door cards, plastics, pretty much used it on the whole interior of my Golf... http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_190214_langId_-1_categoryId_255236#tab1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
