He used a squirt of dish soap in a spray bottle and filled it with hot water, sprayed it on stains, and scrubbed it with a toothbrush.

Then he used a steam cleaner and a toothbrush on stubborn stains.

We will see what that does to the candy the Alaskans embedded in one of my floor mats.

He sprayed the floor with Meguiar's Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner, scrubbed it with a brush, and then vacuumed again.

Then he used a Hoover Spotless Portable Carpet & Upholstery Spot Cleaner, which Amazon sells for $98. Walmart is supposed to have it for the same price, but it is supposed to arrive a day earlier.

I bought a carpet cleaner a while ago. I am going to find the attachments and see if I can use that on my car.

He cautions against using too much water because the carpet pad will absorb it.

I bought my brother 15 bags of popcorn for his birthday and this was absolutely our favorite, at least so far:


I paid $16 at Walmart, but we liked it so much I ordered a bag for each of my sisters. Thirteen dollars on Amazon.

Then he removed the floor mats, brushed them off, banged them together, vacuumed, pressure-washed, sprayed with Meguir's, used a power brush on it, used the shampooer, and then hung his floor mats!



Then he Scotchguards them.

He uses plastic cleaner on a soft brush to clean the trunk trim, plastic protector on a different brush, vacuums around the trunk opening, and a waterless wash and wax for the narrow areas.

He cleans the headliner, but I haven't noticed any marks in mine, so I am skipping that.
