| | | Best light duty carpet cleaner???
One year old Rav4 with the light gray carpeting and always had large rubber floor mats in front and small square mats in the back. My wifes daily driver and of course we deal with snow and salt here in southern Ontario. The carpet is vacuumed probably every 3 months or so when feasible and the weather is condusive. I am noticing that along the unprotected sides of the carpet surrounding the front mats there is a slightly dirty look to the color of the gray carpet when compared to the carpet that is under the mat. Any product out there that I can just spray on and scrub back to the original color? I have tried those inexpensive carpet foams and sprays and the dirt is still not completely removed. Should I try renting one of those steam cleaners?
Pat.

| | | Folex would work well, or just use some Woolite. |

| | | I have seen Folex locally but believe or not I don't really notice Woolite in the cleaner aisle. Would I just spray the Folex full strength on the affected areas or should I make a bucket of diluted product and apply with a scrub brush?
Thanks, Pat.

| | | Woolite should be in the same aisle as your laundry detergents. Unless they don't carry it where you shop.

| | | Folex gets my vote.
Its like $4.99 for 32 oz at Target and Walmart. I also like Kids and Pets. Smells great. |

| | | How do you guys use these cleaners such as the 303? Just spray and scrub into the carpet and vacuum up the residue? Or just spray and blot with a clean towel and allow to naturally dry? I want to keep my carpets clean.
Thanks, Pat.
