new carpet cleaning solution discovered.

Thought I would share this as it was just an awesome event.

So for spring break I went up to Atlanta to visit my Dad and his side of the family. My sister's fiance is an old country lady, lots of fun and very blunt to say the least. So we were talking about my hobbies and I tell her car detailing. She was interested in it as not too many kids can give an in deph explanation on polishing, etc.. I told her about this tough spot on my seat that my sister spilled some mystery combination of stuff onto the seat and the stain wouldnt come off.

She said hun, lemme take a look at it. She did, then drove off. Im like well it upsets me to, but damn. TO my relief she comes back with lemon ammonia. She gets a measuring cup, measures a cup of it, throws it in some hot tap water, and with a few scrubs, it was completely removed!!!!

So lemon ammonia with water!

1 cup to one gallon ratio!

Its the best damn cleaning solution I have used yet.

Ive used ammonia and water many times to clean car upholstry, and to me it works the best . Its fast, and doesent leave any resedue in the fabric or carpet .The only problem with it is the smell , although when it dries it removes all oders.

Thank you i will try that one on work truck carpets and seats

oh yeah.....ammonia is some bad a$$ stuff. If it can clean jewelry, floors, and toilets, it can certainly clean upholstry. Just have to let it air out and dry before using. Talk about clearing out the sinuses!! Just don't mix it with bleach........it makes a toxic gas!

Doesn't the lemon hide the ammonia smell?

Dow Bathroom cleaner with scrubbing bubbles is great for interiors too

[boogiejoe]

Bew careful with products like these. They clean well because they are very strong. You can remove stains with a blowtorch, but I wouldn't recommend it.

You should always use common sense and do a test spot with any cleaner, but I have never had an issue (in 15 years) with Dow Bathroom cleaner with scrubbing bubbles on anything.
