Cleaning interior.....any tips???

Hey, I have decided to clean the carpet and cloth seats in my 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX. I have never thoroughly cleaned cloth seats or the interior before and I would like to do a great job the first time around. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks.

Carpet cleaners & hot water extractors, carpet shampooer, auto carpet cleaning machine, carpet extractors, carpet cleaning machines, carpet cleaner,

If you can rent or use one of these hot water extractors, its the way to go. I rather like Folex or Wolfgang Spot Remover for light cleaning.

Folex is one that you can get at Home Depot or Lowes. It is just about the best cleaner for carpet, seats, and upholstery that I have found. Not much I can't get out with it. Not sure if you can dilute it to make it go a little further maybe someone else can help with that? And yes an extractor saves a huge amount of time. Just make sure u leave the windows or doors open until dry. Good luch and with any more questions feel free to check in.

That is what I use. Lowe's has them in an easy to find location and they are not expensive.
