for products to ship!

what are some great recommendations for interior shampoos for seats/ floor mats that work really well?

Need something to remove salt/ the typical floor mat stains. I've seen how well wolfgang carpet and upholstery restorer works but dont have time to wait for it.

What can I pick up at a advance auto/pep boys/ target/ walmart etc that anyone had good luck with?
Feed back please
thanks!

Is it still snowing where you live?:confused: :laughing:

Since you can't wait...OTC stuff like ArmorAll, Turtle Wax, Meguiar's, etc. have some carpet cleaning products available at the stores you listed. Also, your local janitorial supply stores have some products you may want to try.

da carpet brush+apc 1:15 and a terry cloth towel to wipe up. The terry cloth towel picks up a fair bit of the stain. I went with the Aqua soft brush. works on plastic, vinyl, door cars, ect. Even soft carpets or seats. I haven't tried it on swede, but its great on leather and cloth seats.

Someone here described Folex as witchcraft is a bottle and after I finally tried it I absolutely agree with that description. It is now my go to product for interiors.

That may be painful and require getting them drunk first!

@11jetta- I use a bissel little green (a cheap extractor) along w/ a wetvac b/c the vaccum on that extractor sucks but I find the solution to be pretty effective lol. I would love a commercial vapor steamer or extractor but thats not in the budget. whatever the extractor doesnt get out, I hit up with folex, which works wonders!

Folex has got to be the BEST stuff I've ever used! I love it! Great suggestion!

Lowe's has gallon sizes?? I'll have to go there, Folex works great, usually hit the stain with it, let it soak, and usually they come right out (well if it's recent, the 4 year old drink stains in most mini-vans I think are permanent).
