    First interior carpet and upholstery cleaning...

    I been only exterior but a friend wanted his truck details because he is selling it so he asked if I could do the inside as well. Since I just bought a vapamore 100 I thought I'll give it a go. Went to home depot and bought a pressure sprayer, some folex and a carpet brush. Got home and got to work. I forgot to take before pictures but it I thought I came out pretty well. Vacuumed first well because it was covered in dog hair and children's droppings (not poop but the normal food and stuff). Took me almost 2 hours but I got it done. Then got the elbow grease out along with my upholstery and carpet brush, spray bottle with warm water and a 1:30 mixture of simple green, folex, and Terrys(btw lesson learned that Terrys leave a lot of lint, which I vacuumed up after. Scrub and scrub and scrub some more using folex on the spots that were a little stubborn. Extracted with the shop vac with the claw attachment then steamed the doors and plastic areas. Dressed with a new bottle of nxt interior protectant that I found in my cabinet of products (been there for a while, remember I never did interiors). Here's some of the afters.

    Tomorrow I get to hit the outside (if it don't rain) and boy I got my work cut out for me. The water marks are pretty bad but I'm gonna give it hell! FYI I have a LGM coming in soon and I'm going to use that till I have money for a extractor.

    Love the way it came out! I am planning on getting an extractor soon in order to clean my Honda's seats filled with coffee! I use a citrus washer, a scrubbing brush, and dress it afterwards.

    Lot of work without an extractor. Shop vac and the claw tool worked better than I expected. I removed the seats and there was a brutal stain under the drivers seat. I got most of it out but it looks like it's been there for a while so you could still see some of it. Other than that I'm happy.
