    If Woolite 10:1 doesnt work for the carpet mats, and DP total interior cleaner doesnt work for the interior carpet, then Folex is the way to go.

    This was done with folex and my first time using the bissell little green machine..



    I'm sure the commercial stuff is alot better than the LGM, but for the weekend warrior I think its a great thing.. I was honestly going to throw those floor mats away and try to find an OEM set ('93 Cobra, well over $100/pair if you can even find them). Probably could've done even better if I had a brush for my PC..

    Just thought I add my expereince with stuborn stains. For some stains that seem impossible to get out or those marks on the doors from peoples shoes when getting out of their car, I use brake cleaner. I know sounds crazy right? But it works. You do have to be careful though because it could ruin the carpets. So do a very small test area to make sure it's not going to do any harm. Also, when I got the stain out I use a little soap and water to make sure nothing is left behind just for insurance. Defintatly probably something not to use on the whole carpet but just for those small spots or when the rest of the carpet is clean except those little spots.

    You can pick up something at Wal-Mart, it is made by rubbermaid. It is in the hardware section, Carpet and Upholstery cleaner. I use it everyday.

    Though, AL-53 Suggested that I use a carpet/upholstery product from ZEP, found at Lowes. Said it is cheaper and works just as good, if not better. SO when my gallon runs out, I will be trying that.

    Folex is good stuff, but expensive IMHO. I still carry it with me though...lol
