One way to clean the carpets I guess

Oh yeah... the lovely acetic acid smell that will permeate the freshly power washed carpeting. Body seam sealer buddy... Body seam sealer - not silicone.

Probably putting a For Sale Sign in the window next mornign any way.

Would be really funny, if he did not dry acrpet all the way. Park it out in sun and totally fog up interior...

How is his problem with extractors that they leave the carpet too wet?....he just drenches them??

I like the idea
Was going to do it when cleaning my carpets recently but found out that my foam sound deadener is bonded to the carpet which put me off.
I have done it with floor mats & I'm sure I'm not the only one?
Hell I even saw someone once (on here I think) pressure-washing seats!

Would be interesting for someone with the time, tools & curiosity to clean their carpets as good as possible with an extractor then pressure wash to see if anything (dirt, soap residue, etc) is left behind...

I have a 94' BMW E34 & recently priced up replacement carpet.
Rear section is $650, front section is no longer available & after hours of searching it would seem NOONE makes an aftermarket carpet for this car.
Spoke to a retrimmer who quoted around $1000AUD to custom make me a carpet.
So replacement is not always viable

Also, when cleaning my carpet (& getting really fussy) I always feel like I am leaving SOME residual cleaner behind, no matter how much I rinse & vac (using a pump-up pressure sprayer & wet/dry vac)
Off-topic but maybe you guys have a solution for that?

This is funny. I think I saw this guy! Or someone just like him. Last week I was at the pay-n-spray and someone had a whole cars beige carpet (exactly like the one in the video) and they were trying to rig it to "hang" on the wall of the pay-n-spray so they could pressure wash it and have all the liquid run off.

Removing a carpet is a lot of work, and under the seats should be pretty clean.

Use Folex. You don't have to remove all of it. It won't leave the carpet stiff if some is left.

If I went through all the trouble of removing the entire carpet... I'd just go ahead and replace it.

I agree !!!

That's how the detail department at my job does... remove the whole carpet. They do it for used cars mostly and only for cars that must have trashed interiors. You can eat off the carpet in my car, lol.

Not sure we have that in Australia but will have a hunt around.
Have heard it talked about a lot on here...
