Grass in Trunk Carpet

[davisautodetail]

One of the hardest things to get out are dried blades of grass and other such embedded particles.

I was curious if anyone had found a really good vacuum attachment for getting these out? I usually just run the hose attachment over and over until it breaks loose, but I was thinking maybe some sort of "comb" attachment would work better. The trunk carpet is that really tight fiber stuff, and loves to hang on to stuff.

Thanks!

The Tornador vac works well if you have a compressor.

I do in the shop, but I'm mobile too, so I'd really like to find something you can use as a vac attachment (shopvac type.)

Would a pet hair attachment be useful?

Possibly. are you talking about the ones that sort of has a bunch of rubberish fingers?

The biggest challenge with stuff like grass (and I guess pet hair) is that is finds its way beneath the fibers, so it sort of becomes part of the carpet.

I use a brush and my shop vacuum at the same time works good.

I'll give that a shot, thanks! Doing a car tomorrow that's supposed to be pretty dirty, so that'll give me a chance to try some techniques.

Tornador blow out gun works great. If no air available I use a horse hair brush and vacuum.

Thanks guys, I'll give the brush a try first and see how it goes.
