    Best carpet/upholstery cleaner?

    I've had a few filthy cars where I removed 95% of the stains yet the customer sees one left behind and acts like I didn't do crap. What is the best product to use? I use LAs Awesome carpet cleaner or LAs all purpose cleaner mixed with their oxygen power and it does great. What techniques do yall use?

    Folex, it's really a spot cleaner but I use it to clean the entire interior.
    Not many spots it can't remove.
    $5.00 at Lowe's

    Removes coffee stains, ink, wine , pretty much anything.
    Another must have product.

    Folex for spot cleaning CG fabric clean for most interiors.

    If your clients are not happy with your interior work you might want to start further explaining that some stains cannot be removed before you start on their vehicles.

    At the moment I only have the little Bissell shampoo cleaner. I also do scrubbing by hand.
    I was told an extractor would work but I thought u have to have a generator to run it. Im just working out of my garage.
