Default Whats a good carpet/Rug cleaner for 3GS interior

I have the light gray interior and my rugs are starting to get a little dirty. Any suggestions on products that I could use to clean them? Going to the store after work. Thanks

I've used Tough Stuff in the past with no problems....not on my GS350, but on several other cars.
I haven't had my GS350 long enough to use Tough Stuff on it yet.

Good luck

subscribed.

I know that spray degreaser is actually the best cleaner for dark grime stains on carpet. (Then shampoo as normal) It works immediately and will not damage the carpet.

I would like to add another question to this...

My car has light tan interior and is stained from a Hi-C fruit punch spill. I have not found anything to remove the red stain. Any suggestions? I am considering peroxide but have not tried it yet. The stain has been there for several months.

Folex is the best stuff I've found for carpets. Worked on tan and light grey mats in our other vehicles, including months of construction dust and red clay from when we built our house. Spray, scrub and rub, vacuum or rinse out.

I just use a Hoover Steam Cleaner with the Hoover carpet cleaning solution and it works great. AMAZING how much dirt is in those mats. The water was literally pitch black when I poured it out.

I agree. Tough stuff works great on any color carpet. I used it on a BMW with the same light gray interior and it works great.
