Decided to pull the seats today and shampoo the carpet in the LS. It was very much needed:



Driver side:


Another driver side pic: (Towards the bottom right of the pic, that really dark spot, is actually a little bit of mold from something that had spilt some time ago...):


Passenger side:


Canned foam cleaner before the actual shampooer:


Passenger side, after. (forgot to take pics of the "after" driver's side, let's just say, it looks nothing like the before pic):

(EDIT: Thanks. Looks hell of a lot better now. Still some stains but much better!)

Took me about 5-10 minutes for the rear seat and about 5 minutes for the fronts.

Time all together, excluding waiting time for foam to soak in and drying was about an hour. (EDIT: ~ 1:20)

Roughly 15-20 minutes for seat removals and about 30-40 minutes for shampooing. (EDIT: 15-20 min seat removal, 15-20 min seat install)

There were quite a few spots that I had to spend a little extra time on.

I borrowed my brother's Brissel upholstery shampooer, so I just got some Brissel heavy duty/high traffic spot cleaner shampoo.
