My civic has dirty carpet because it was driven so long with out any floor mats.
So i rented the "rug" doctor cleaning machine.

I went over it with it and i pitched the water and it was straight brown but the carpet looked no different. So i borrowed a friends green machine and bought some woolite dual can cleaner, and I let it soak for about 5 mins then used a mr clean scrub brush and worked it in then went over it with bissel cleaner in the green machine. The water looks like I never cleaned it before.

Any past experiences and tips?

 

On how to clean the carpet that is and really get the stains out?

 

Just buy new carpet.

 

or take it up to a professional cleaner if they're that hard to get out

 

Cost money, i'd rather DIY
Again cost money. 200 bucks for new carpet? be real now.

I used tough stain remover from bissel, soaked it for 5 minutes, sprayed some coral blue cleaner foamed it up. let it sit. took a hard brissel bush and work it in real good.
Got a little green machien cleaner and filled it with hot water and bissel solution and went over it.

Car smells good but still stained.

HELP?

 

Get new floor mats to put over the stains?

 

Eh, I have clear all weather mats. So they show through them.

just trying to get it nice.

 

Some pics of the problems might help us help you. Dirty can mean anything.

 

Heres a pic. Notice the brown on the driver side floor? its all over, the back floors and the same.

 

my carpet was not that bad when I used a rug doctor on it but the stains dont come out right away. I used the regular carpet cleaner with a 4:1 mix and not the 8:1 they say to use. If that does not work try the Hi-Traffic Pre-Treatment spray on it. Like all things, the longer you spend on it, the better it looks. Id try the doc again with a less dilute mixture and then the spray if it does not work.

 

i have probably spent about 3-4 hours on it all together.
Thanks for the tips
Im going to look for more stain remover things.

 

try using blue coral..its a bottle dat they sell at advance and auto zone..it worked out fine 4 me but mines werent that brown but all my panels were and now they look super clean..its a white and blue bottle with a blue plastic brush ..give it a try..might work

 

i did use it. No luck.
Idk if these are just to far gone?
I hope not

 

i would dye the carpet

 

lol i just want the stains out in this carpet. [:

 

i used a small bucket of watter, and brush, some tied powderd soap. first i sprincle the powdered soap on carpet. then i dif a hard brush in watter and start scrubbing then rince it off with a hose

 

Spray out with a hose?

 

you can try posting on the detailing section, maybe they'll know some good solutions

 

Will do.
Its hard finding people here to help.
With all the a$$holes on here.

 

What I did was took all my carpet out, soaked it all with a good round of Tuff Stuff, threw it in the back of a truck, took it to a car wash, and pressure washed it until no more "stuff" came out. Then, I let it dry overnight and put in back in. Looked good as new

 

Im going to do this. Where can I find the tuff stuff? How do I go about taking the carpet out?

 

Take out seats, center console trim, door sills. I need clean mine too but im lazy. Got some OEM Honda mats and you would never know how dirty is it underneath.

 

dye it black man !

 

Honda doesn't make them anymore.
Ive been looking on ebay for some with a good price.
SO far no luck.

Would I have to take the carpet out?

 

of course you'd have to take the carpet out to dye it.

these people are just tryin to help you out.

some stains are just IN THERE.

try soaking it with that tuff stuff and pressure washing it out.

and if it bothers you that much, just throw some floor mats over it (not clear ones) or buy new carpet.
