What Is The Best Interior Car Carpet Cleaner?

I'm looking for a interior carpet cleaner. The carpet surrounding my floor mats is filthy from all of the winter/snow/ice/salt crap hitting them from my shoes. Any suggestions that are easy to apply and rub out?

You have to use common sense here. Car dirt is no different than house dirt. to pay anything more than a good rug cleaner from Amazon or your grocery store is a waste of money.

This is fine:

Carpro Inside works on everything interior, foams when sprayed, works great and smells nice.

Folex....



They sell it at Lowes, Depot, Walmart, True Value, etc for like $6/bottle. I've tried a bunch of different kinds and this is the best stuff for the money. I used to work for a flooring company and Folex worked better than the $20/bottle "professional" stuff they gave us to spot clean carpet. I've bought used cars with really gross carpet full of coffee/oil stains and this stuff took it right out with a little scrubbing.

Resolve carpet cleaner works better than anything else I've used inside my house. It removes grease spots pretty well too.

The best thing I found for cleaning is to go to ebay and type in "drill brush"

It's not a cleaner, but the white brush has been used on several items.

Well worth the $10 bucks.

Professional products work better than grocery store products. I don’t understood why people pay grocery retail prices for diluted cleaning products.

Cleaning solutions should cost 2 cents per oz. This is what I pay in my business expenses. Check the price per oz of Resolve carpet cleaner at grocery.

The best carpet cleaner I have found is Chemical Guys Fabric Clean. The smell is minimal, and it works very well. I just cleaned the carpets in an RV. The owner used all grocery store products and could not get the stains out. I got them out with one pass using CG Fabric Clean.
