Vehicle shampooer

What do you use if you wanted to shampoo your vehicles carpet?

I used a pet spot cleaner for my Sequoia. It worked pretty well. It was an older version of this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q2MKX5C/re ... vDb7JEH4BJ

I borrowed it from my boss.

It's bee a while since I've been there, but we have a carwash in town that has (or at least had) shampooers with the vacuums.

Since I’m not coaching I have took it upon myself to get my wife’s car about every week and wash it and clean it out. I haven’t shampooed any of my vehicles carpet....not a one. So I was thinking about buying one to do them all and then have as I need it.

Everything I saw said spot cleaner. I was thinking a little more heavy duty but had no idea if that’s what I do need.

It’s just she’s gonna be working crazy hours, and have people in her car, I know she isn’t gonna have time and then feel bad constantly about her car...so I might as well clean it for her and safe the money.

Was kind of liking this one with the heat. I bet I can even find carpet cleaner that makes it smell like a new car!

Yeah, that Little Green Pro is supposed to work well. I have one of their older ones for use around the house and it does a good job, but mine is a bit bulky for use in a car. The LGP should be better in that aspect.

That's exactly what I used I jus posted the blue version. Lol


I had 2 complaints about it. First it's LOUD, and second the hose is a little short for cars which means I had to keep it closer to me while I worked. Which made the first problem worse.

This is good info. I really need to clean out the Monti carpet. It nasty.

Benefit of having black carpets. Don't notice how dirty it is.

That being said, the XJ has grey ones. Could do with a good cleaning.

Thats a nice job. Im not so worried about the mats as it only takes 1 min with a high pressure washer and they look like new. Trying to clean the carpet that is bolted down would be a real pain.

[Chris GTO TT]

Yeah that's why I did this I didn't want to pull the bolted in carpet and there was a bit of pet accident funk in the cargo area. This really helped get rid of the smell along with getting out a lot of dirt. I only did the mats with it because I don't have a pressure washer.

[ChargerX3]

Nice. How does it work in the house? I would have to convince the wife, so she would keep it in the house and not in my busy garage. lol.

Wait did you just complement me over saying “google it”? This thread is the reason I don’t, I can read google, I want feedback.

Those mats look exactly the same, at least picture wise.

No, mostly about what Chris has been posting. Its good stuff. Congrats on starting a thread about a struggle I relate to though.

Didn't use it in the house at all. I borrowed it from my boss specifically to clean the carpet in the Sequoia

The picture is a bit deceiving overall the carpet is much cleaner and has much less of a brown tint to it.

I have the predecessor to this and it works pretty well. Used it on the pull a part seats I put in the fozzy and it pulled all kinds of junk out. Basically what Chris posted but two times on each seat.
