Anyone tried the Little Green to wash the carpets?

I might buy it and try in a couple of weeks when it's hotter outside.

I think it would work really well to shampoo the carpets wouldnt it?

How do you guys do it?

Thx

i just did mine in the front loader last week. I wasn't terribly impressed. Yeah, they were clean, but I feel they get cleaner when i do them by hand.

I just use a water hose, some liquid dish soap, a stiff brush, and some elbow grease. that's the way i get them the cleanest.

washing machine ain't terrible though.

Once you remove those carpets, there's still the "carpet floor".

How do you take care of that?

you put the floormats back on. haha.

you can spot treat it with resolve spray or something. just use as little h2o as possible. and be sure to let it get good and dry before putting those mats back on top.

Folex

Folex (sold at home depot or lowes) is an amazing product. No smell, no residue and awesome cleaning power. Try it on your floors, seats, headliner and you'll never use anything else.
