• Carpet shampoo/ cleaner is one of the upholstery cleaners that are widely used to clean not only the upholstery of the car seats but also the carpet of the car. Carpet cleaners contain detergent and surfactant that penetrate into the carpet fabric to loosen the dirt. Carpet cleaner not only removes the stains but also restores the original color and the softness and the plush feeling of the fabric.
• Clean the whole carpet. Mix a spray bottle that consists of 1/4 cup of vinegar, 1 tsp. of dish detergent, and top the container off with hot water. Spray the entire carpet and then work the solution in with a hard bristled brush. Do this in a circular motion and work from one side of the car carpet to the other. Allow the solution to penetrate the carpet for thirty minutes. Blot the entire carpet with dry towels. If the weather permits it, leave the windows of your car open until the carpet is completely dry. This should take approximately twenty-four hours.

• Blot stains up as they happen. The longer you leave stains in the carpet of your car the harder they will be to remove.
• Consider adopting a "no food in the car" policy. Be proactive by refraining from eating foods that will drip or leave crumbs on the seats.
• Trapped irrigate, habitually under the carpet, produces a musty odour. It in addition leads to oxidization in the stream of point in time. Remove the carpet and dry up both the carpet as well as the floor of the car to prevent oxidization and odour emanation.
