- 1). Vacuum the carpet. Your goal here is to pick up as much dry dirt as possible.
- 2). Pretreat the stains. Different products work better for different types of stains. Spray hair spray on any ink stains then blot up with a towel. For coffee stains, glass cleaner can be sprayed then blotted up.
- 3). 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.
- 4). Allow the solution to penetrate the carpet for thirty minutes.
- 5). 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. Repeat this entire process at least once every six months.
