I just bought a 99 2dr 2wd tahoe. The inside is quite filthy. The carpet being the worse. I`ve detailed on the outside alot. But as far as the inside. It was mainly just vaccum, etc.

I will have some pictures up later on today.



What should I use to go about cleaning my carpet? stains, etc.

Vacuum your interior thoroughly (important). Start in a small section and mist Folex on it. Get a small brush with softer bristles and agitate the carpet, like how you wash your hair. Let it dwell for 10 - 15 minuts. Take a small towel, run it under hot water and ring it out. Then start scrubbing the dirt out of the carpet. If I were going to clean carpet with little to no tools thats how I would do it.

So could I ust just folex and a bissel little green man? Or should I go ahead by a steamer and extractor? If so, what kind? I`m on a budget as well.

If you`re on a budget the cheapest option is to use your wet/dry vac to extract.
