Here is my situation. My girlfriend just got a car that needs a good cleaning. The interior is awfull!!! The previous owner had 2 kids that spilled milk, juice, soda and God knows what else on the seats and carpet. I need to know what is the best carpet-cloth seats cleaner to use. I will be using the Bissell little green machine.

This will be my biggest interior project ever. I want to do it right the first time, so your tips, tricks, and ideas would be great



Thanks

If you are using the little green steamer, that should be enough to take the stains out. You should not have to do any scrubbing. I would pre-treat the tough areas with Meg`s APC then use a 50/50 solution water mix in the tank. This method works exremely well and I have never ran into a stain I could not remove.



Have fun. :wavey

I`m curious ... for those of you that do have the Little Green, do you use the Meg`s APC instead of the Bissell solution?

I cleaned a car a while back that the owner had a bottle of milk spill in the back seat carpet. needless to say she left it there for a LONG time and the milk spoiled:mad: I couldnt get the stain or the Smell out with the APC, I did look better but not all the way gone. She ended up gettin new carpet because the smelll was making her sick after her car sat out on hot days....wooof
