Carpet/Upholstery Cleaners?

[shelshel]

Can anyone tell me what Carpet cleaner they use that can be used with a spray bottle. I know an extractor is the thing to use but I don`t want to spend that kind of money and I don`t want to use the Woolite solution...tried that before and found it difficult to remove the solution. I feel it`s best to go with a dedicated carpet cleaner.



So many choices and I wanted to go with the tried and proven ones that work for Autopians.

I use the 303 Carpet Spray. You can get it premixed in the 32 oz bottle for $8, just to see if you like it. If it does what you want it to do, then you can get the full-strenth gallon for $40, and make your own (I use the 15/1 ratio).

If you want to go that route, there are a few at the local supermarket`s (Woollite, Resolve, etc).



Auto Parts Stores usually carry some as well (altough in spray cans = foam).

For OTC stuff, I have had good luck with Folex and you can buy it at home centers (.e.g. Home Depot, Lowes, etc.)



I think this is the same stuff as 303??

I use TurtleWax Power OUT! cleaner.... available at any autozone.



Flame suit on.

I don`t usually subcribe to a `best` of any car care product but 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover comes very close.



My 2nd `best` carpet cleaner is using the hottest water available and using a pre-soak solution

I got some ZEP heavy traffic carpet cleaner from home depot...



Love it. It`s one of the nicest carpet cleaners I`ve ever tried...



I`m doing it the same way you are shelshel, with a shopvac...

Has anyone ever tried the carpet cleaners from Top of the Line and if so how do they work? The prices seem reasonable.

Check out Adam`s Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner.

Second here for Adam`s Carpet + Upholstery Cleaner. No foaming, effective for spots, and no smell at all.

3rd for Adams.

I use Blue Coral Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner. I prefer to use the spray bottle version, which can be found at Pep Boys for a few dollars. I find it to be very effective at cleaning both floor mats and interior carpeting, plus it has a clean, fresh scent. I have leather in all of my vehicles, so I cannot say how it performs on cloth seats.

i have to agree with JM19. Blue Coral has been working pretty well for me too. And it does smell great. I have`nt tried anything else yet exept for woolite so i cant comment on anything else.

Where can you buy the gallon size?

The 303 Rug Cleaner is diluted/repackaged 303 Aerospace Cleaner, which can be found at CMA, among other places.
