Carpet and Leather Cleaning Product Recommendations?

[RRocket]

I use Leatherique 1-2 a year for a very thorough cleaning of my leather. But what can you guys recommend in between these major cleanings? I have used Lexol...but I'm not terribly fond of it. Is there anything better that does a good job at cleaning/conditioning without being as extensive as a Leatherique treatment?



And carpets and upholstery? I want something that will get out dirt and stains on light coloured carpets (tan). What says the peanut gallery??

Whats with all the leather threads recently....



I would look for a water based mild cleaner/ protectant for the leather.



As for the carpet... Prochem - Chemicals, Cleaning Machines and Truck Mounts

Welcome to Autopia, but we are far from a peanut gallery.



I think you need to look into Prochem for carpets for true deep cleaning.



Cheers,

Prestine clean for the leather.



Pick your flavor for the other. There plenty of good products that work well. Will you be using a hot water extractor?

No, sir. I'm just a car nut who loves keeping his cars clean. A hot water extractor seems a bit much for a hobbyist like me.

If you're not using a carpet extractor forget the prochem it needs heat.



Folex and a shop vac.

Ditto on folex and a shop vac. I did my mats that way and they looked like new.

x3 for Folex, a good carpet brush and a shop vac. Spot Shot works wonders too!

I got my folex at Target. I bet Lowe's would have it too.
