I have two cars and they are both daily's. Haha! I need to clean the interiors of both of them - BADLY! I'm actually disgusted that I've let them get so bad. The vibe has a bunch of salt residue between the rubber floor mat and the door threshold where your dripping feet glide over when you get in and out. I'm gonna just do em right and take the seats out and start fresh.

I've got a tool for that. It's from China and is a clone of those Tornado cleaners, but mine hooks to a vacuum to pull away the dirty nasty water and gunk. It works really well! I need to pickup some non sudsing carpet and upholstry cleaner and odor eliminator to mix into car cleaning solution for it, if you weren't so far I'd invite you over to the barn to go through your car either it. I'll be doing mine and my aunties some nice weekend days soon.

I'll find it when I'm.homr. ****ing mobile keyboard buoldj95.

The exact one I got but now look around and there's similar ones with the vacuum attachment for cheaper, a lot cheaper, this one seems fairly sturdy though and looks entirely rebuildable as well.

And it cleans textured engine cover plastics like a boss man, makes them look brand new again!

Interesting! I'm having a hard time finding a cheaper one, but my birthday is coming up! c:

How good does it work on cloth seats or carpet/floor mats compared to a brush, bucket of water, degreaser, and a shop vac (my normal/awesome method)?

I used some general purpose citric acid based degreaser that's not meant for that machine, so yea some proper cleaner would probably work way better. I cleaned a floor mat, it took out ALL of the ground in sand and grit, and cleaned the two office chairs and changed them from brown to burgundy!

I'm waiting for nicer hotter weather to use on my cars so damp will dry faster, it sucks out most of the water but not all of it and damp and cold bad combo, fogging glass and what not. I was going to pickup some stuff from Menards, some cleaner and some deoderizer too so my cars smell nice and clean, the Mazda has a little of the old car smell sometimes.

Damn... You have me REALLY wanting to buy it. That Bissell stuff has a good clean smell too it, not too strong. Did it sud up too much when you used the degreaser?

I LOVE AMMO NYC!
I did try the vinegar mixture but mine must've been some crazy salt because it didn't do much so I threw them in the washing machine and that did the trick.

But seriously, thank you! I never knew about salt and vinegar. I'll have to give that a try. I'm wondering if lemon juice would have the same affect (acid). Either way, I bet the acid method would work GREAT with that tool that Jordan shared with us!

Yeah the degreaser was sudsy, didn't like that. The water that sucked out was straight black from the office chairs, like not even dirty brown just straight black. It was absolutely disgusting.

So satisfying seeing that. I bought a Bissell Big Green carpet cleaner when we were living in our rental house previously before we moved and that thing is AWESOME!!!

That's a very good point. I like taking the seats out and getting it 100%, such a good feeling.

Oh, I just ordered the cleaner... I'll update my likes/dislikes when it gets here from China. I spent the extra $3 to order with PayPal so that I can get my money back easily if it doesn't show up or it's broke to pieces.
