What is the best way to clean cloth interior without a shampoo machine?
My truck is a 95 Z-71 with Gray cloth interior. I took both of my door panels off yesterday to fix inside door handle issues that I have been having. I also removed the driver seat to fix the frame that is broken on it.
While I have the door panels off and the seat out, I would like to clean everything and clean it good. I don't daily drive this truck anymore, so I'm not in a hurry to get it back together. What can I use to scrub my interior carpets, seats and door panels with to get them clean again? I thought about maybe a solution of dishwashing liquid and water or some type of carpet cleaner stuff from the auto parts store. I wish I could take it down to the detail shop and have it cleaned, but I don't really have the money. Any do it yourself tips you guys can provide? Thanks. |

Re: What is the best way to clean cloth interior without a shampoo machine?
I had my seats out a few months ago and decided to give them a good cleaning. My seats are gray also. I mixed up some Oxy Clean and sprayed then down with the water hose. Scrubbed them down with a brush. Then rinsed them off and let them sit in the sun to dry. They looked like new seats when they went back in.

Re: What is the best way to clean cloth interior without a shampoo machine?
It may sound silly, but earlier this year I had a Dodge Dakota and needed to clean the seats. Spoke with a local upholstry shop and he told me to take the seat covers off and take them to the laundromat. Well, I did what he said and the seats came out looking great. Of course I had to pay him to put the covers back on, but they looked good.
