- Fri Sep 21, 2012 4:47 am #316148 this post most likely and technically should go in chassis or interior, but i feel like its not worthy,

i took out my carpets like a week ago all seats plastic trims and what not,
and what do i find? OLD COOKIES crumbled OREOS and hardened "ROCKS" / boulders if you will, of sand and dirt... -___-
kinda made me mad at the previous owner would treat a car like that,
lol some how getting oreos UNDER the CARPET. lol


BUT ANYWAYS the problem im having is i want to clean this sh*t out (just the dirt) the dirt is so hard it takes so long to scrub off with a wet rag .
the only solution i could think of is like sanding them off.
can anybody think of any CHEAP or even better basically free solutions,
theyre really hardened layers of dirt idk how to further explain them lol

want to avoid power washing it too. prob not a fun or good idea

- Fri Sep 21, 2012 10:24 am #316163 are you trying to clean the carpet or under it ?

as far as the carpet goes you can get some citris clean ( might be named something else) and mist it over your carpets and lightly scrub with a vinyl carpet brush then power wash it and then extract with a wet dry shop vac.

as far as on the seat pans and the floor boards you can try soaking it in the water/citris clean solution for a few mins and then trying at it.
