Carpet care is important for your car’s health, and it’s also a great way to reduce allergy symptoms. Here are some tips on how to clean carpet and seats:
1. Vacuum regularly. This will help remove dust, dirt, and pet dander from the carpet.
2. Bleach your carpet periodically. Mix one cup of bleach with one gallon of water and pour it into a spray bottle. Spray the bleach solution onto the area you want to clean, let it sit for five minutes, then scrub with a brush. Be sure to rinse the area well before allowing it air dry.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner with a beater bar attachment if needed. Use this attachment to help get deep down into areas that are difficult to reach with a regular vacuum cleaner nozzle.
4. Use an enzyme-based cleaner on particularly dirty or stained carpets. Be sure to test the cleaner on a small section first to make sure it won’t damage the fabric! Dilute the cleaner according to directions before using it on your carpets.
5. If you must bring in furniture or equipment that has been wet, wait 24 hours before cleaning it so the moisture has time to dissipate completely
How to Wash Seats
If you live in a city, chances are that the water that’s used to clean the streets and sidewalks also gets sprayed on your car. But just because the water is dirty doesn’t mean it’s good enough to wash your car with.
To be safe, follow these steps when washing your car:
1. Fill a bucket with cool water and add a few drops of soap. Swish the water around to mix the soap and then scrub the surface of your car with a sponge.
2. Rinse off the soap residue with cool water. If you have clay soil on your car, use a clay bar or plunger to clean it off.
3. Pour lukewarm water onto the cleaned surface of your car and spritz it with a garden hose nozzle. Wet down all the areas that need to be wetted before rinsing off with cold water.
4. Towel dry your car by using a large towel or an air-drying mat. Don’t let any dirt or dust stick to the surface of your vehicle – this will aggravate shining later on!

When it comes to cleaning a car carpet and seats, there are a few tips that will help make the job easier. Start by disentangling any pet hair that may be tangled in the fabric.

Tips for Cleaning Seats
If you have pets, you know that they often leave their mark on the car seats. In fact, pet hair can actually be quite sticky and difficult to remove. Here are a few tips for cleaning car seats:
-Start by using a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool if needed. Pet hair tends to cling to surfaces so make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
-If soap and water don’t work, try a degreaser. Make sure to dilute it before using it, as too much liquid can damage the leather seat surface.
-Finally, use a scrub brush or a soft cloth to clean off any residue. Be careful not to scratch the leather!
