cleaning boot carpet

[skyrocketeer]

Has anyone wet-vac'd their ibiza boot carpet?

I'm tempted to try this as the car has a slightly doggy aroma, thanks to the previous owner. However I'm concerned that the foam backing will get saturated and take an age to dry out- particularly given the weather in the UK at the moment.

If it comes to it I might just replace it, as it's a bit squashed in placed - again thanks to the previous owner. Are these hard to come by?

If you have a steamer give that a try, without the worry of soaking the carpet through, im a dog owner and always steam the dog's bed and it works at knocking the smell down.

Might try the steamer approach.. we have a thingy the missus uses on the floors in the house. We've currently misted the carpet with a bicarb & vinegar concoction which she found on the interweb so it now smell like a chipshop as well

If you mean the one that you can easily remove and not the sides, I've cleaned it with water and carpet shampoo and it's fine. Just don't scrub a lot.

it's had a big dog sat on it for a good deal of it's past history, and isn't particularly flat, so I'm thinking it may be less grief to replace it in the long run..
