| Post subject: | Carpet Cleaning |
I just completed using my steam vac to attept to clean the snap in carpet. This is what I have done in the past. It is ok, but no matter how many cycles I do, I keep getting dark water returned. Sure it looks ok, but evidently there is still a significant amout of residual dirt, and it certainly doesn't exactly look new. Someone told me they used their power washer at a somewhat low setting to clean their carpet with very good results. They just put the carpet on an inclined driveway and made their way down with sequential passes. I wonder if any of you all have tried this and what results or problems you encountered. Isn't there some concern about damage and fraid ends? |

We have used our power washer as well to clean our carpet. We use some household detergent and a scrub brush at first, then use a power washer to clean it out. We hang the carpet over a ladder in the driveway when its time to rinse and let dry. |

+1 to Dallas. Scrub the main stains or dirty areas first, then simply power wash it in the driveway and hang over the gates to dry for a day or so. |

Same here, but I stick with Woolite. I found it is the easiest cleaning product on the carpet and it doesn't leave as much residue as other products. |

We have a Windsor Professional cleaner we kept from our rental store and I would not use any other thing for carpets that is out right now. |

+1 to the power washer. Used Oxi Clean on it and didn't have any damage/frayed ends. |

When the backing started to go on our carpet I noticed a bit of it would get pulled up by the vacuum. When using a pressure washer make sure you're not blasting the backing apart. |

Yeah, I'm sure its not the backing - I haven't pressure washed it, though I might at the end of this season. |

Oes the carpet "snap" out of a 94' horizon? I have only had it a few months and haven't cleaned the carpet yet. |

CaptainEast, I don't think it does on a boat that old. Most boats that age have carpet glued to a plywood floor. My '97 has the carpet/wood floor. Newer models have a molded fiberglass sole (floor) which has carpet pieces that fit over with snaps to hold it in place. |
