Where/what wet vac to rent?

ger10

Hey,

I have a car with a couple of light stains on the seats. I tried using some cleaning products from halfords and it only makes it worse. That stuff that foams up and you leave for thirty seconds.
The upholstery is kind of cheap looking (Mazda 3 2008) and I'm afraid of damaging it.
I'm thinking of renting from here http://hirehere.ie/vacuum-cleaners
Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

You could try a rug doctor from B&Q? Ask a detailer first, might not suit your seats.

Provided you are local to that hirehere.ie place, 25 quid a day to rent a wet vac machine is quite good....provided you get small attachments. They might only provide a large attachment for doing large carpeted areas. Collect it first thing, and go over the car twice with it, as often when the seats dry out from the first attempt, it can leave a tide line from the area from dry-wet. So if you were willing to do a full day with it, doing the carpet, seats, matts it would be worth it.

Given you've said they are light stains, Id try something like Chemical Guys Fabric Clean - diluted down 1 part to 5 parts water, I found it quite good. Spray on, scrub with a nail brush, wipe off with a microfibre cloth. First attempt will usually do it, but if it was something like milk or yogurt if its from kids, repeat two or three times, it should do the job!

They do a great one in woodies, costs about €50 including all the cleaner, different heads etc. Never used in on the car but im goin valeting all the family and friends cars the weekend after next and its the unit il be hiring.
Did all the carpets in the house with it last summer, the difference is unbelievable.

Another option
Lidl are doing a 1400w wet vac for under €60

You'll have to spray the cloth with a bottle full of cleaner first
