Removing old stains from boot carpet

PrettyBoy

Hi guys,

I got a new car recently and the carpet in the boot is looking a bit worse for wear (apologies for the poor pictures).





As you can see, there are various stains throughout. I couldn't tell you exactly what the stains are but I'm guessing most are mud and maybe some kind of fizzy drinks. I'm looking for advice on how how I should tackle this. I'm guessing that some of the stains have been there for years so I'm not sure if there's any hope of getting them out now? I'd like to remove as much of the staining as I can and get the fabric looking as spotless as possible.

Looking for any advice here on cleaning methods, products, etc.

Thanks

A good upholstery cleaner, lots of elbow grease, plenty of water to rinse and a wet vacuum cleaner to gather up the mess at the end.

As above really. You want low foaming cleaning product, majority of upholstery cleaner would be this. If you have a high foaming product it will continue to foam in the material for ages.

If the weather was really good, you could remove it, use the cleaner, give it a good scrub, power wash it clean and leave out to dry
