I am buying a 1993 suburban from my dad. It's really a good truck with a rebuilt engine and transmission. Also comes witth the snow plow. Downside is that it was a work truck and shows it. This is our new family trip vehicle because it will fit us and fits my budget. I have three young kids and want it clean. What is the best of the best ways to clean this up?

I had good luck with my wife's carpet cleaner with hose attachment, get a good cleaner and use hot water. good luck.

For really dirty seats and carpet I first spray with warm water. Next I spray with Castrol Fast Purple or Zep. Scrub that with a stiff brush then suck all the cleaner out with the carpet cleaner but a wet vac would do the same thing. Then I put the garden hose sprayer on mist and keep spraying and vacuuming til the water runs clear. The trick is to not let it get saturated.

Best to do it on a sunny summer day though!

In our detail shop we use hot water and dawn dish soap, its mild, grease cutter, and cuts the dirt without damaging the color or fabric. Take a wash mit and clean the seats, carpet and door panels. Then take your shop vac and go over the surface.

I agree with the dawn thing, I would say getting it steamed wouldnt be a bad idea though if you could eventually. I had to take my carpet out cuz it smelled like old boots and other things. Lol

what I did was if you really cant get the stains out grab some upholstery spray paint for the carpet and just colour match it then spray when needed

Liquid Tide breaks down grease and oil as well as anything I've tried.
