Vacuum thoroughly, treat stains, then shampoo or extract the carpet and let it dry fully. Half-dried carpet is how musty smells start.
Why car carpet gets so dirty
Every step brings in dirt, sand and moisture that sinks to the base of the fibers where a quick vacuum can't reach.
A proper deep clean
- Remove mats and vacuum in multiple directions
- Pre-treat stains
- Shampoo or hot-water extract
- Extract as much moisture as possible
- Dry completely before driving
When to book a pro
