    I somewhat agree. First vacuum it, to take the bit stuff like pebbles – not like this video where he bruckes it all around. Then if you have tough spots (hair, small specs of dust etc.) the brush will actually help loosening it up. If you just continie vacuuming hard, you will lightly scruff the surface of the carpet and damage it. The brush method is much more gentle. I have a brush to put directly on the vacuum hose, and it works a treat!

  3. this is a bit extensive, really all you need to do is get a shop-vac and run over the floorboard, no need to “brush it” that’s just stupid really if you have a good vacuum then you wont need to “loosen” the dirt or debris.

  4. Ridiculous, how the hell have 65 people liked this video. Who on earth does not know how to vacuum a carpet. Right I’m off to go make a video on ‘how to turn the vacuum on’.

  5. This is part of an entire series. If you don’t like it, don’t watch. Why would you have clicked on a video titled Car Cleaning Tips : How to Clean Car Carpet if you alrady knew how or it was so easy? Cut the guy some slack, he did a nice job

  6. love the start of the vid- “hello- today were going to”- its the same guy, same clothes, same car, same gloves and its all the SAME DAY- why not just say “in this video we are going to address the …. but i keep watching all of these at work and just busted out laughing

  7. @boxerSubaru I have removed the carpet from the car before, but for a Jaguar you have to nearly tear the car apart. EVERY piece of carpet is held on by screws and tabs that extend from the console to the seats. Whenever the weather subsides, I will probably do this so that the padding on the backside can dry. The backside of the carpet has a fire resistant padding that takes DAYS to dry out.

  8. @2710Pocahontas i love that color match of your car carpet, mine is light grey…i am lucky it got brand new after 2 buckets of mud and i got rid of the bad smell. then I restored it back perfectly. that’s the only way of cleaning your car carpet thoroughly, maybe it sounds hard to remove the carpet from the car, but it is worth.

  9. @boxerSubaru I have a 1992 Jaguar xj6 and I was SO stupid to put my interior carpet in the washing machine on the gentle cycle in warm water. I had a mess on my hands. The edges of the carpet were not bound and the carpet started to unravel. The only thing that I hate about my interior carpet is that it is a light beige and it gets filthy every time it rains. I have decent car mats, but they don’t help but so much.

  10. well, i took all the car carpet out of the car, i washed it twice with liquid soap and soft brush, rinsed with pressurized water and then sucked the water with carpet cleaning machine 3 to 4 times…i got two buckets full of dark water with mud
