Carpets...
« on: 09 March 2012, 12:40 »
My carpets are flat, dirty and in need of a revival. Anybody got any tips, products or processes to get them back up and fluffy(ish) again
Will always love my mk4 but she had to go...225 Quattro TT in its place....but its still black (she lives on in spirit!)

Try a wet vac on them with an all purpose cleaner.

Yep as above, a nice carpet cleaner and a good scrub will get some life back into them. This brush is fantastic for scrubbing carpets:
