Car Care Products for Your Vehicle Carpet Problems

We've all been embarrassed to let people see the inside of our vehicles, knowing that the interior looks much less clean than we'd like it to. Months of neglect has left bits of garbage, gravel, old food wrappers, and other debris on our car's carpeting, making it look unkempt and dingy.

Having a regular car care routine and the right car care products that are not only effective, and healthier for you and the environment, is the way to avoid the shame associated with a messy vehicle. Whether you need a little guidance on regular car carpet maintenance or are looking for a greener alternative to harsh, chemical-smelling, potentially hazardous cleaning chemicals for your car’s carpeting, we’ve got the solutions for you.

Let us first walk you through some of the basic steps to keeping your carpeting clean on a regular basis. Follow these regular carpet cleaning steps to maintain like-new carpeting and upholstery throughout your vehicle:

1. Set up a regular cleaning schedule. You should plan to vacuum the carpeting and all upholstered surfaces in your car, truck, or SUV at least once a month. More frequent cleaning is likely required during periods of increased dirt traffic, such as winter or rainy season. This will keep dirt and debris from becoming deeply lodged in your carpet fibers and will make cleaning much easier from session to session.
2. Keep floor mats in place. Whatever you do, don't make the mistake of removing the mats from your vehicle. These perform the important task of taking the largest share of wear and will protect the rest of your vehicle from long-term wear and tear. They are also much easier to clean than the carpeting throughout the rest of your vehicle.
3. Regularly steam clean your carpeting. This may be as simple as taking the mats to the local car wash station and hosing them down. Or take your car to a professional and have them do it. Doing so once or twice every year will release ground in dirt and keep the fibers from being matted over time.
4. Treat spots with the right car cleaning products. Many car cleaning products contain synthetic, petrochemical-based detergents that are both potentially toxic to your family and pets, they're also harmful to marine ecosystems. Choosing an eco-friendly car cleaning system like the Laura Klein Green Car system will alleviate this environmental burden. We have a highly effective Green Car Carpet Spot that is free of harsh fragrances, petrochemicals, and other toxins. It is biodegradable, nontoxic, and contains naturally-derived cleaning agents. Simply apply, rub, and blot dry to remove any stains on upholstery or carpeting in your vehicle or your home.

These techniques along with non-toxic and environmentally friendly car care products will keep your vehicle looking like it just drove off the lot for many years to come, without the environmental hazards of other products.
