Interior Cleaning

Post by macca81 »

just wondering what people use to keep there interior carpet/seats clean? i have a big build up of dirt and crap, particularly in the back. i know i could rip it all out and just go vinyl or something simmiler but as its my daily id prefer to keep the carpet in there.

also, anyone have any sure fire ways of removing dog hair from the seats? the previous owner let their short haired jack russel loose in the back seat and now there is hair everywhere. i have had the truck for over a year and have tried many many times to get the crap out, but it seems the only effective way of removal is to throw an expensive suit jacket on the back seat, or get someone who is wearing good clothes to sit there....

The best way to get rid of dog hair ive found, is to get a coupla rolls of clear packing tape (the wide stuff), cut off short lengths of like 300mm and make a loop out of them with sticky side out. Then just go over the whole seat with the loop over youre hand and it should pick all the hair up.

As for mud, i just use a hose.
