^^ This is what I did - I used one while my Dad was doing his lounge :D

Couldn't believe how filthy it was - well worth doing.....

I don't know why but I can't stop laughing at 'rug doctor' :lol:

Thanks for the ideas guys, now you mention it I think my parents have a carpet cleaner. I'm just about to go drop the dog round theirs so will see if I can borrow it :)

I did mine with some vanish carpet cleaner, worked it in with a stiff brush, left it for half an hour then hit it with the jet wash, it came up like new.

Pressure washer to blast off all crap. Scrub with a scrubbing brush and an all purpose cleaner, use pressure washer to blast off all the foam and dirt from scrubbing. Repeat if necessary. Job done.

It's a Japanese servant girl, with two needles & a ball of wool?

I use a steam cleaner on the interiors; I dunno where the dirt goes, but seats & carpets fluff up like new.

Also seems to take the nasty shine off plastic parts and de-fugs window glass.

Magically cleans pedal boxes & wiring looms...
