    Re-energizing Carpet

    Does anyone have any tips on how to bring back the life to my carpet in my 04 206? Are there any products on the market to wash/clean boat carpets? Would pressure washing it be a smart idea?

    Thanks,
    Curt

    I have pressure washed carpets before, works good, use a vacuum to suck up most of the water after. Be careful of electronics.

      My dealer swears by fabric softener in a spray bottle after cleaning. Spray it on the carpet, work it in with the brush. Let it sit for a bit, then rinse and shop vac. I did it last year with pretty good results, but I think I could've used more of the fabric softener, i.e., I diluted it too much.

        I did the fabric softener last year and it works but you have to really work it in to get the full effect. It lasted most of the season. I will do it again in a month for the coming season.

          The household carpet guys will tell you that you have to steam/vac at the same time. The heat puts the "twist" back in the fiber.
