Jeep Carpet Kits

FAQs—Jeep Carpet Kit

1. What would be a good spot cleaner for a Jeep carpet kit? I'm searching for a good home remedy. Any tip?

A mixture of 1 tablespoon dish soap, 1 tablespoon plain white vinegar, and 2 cups of warm water will be a good spot cleaner. Before spraying the solution, sprinkle baking soda all over the carpet and let it sit for some time. Vacuum the carpet and spray the solution. For stains, you have to scrub or rub them away. Let the solution sit for a while and allow it to dry fully.

2. I have nasty coffee stains on my car's carpet. I'm looking for a home remedy or good stain remover for these. Any suggestion?

The best way to clean off coffee spills is with cool water, blotted with paper towels or rags. For hard-to-remove stains, spray some glass cleaner and let this soak for about 5 minutes. You can also try pouring some beer to lift off coffee stains. Rub this lightly on the stained carpet.

3. How can I fully remove grease on carpeting? What would be an effective cleaning solution?

Try rubbing some paint thinner on grease stains. Dab just a small amount first to test this on the carpet and see how it reacts. After rubbing a bit of paint thinner, sprinkle some salt on the stained area. Let the grease be absorbed, and then vacuum the area. You can also cover the area with cornmeal. Allow it to settle overnight and then vacuum the treated portion.

4. There are parts of the car carpet that are already fading. Is there any way to fix this?

You can use ammonia to fix the fading portion on the carpet. You have to vacuum the carpet first. With a sponge mop, apply a mixture of half a cup clear ammonia and one pint of water. Just don't use this mixture on carpeting that's made of wool. Dab the mixture first on the less visible part of the carpeting to test the solution.

5. The carpet deodorizer I'm using on my car isn't doing much to remove the foul odor that lingers inside the cabin. Is there any home remedy I can test or use for removing the bad smell from the carpet?

Try using baking soda. It's known to be an effective odor remover for carpeting. Just cover the area with sprinkles of baking soda. Brush it lightly so it can work its way down into the fibers. Add another layer and then let this sit overnight or up to 2 days if needed. See if this works. Just sprinkle more baking soda as needed. Vacuum the area or sweep it with a broom to remove the baking soda.

6. I've sprinkled some baking soda on the carpet, but while there's been an improvement, the bad odor is still there. What can I do to remove this completely? I'm looking for a home solution.

If the odor isn't removed completely, you can apply some plain white vinegar on the carpet. This can be sprayed onto the carpet or blotted using a soft cloth. Let the vinegar settle for about 15 minutes, allowing the solution to treat the odor-causing bacteria. If the odor is coming from a liquid spill, you may have to use more vinegar to allow it to seep through the padding as needed. However, make sure that the carpet isn't saturated. Rinse the vinegar by spraying with clean water or blotting the area. The carpet should be allowed to dry completely.

7. The pre-loved Jeep I just bought has this cheap-looking carpet on. I want something soft, plush, and one that won't break easily. What kind of carpet should I be looking for?

Look for a carpet that's made using high-quality fibers. The fibers help trap dirt easily. This type of carpet lasts longer than the standard carpeting on cars. If you want something that fits perfectly and one that looks rich and feels soft, you should be looking at tailored Jeep carpets. The selection offers the best when it comes to softness and texture. They're a bit pricey, but they can give the vehicle extra comfort. Most tailored Jeep carpets are recommended for those who can't clean the carpeting regularly.
