Removing spots from your carpet/upholstry

[rayz379]

This is very good on carpet or cloth seats in the boat/vehicle. Go buy a small container of paint thinner, not the cheapo stuff at wally world. But the cheapo stuff from an auto parts store where they sell automotive paint. Lacquer thinner, or commonly called "wash" thinner to reduce enamel paint. A little on a rag and the stains are gone.
Of course try in an unobvious area first, however we have never faded or hurt any material as of yet by doing this at the car lot. Works especially good on grease spots and coffee/soda stains.

I've got plenty of coffee stains around my console in my van. I'm gonna have to try this one.

BJ I have been amazed at what my guys have removed by using just plain old lacquer thinner

Another great one is 50/50 Amonia & Water. We use it in the house for all our carpet stains and spots. Spray let soak 30 seconds rub w/ towel, PRESTO! gone.

Try BassBoatSaver first. I've removed coffee stains and even dried fish blood with it. Spray on, let it soak for a minute or two, take a damp rag and voila the spot is gone! (I'd be a little concerned about using paint thinner on carpet because it can penetrate through it and eat away at the glue underneath, not to mention it will eventually eat away at the carpets fibers if used to often....maybe I'm being overly concerned but the stuff is pretty caustic).

For carpet: White vinegar, Dawn Dish Soap & warm water.

I used to use wash thinner until I found BBS......
