Anyone got a good writeup and product to use?
My carpet has gotten soaked due to a blown heater core spewing its contents out over a long period of time, and years of standard use.
The nice looking part is how it *should* look. The rest is stained and ugly after 14 years of existence. Didnt notice it until I popped off the dead pedal on how bad it really was.
Ive heard of people putting the entire carpet mold into a large 55gal drum and soaking it in the hottest water possible with detergent and degreaser and letting it sit for a few days. Then removing, rinsing and agitating any still there spots and repeating if necessary, then letting air-dry and re-installing.
Wondering if anyone has any pointers on a good product to use for this sort of task. Id like to restore it to as new as possible, the alternative is a $200 aftermarket carpet mold from stockinteriors.com. Let me know, thanks!
