I have a Hoover rug cleaner, they call it a "steam" cleaner but it does not use steam, just hot water. Anyway -- it has an upholstery attachment, and I've used it in my van to do both carpet and seats. It does a good job, I think. A rental unit like a Rug Doctor can usually be had with an upholstery attachment as well, and might do even better. I use the branded Hoover cleaning solution, and if there are any particularly dirty or greasy spots I hit them with a strong degreaser and scrub brush first. This has gotten my carpet and upholstery very close to "new" clean (though of course nothing will reverse actual wear of the fabric). Allan -- 1991 Vanagon GL |
