How do you clean the floorboards of a car?

Question

I spilled 32 oz of diet pepsi in the front passenger floorboard of my SUV. How do I make sure it's all out of there, or at least most of it?

Answer 1

Some car wash places have a steam cleaner near the DIY vacuums, try that. If not get some good carpet cleaner and get to scrubbing... soda STINKS after a few days!

Answer 2

use a really powerful vacuum, most carpet in cars now have a plastic liner as the lowest layer, so it should not have soaked through to the sheetmetal. Wal-Mart sells a really good carpet cleaner, it has a nozzle like shaving cream, I removed grease from my carpet that had been in there for about 2 years. I forgot the name of it but it worked really good. The absolute best way would be to remove the carpet from the car and take it to the car wash and hose it down, then use a really good vacuum to suck up the water, then let it dry for about a day, but being an SUV I know this is no easy task, as I own an Excursion and had to practially remove the carpet to install a stereo system, but good luck with your project...

Answer 3

Was it on the carpet or do you have mats down? If you have mats down its quite simple. You could just use armorall spray and a rag. If its in the carpet than i suggest Resolve (cleaning agent) or perhaps some baking soda.

Answer 4

vacuum it.
