Discussion
I recently god fed up with the look and (slight) wiff of my much-maligned magnolia carpets. I tried numerous foaming carpet cleaners from Halfords and their ilk, to bugger-all avail.
Discovered finally that an initial wetting with Vax carpet cleaner solution, followed by a good scrubbing with 1001 carpet cleaner did the trick. The water stains, and the wiff, which I'd accepted as being unshiftable, are now starting to go away.
However, it's bloody hard work, I have to say. I've managed about a quarter of the carpets so far, and have much more to do. Taking the seats out looks like the way to save a lot of hassle. If you get the carpets wet like this, some will inevitably need glueing back down. Mind had already got plenty wet enough in the car's past life, so I threw caution to the wind and got on with it.
