Hoovering carpets

[turbomachine]

Hi
Anyone got any tips on how to hoover up the poorer qaulity carpets that you normally get on cheaper cars rather than the nice cut pile that you might get on bmw merc audi. Does anyone on here do cricket lines when they hoover or is that a bit sad?

Straight up and down in alternate directions - like mowing the lawn to get the striped effect you see on cricket pitches, football fields, etc.

I use a brush to 'tease' the fibres before using the thin attachment to hoover up the dust, particles, crumbs whatever. Don't do lines but take my time and once a month use Meguiars APC cut 10/1 to deep clean my interior. Spray it on and wipe off!!

You have got to be kidding. People don't really do this, do they?

Yes, I have seen quite a few cars that have been professionally valeted that have cricket lines esp at 2nd hand car dealerships etc. I will admit i have also done it myself (however only if i'm really keen.)

At risk of sounding very sad.....

I admit that I have a selection of brushes from soft paintbrushes (for the fresh air vents) to nylon nail brushes and kitchen brushes to fit the gaps beside the seats and reach into the pile on the carpets.

The garage vacuum is a cylinder model, retired from houshold use, which now has some modified nozzles to fit those 'important little places.' Using the vac at the same time as the brush does a great job of the carpets.
