I have owned my Gen4 for 5-6 years now. I do maintenance on the car once a while. Today I attempted to clean a pot of coffee under the front passenger seat (previous owner did it )

Before:


After:


Obviously alot cleaner than before but still not perfect.
I used Little Green and some hard scrubbing
1-2 hrs

What's the next step?
Thanks

What chemical cleaner are you puting in the Little Green? How long are you letting it sit before sucking it up?

Scrub with a hand brush instead of using the Little Green's brush.

I used the recommended formula + hot water
I didn't let it set in for a long time
I did use a hand brush 80% of the itme, but looks like it's not enough.
There got be a better chemical to use than the formula+water. What is it?

Don't dilute it as much. Use cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes before vacuuming.

I'm gonna try using some Adams carpet cleaner in my Little Green.

[nobitanobi]

would you recommend 50/50 ? I thought hot water is better for cleaning.
I will go look for some coffee cleaner in some stores. Thanks. Let me know how the Adam carpet cleaner is.

Hot water is good for oily stains. Cold water is good for most other stains.

You can also try a 1:3 mix of white vinegar and water, instead of the Bissel cleaning solution.

I know it's not your fault, but the fact that the coffee stain is old makes it a lot harder to remove. Letting the coffee dry and soak-in is not good. Fresh spills are a lot easier to fix.

I will try the 1:3 vinegar/ cold water this weekend

Yeah I know fresh spills are easier to clean, but at the time I only had enough money to buy the car. LOL
