How bad are the stains? If they've been set in for quite some time you may be stuck with stained carpets. Any pics?

I guess I could always go to a car wash and user their pressure washer and soap and let them dry out.

Like humanoid mentioned, it depends on what kind of stains they are. I have had huge success using Folex stain remover on carpets and upholstery. I highly recommend it.

At The Car Spa, we guarantee to get all stains out. Thus far, its worked beautifully, we even got dried gum out of a Rolls Royce one time. Trust me when I say you can get any sort of stain out, regardless of time, sort of stain, etc.

Take a brush, Water and laundry detergent, scrub, rinse, and let it air for a day and you should be good. Cheapest alternative.

I use Oxyclean to clean my floor mats. Just wet them ,get all the dirt out using the hose, and then spread some oxyclean all over the dirty spots and scrub away, then rinse and air dry. Works every time.

For interior carpeting, I use either Folex or Oxyclean to take the stains out.
