I got a 15 year old carpet in my car.... with lots of stains. These sort of stains won't even come out after lots and lots of scrubbing. Is there some miracle formula that I can use to get these out?

Folex instant spot remover.

You can find it at Lowes home Improvement. It comes in a white 32oz. plastic spray bottle with Purple lettering. It's the best stuff I have ever used! For really tough tough stains use it one day and then use it the next.

I've done my Q 45 cream color carpet and it cleaned everything! Did the Ceiling material and got smoke stains out from previous owner who smoked cigars etc.., did the house carpet

I just spray and scrub the really tough stains with a little brush. You'll see.

I don't believe it will because my apt. carpet is brownish and it just brought it back to original color. Just test it on a smal area under the seat somewhere to make sure, but the carpet guy who suggested it to me said it doesn't discolor colors. It doesn't have bleach.

I think it will be fine.

have you considered new carpet?

I tried all sorts of cleaners on my carpet ('92) but it still didnt look, feel, or smell clean. So I changed it out. Hopefully you can get the stains out because installing carpet is tougher than it seems.

what i did to get most of the stains out of my carpet is rent a rug doctor(carpet cleaner) and a upolstry attachment and steem clean the entire carpet. It got almost all the stains out of MY 15 year old carpet.
