Steam cleaning a carpet is the best way to thoroughly rid it of dirt and stains. Cleaning a car’s carpets with a steam cleaner goes well beyond vacuuming. As it removes any foul odors lingering in the carpet, steam cleaning will make your car's carpets look almost new.
Remove the small carpets. Shake them to remove the worst of the dirt, rocks and larger items that might be on the top surface.
Vacuum all the car's carpeting, including the small foot rugs. Use an appropriate vacuum attachment to reach into the small spaces.
Add attachments to the steam cleaner to reach small spaces of the car. Activate the steam cleaner. According to directions, add cleaner to the steamer or apply it to the carpet.
Run the steam cleaner attachment over the carpets once it has steam. Clean the small rugs in the same manner depending on the steam cleaner.
Allow the car carpets to dry completely with the doors open. Replace the small rugs after the rugs and interior car carpets are dry.
