Cabin Carpet Cleaning

[Bryan 2530]

Here's a topic that hasn't come up much, its not real manly and a search didn't really turn up any old topics so here goes.

I want to clean the interior carpet on the walls and ceiling of the 2530. The carpet is not visibly dirty, maybe in a few spots but it does feel "salty", maybe from running with the from windows open and just general use in the saltwater.

My plan is to use carpet cleaning solution like you would put in a rented carpet machine, spray it on with an industrial spray bottle and suck it of the wall with a shop vac and upholstery attachment.

Anyone ever tried this or had success with something like it??

Robin Parker once mention spot shot carpet cleaner, but that might get expensive over the whole cabin.


Thoughts??

When I puchased my boat the interior carpet was moldy and salty like you said.
I rented a carpet/ upolstery steam cleaner (the units they rent at Shaws).
It incorperates a wet vac. The thing worked great. Made short work of the project.

We have 20+ old Bissell carpet and upholstery system and use cold water from the hose and Bissell cleaner. It worked fine and easy to use
If I was closer you could borrow it :mrgreen:
