I use Turtlewax Carpet cleaner. My tan carpets were very dirty when I first got my car and now its new looking again.

They also make an upulstry cleaner that I have used on leather/vinyl before and it cleans things up real well. Even gets the dirt out of all those little cracks in the leather.

Have you tried this method?

Instructions

* STEP 1: Note that the following steps work for fabric or vinyl upholstery, not leather.
* STEP 2: Place an ice cube in a plastic bag.
* STEP 3: Apply the ice to the gum, allowing the gum to freeze until quite hard.
* STEP 4: Gently scrape away the gum with a dull knife.

Tips & Warnings

* Don't attempt this method on leather upholstery.

I like to use one of those little steamers to clean my carpets. Mine is called a "Steam Buggy" and has a number of brush attachments for various jobs. The thing I like about it is that I can use it often, without worry about any detergent build up in the carpets, which actually attracts and holds future dirt. It uses only steam, no detergent. Not for use on leather or vinyl. I have also removed gum with it. While the ice cube method makes the gum so brittle that it will just crack up and come off, the steam will soften the gum and cause it to loose its grip on the carpet fibers.

Thanks,
Richard
