So this weekend, I'm going to treat my wife and de-louse the kiddy mobile (Honda Odessy). I've kept the interior fairly clean with somewhat regular vacuuming but its never had a real good scrubbing since we bought it three years ago. Since then, there have been countless spills, wet and/or muddy boots, bags of mulch, etc. So I've thought about renting a steam cleaner for the day ($35). Anyone ever use one of these? I could just get out the 303, scrub everything down and then vac it out but was thinking that the steam cleaner may be more effective.

Opinions or experience with one?

 

what kind of steam cleaner?

i use an extractor when i shampoo...where are you renting this?

 

I have used a rug doctor with great results

 

I use a specific car steam cleaner called the little green machine and use resolve solution the machine was like $85 at home depot and has lasted over 500 cars and two years It works great getting all dirt koolaid milk and everything but tabacco

 

I use a small steam cleaner with brushes you can put on the end of the steam wand for cleaning carpets in my S 2000 and my other cars. It is called a "Steam Buggy" and it cost around $60, as I recall. After steaming and brushing a carpet area, I wipe the area down with an old towel -- one that I never use for car washing/drying. It works very well and makes for a fast job -- especially on the S2k with its small interior. Because the steamer uses no detergent (doesn't need it), there is no dirt-attracting detergent residue on the carpets, so they stay cleaner longer.
