I use an even mixture of Purple Power, Greased Lightning and Water in a squirt Bottle. Spray it on the stains, get a stiff bristle brush and work it into the carpet. Let it set for no more than 2 minutes. Then I use a pressure washer adjusted on low pressure and spray the soiled area to rinse, shop vac it, then spray more with the pressure washer to help rinse. Rinse and Vac several times if needed to get the soap out.
What Jon said about the low pressure at the carwash is dead on. I"ve got a buddy who carpets/repairs boats and he's always said the high pressure hose at the carwash gets him alot of work. It can either raise the carpet up, or break down the glue/bond and cause premature wear.
i like that carpet cleaner that you buy at walmart or Advance it has a brush on the end of the bottle it does good but i clean my carpet of any spots everytime i get back and put it in the garage. Im just picky

I for one went on a catfishing spree last summer due to the low oxygen levels in Loudon and ended up with a slime covered deck that stunk so bad in the garage I thought the miss's was going to evict me and the boat. Read up on it and found for slime and odor diluted white vinegar was listed as the best, tried it, and in fact it worked like a charm with a wet dry vac to pick up the extra spill over. I do not put anything that might bleach the carpet in my boat, but Oxiclean powder mixed with water and put into a spray bottle will pull every stain I have had out (blood, hydraulic steering fluid, Mt. Dew), just spray or pour it on the stain, pick up the extra with a towel and done, it is truely an amazing product.
Man, you can't beat Oxy Clean! (or the generic Wal Mart sells). Try starting weak then make stronger all the way up to a paste. Be careful, though, as it gets stronger it will take out some color.
If you get blood spots on the carpet or stain from someone
being careless with a bottle of "Kickin' Bass Attractant",,
(Fishman) and turns your carpet GREEN
try one of
those Tide Pens for removing clothes stains...Also seein' as
to how 2/3rds of my boat is Onxy White which is a very bright
white, I use one of those Mr. Clean Magic erasers to remove
scuffs and road junk from the hull.
Works great!!!!
