So I'm going to try and wash my TII interior today by throwing the carpets in a washing machine. Anybody have any recommendations on detergents that won't make my car smell like a snuggles the bear commercial?

Yup, carpets will be fine, this isn't an experiment or anything, it's been done before. Laundromat has industrial size washers.

I'm pretty much thinking some non-scented woolite or something similar. I might throw an old cartridge from car scent thingy to cover any detergent smell.

Oh ok. I was gonna say... It'd be pretty hard to tea bag Banzaimom in an FC with no sunroof.

Well, this is the rear carpet today. I think the front carpets are gonna get steamcleaned. That's steamed without the cleveland, which is probably what you are used to.

I use All Free And Clear. I can get the big bottle of it at BJ's Wholesale Club. Costco carries it too. I don't like buying a product that's heavily perfumed. That **** just makes me sneeze and my eyes water.



I find that keeping a pet skunk in the car for a few days will usually mask most other odors that might be present in the car.
