      Cleaning Carpet

      Admit it, the carpet on the Aveo some cheap stuff. Not only it's cheap; it's hard to clean.

      I am posting two pictures of a tool I got from Amazon that help to remove the stuff out of the carpet. It's a Venturi driven brush that attaches to the a vacuum cleaner hose.

      It's small size works great for the car.

      Here is the amazon link:
      Amazon.com: Electrolux Home Care 62550D Power Paw Vacuum Tool: Home & Kitchen

      People bitch about the sound it makes, personally like it having grown up on Air Force Bases.

      I've always had pretty good luck with just using the carpet cleaner in a can with a brush to take out stains. I can see that tool working really well to take out all the little rocks and sand in carpet though. The price is very reasonable as well.

      I just did a massive car cleaning and use the carpet cleaner liberally, works great. It does work well on sand and rocks. I got it mostly for pet hair which does not come easily.

      I'll have to remove the seats from mine, the last guy seemed to never have cleaned it, carpets are still dirty as ****, but the outside looks fairly good.

      Various types of cleaning methods are used depending on the type of the carpet. Host cleaning is the one of the common cleaning method, In this soil and dust, are separated from the carpet.

      Recommended Carpet Cleaners:

      1. Bissell 86T3 professional carpet cleaner

      2. Light N’ Easy carpet cleaner
