Carpets are an often-overlooked part of your car’s interior. Without even noticing, it’s easy to track dirt, dead leaves, and snow across the floor of your car, eventually leading to unsightly spots and odors, and harming the presentation of the vehicle as a whole. There is, however, a variety of products on the market that are made specifically for car carpets, and with regular use, it’s easy to keep your car pristine.
- Affordable
- Brush included
- Dirt repellent
- No larger sizes available
Key Specs
- Best For: Carpets and rubber mats
- Size: 18-ounce spray can with brush
- Scent: Non-fragrant and deodorizing
This Turtle Wax cleaner comes in a small spray can that can be easily stored in a glove compartment or center console. The can also includes a convenient scrub brush on top, making it useful for regular touch-ups and spot-cleaning. Inside the foamy spray are oxygenated cleaning agents similar to those found in household carpet cleaners, along with the manufacturer’s Odor-X deodorizing formula.
While the formula is unscented and leaves only a mild smell after drying, Turtle Wax says it will “remove odors caused by pets, cigarette smoke, food and mildew.” It also leaves behind a thin silicone coating, which bonds to carpet fibers and keeps dirt particles from sticking to them.
- Natural enzyme formula
- Made in USA
- Must be diluted
- Strong citrus smell
Key Specs
- Best For: Carpets and cloth upholstery
- Size: 16-ounce bottle; 64-ounce jug; 1-gallon jug
- Scent: Citrus scent with deodorizer
This Chemical Guys cleaner comes concentrated and should be diluted with warm water in a separate container or carpet shampooer prior to use. While this does mean a relatively small bottle can last quite a while, it does make this formula less convenient to use on the go.
Sizes range from a 16-ounce bottle to a full gallon jug. Inside are natural enzymes that help eliminate stains and odors from carpets and cloth upholstery without the use of ammonia or bleach. The formula works well, but reviewers say it leaves a strong orange smell, which some may not enjoy. Many Chemical Guys products, including this one, are also formulated locally in California.
