How the heck did you get the carpet in the washing machine?

Hi group,

Funny this should come up.  I have removed the interior fabric (seats,
cushion covers, etc..) from 2 vanagons and one eurovan and ran them all
through the washing machine.  I even cleaned the carpet from one vanagon
this way.

Hot water, tide and oxy clean added, with the long washing cycle.
Carpet was air dryed, but the rest was low heat with Bounce in the
dryer.

CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN!!  No wrinkles and went back on without a problem.

Try it
