The best and easiest way to clean your carpets, is to remove them
from the van. I have used a garden hose, washing machine
soap, and a scrub brush. There is no stain that I could not get
out with this method. Cheap to. I have also done this with the
seats, both front and back. Leave then in the hot sun to dry for a
few days.
