Best Car Carpet Cleaners of 2025

"This stuff is awesome! I used it with my extractor, and it made my carpet and living room rug like new. Just a heads-up, the fumes are pretty strong, so I recommend wearing a mask unless you dilute it enough. For general cleaning, I used a 20:1 ratio, and for heavy stains, 8:1 works great. It truly does its job!"

"I was disappointed. I have an ivory Subaru cloth interior that I keep clean, but over time, it was dirtier than expected. The initial dilution didn’t clean well or cut through the light grime. I tried various dilutions up to 8:1, but it still didn’t clean thoroughly. After using this product, I found another cleaner that worked better with less effort. The Chem Guys product was just too sticky for my liking."

"I recently bought a used car with an absolutely horrendous interior. After investing in this cleaning product, I was blown away by the results! I paired it with a power drill and scrub attachment, and the improvement was massive. It really worked wonders!"

"I can't believe how well this Armor All Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner works! It completely removed the stain from my front passenger seat upholstery and even tackled some old carpet stains in my townhouse. It’s definitely my go-to product now. Also, the price is unbeatable!"

"I had a salad dressing spill on the back seat of my truck, and after just one application, the stain and oil were gone! This cleaner does its job well."

"I followed the instructions, but the cap made a huge mess. The product sprayed out like silly string, which was frustrating. However, it does have a nice scent, so if you can find one that works, it might be worth trying."

"I was skeptical because I have high expectations. But this stuff works with very little elbow grease. I diluted to 8:1. The spray bottle is great because it has the measurements right on it. I saturated, scrubbed with the drill brush and a toothbrush, and blotted with microfiber cloths. For stubborn stains, I applied twice. It removed 99% of my deep-set coffee and dog mud stains. I did my whole car in an hour and a half. This bottle will last a long time since you dilute it. My car used 10% of the undiluted bottle. It looks like new again. My only minor complaint is that the spray bottle lid doesn't screw on tight and will leak when tipped over."

"I just got this kit yesterday and took the seats out of my car to scrub the seats and carpet. It did an amazing job on the carpet. Using the drill scrubber definitely made the work easier and got all the old hair out along with stains. My only complaints are that I had to cut the spray nozzle pickup tube and my box didn't come with any cool stickers, plus the spray bottle leaks when lying sideways."

"I have a dog and two kids with cloth upholstery in my VW. I had muddy paw prints for months, and when I saw an ad on social media, I got curious. After ordering, the delivery was quick. I was amazed at the dirt that lifted out of the upholstery. The scent of the product is excellent. I was so excited, I had to write immediately after trying. My car is now drying overnight in my garage. I know if I had taken it to a shop for detailing, I would have had to pay $250-300 for a deep cleaning. So far, I am quite pleased!"

"I used this on my kitchen barstools that had several faint stains that I couldn’t clean with other products. It worked best when I treated the entire chair surface, but I noticed it left ‘water marks’ when I tried spot cleaning. Still, it worked well on my light gray fabric."

"I absolutely love this product! I originally got it for my indoor rugs, but it performed wonders on my casual white sneakers with a black smudge. I’ve tried so many fabric stain removers before, but nothing worked like this. The black smudge disappeared after I diluted it and used a wash rag for spot cleaning. Thank goodness I found this!"

"After trying everything from machines to natural cleaners on my white couch, I thought it was a lost cause. But this stuff is incredible! In just 10 minutes, it removed dog and food stains, marker marks, and watermarks from other products. I can't recommend it enough!"

"With two large dogs, my white rug was always a mess. After trying P&S Carpet Bomber, I was extremely impressed! It removed stains and left a pleasant citrus smell."

"As a mobile auto detailer, I can confidently say that Carpet Bomber has revolutionized our cleaning process. It's effective, safe, and leaves a fresh scent that clients love."

"I needed a high-quality carpet shampoo for pet stains. After using Carpet Bomber, I've found it works amazing. It foams when I scrub, lifting dirt easily, and leaves no residual smell."

"I spilled coffee with almond milk in my car, and the smell was overwhelming. I bought this hoping it would work, and thankfully it did! Great value for the money and cleans effectively!"

"I had a chocolate stain in my passenger seat for about seven years, and nothing worked until now. The application was easy, and the scrubbing effort was minimal compared to my previous attempts. A slight smell, but it disappears quickly!"

"I purchased this product to clean my wife's front passenger seat with multiple stains. Following the simple directions, I applied the spray and used the included brush. The results were astonishing—the seat looks brand new!"

"I recently tried P&S Carpet Bomber, and it’s been a solid addition to my detailing supplies. The cleaner effectively lifts dirt and stains from both carpet and upholstery, leaving surfaces looking refreshed. I appreciate how it works well on tough spots without much scrubbing needed. The only downside is that I found it requires a bit more product than I initially expected, but the cleaning power and pleasant scent make it worth it. Overall, it’s a reliable cleaner that I’ll continue to use for my detailing jobs!"

"I had a couple of stains in my car seats that no matter what I tried, I couldn't remove. A little of this and a little effort and they are gone. Also got rid of grime on my steering wheel effortlessly. Definitely worth the price!"

"I saw reviews of this product on YouTube used for car detailing. I tried multiple products to remove carpet stains to no avail. Switched to this and performance is excellent. This will be my go-to carpet cleaner!"

"I recently purchased a DIRTDEVEL cleaner for both auto and home use, and I decided to try this product. I've had pretty good luck with most of their products, but not all. This cleaner works great as advertised! I’ll definitely be buying more after I finish this gallon!"

"I swear by most of CG products because they really get the job done. I use this product to clean the carpet in my home office every month, and it makes the carpet look brand new every time!"

"After struggling to clean upholstery in my car, I tried this cleaner with a heavy-duty mix and a scrub brush. The seats now look like brand new, and it easily removed a tough grease stain!"

"I have a 2003 4Runner that I never scrubbed the carpets in, and I just hoped for a little boost. It took out every stain! I used half a bottle for two trucks. While a horse hair brush helped, a microfiber cloth worked even better!"

"Chemical Guys is one of my go-to cleaners. It cleans well and leaves a nice citrus smell."

"I don’t want to share how great this is because I fear they might raise the price! This small business has an amazing product. It smells incredible and cleans better than anything I’ve tried. I even use it on my silk pillowcases—it’s gentle but effective."

“This item is fantastic for headliners. I was able to remove the stains with just a small brush and a microfiber towel. I was worried it might leave things too wet and ruin the glue, but it left just the right amount of foam and cleaned the old stains perfectly.”

“I used this product on the headliner and sunshades of my Tesla Model Y. It handled the usual fingerprints effortlessly. It worked better than expected and arrived at my home for less than my local Walmart. What a bargain!”

“While I loved another product from this brand, I found the upholstery cleaner underwhelming. It cleaned okay but didn’t really outperform other options I’ve tried. Plus, it’s more expensive than other cleaners, so I can’t say it’s worth the price.”
