I used 303 stain remover a few times, and it worked well.

I also tried Resolve in another car once, and it faded the carpetn a bit(brown). I use resolve in my house all the time, figured it would work in the car, but had a very different effect. Might have just been something strange, but could have been a difference between car and house carpet too???

+1 on 303... it removed a 3 year old soda stain from the felt in the armrest cubby on my willow interior.

But make sure you get the right 303... there's so many out there now. Cleaners vs protectors, etc.

I had really good results getting out some coffee stains and berry stains with CG's Fabric Cleaner. Removed all of it with minimal effort. If the 303 doesn't do the trick you might want to give it a try. I am in CA and can mail some out to you that you can use.

Not at all, I used it on my black cloth interior and a friend's tan cloth interior. Both came out perfectly. The bottle is concentrated so the 16oz. will probably last me a long time for just my POVs.

oxiclean works great on carpets. mix with hot water and use a squirt bottle to spray on the stain. Then use a brush to work it and finally use a shop vac to suck up the liquid. You can then use a clean towel and press into the carpet, this should take it out.

An alternative, if you have a seamer is to steam it.

Baking soda and vinegar.


Spread some baking soda on the spot and put some vinegar over it.

Wait till it all bubbles up and clean up.

Any lingering vinegar odor or does the baking soda cancel it out?

no no odor

not any significant

don't pour too much vinegar tho. Don't let it go through carpet. Just enough to wet the baking soda and do its work on the surface.


If any odor left over just spray some cologne on the spot and you'll be good to do

Does this work on large quantities of blood?
