    Pictures from using the Rug Doctor with the upholstery cleaning attachment today.

    Before

    RD_03_Before_8225c2c3792c5a4f0c9d2ccff0199bcfcc75642c.jpg

    Using the Rug Doctor to clean the seats. I used a combination of carpet and upholstery cleaners. Also, simple green mixed with water in the Rub Doctor tank.

    RD_04_Cleaning_69d0f837bf1e566ce5877d40c4970a5bf73757a9.jpg

    This dirty was only from the passenger side seat and floorboard. The final amount was roughly 3x this amount. I don't think the previous owner ever cleaned anything inside the cab.

    RD_05_Dirty_Water_6ed6ac0adae710bedbb57164fa02694d9d4e0a13.jpg

    I use a Fisher Price baby heater to dry the carpet. I let it run overnight with rear vent windows cracked open. It does a good job of drying the carpet backing. My kids are all grown now, but the baby heater still comes in handy.

    RD_06_Fisher_Price_122b503efef4e905c0c70cf99077b2148bd3d9d1.jpg

    Seats after cleaning. I'm letting the seats and carpet dry before reinstalling. I'll most likely cover these with some Wet Okole seat covers. At least they won't be covering all that dirt. I'll spray the seats a couple of times with Scotchgard tomorrow.

    That is some nasty looking water. Did you pretreat the seats or just go to work with the machine? Came out real nice either way...

    Just went with the machine. I did use the water hose sprayer to rinse at the end. Just sprayed the seats down and let the machine pick up the water.

    Works really well. Just did the same to my truck last week. You can actually watch how much dirt is coming up in the clear wand attachment.
