help mb cloth cleaning
what is the best way to clean the cloth along the entry way of the doors. i like the luxury of having cloth instead of plastic but people keep getting scruff marks on it esp in the back seat.
thanks

I use Blue Coral Dir-Clean Upholstery Cleaner. (on the carpet/mats/door jambs/headliner.) Not on the seats or any leather.
It comes in a lightly blue tinted spray bottle. It foams when you spray it on fabric. Let it sit for a moment & wipe it off with a white terri cloth car towel.
All of my fabric is spotless with no work other than spray & wipe. It even takes mechanic's greasy shoe scuffs & grease from their pant legs off the center console carpeting. Heavy scuff marks on the plastic near the bottom of the door jambs need 409/Fantastic.

there are several techniques, but my best is just a watered down multipupose cleaner(simple green)
spray it lightly and use a microfiber towel to take out the stains... If its on carpet I also use same mixture dab with a microfiber, and then... I use a brush and gently brush the carpet to loosen any other embedded crap and vacuum

I second that.... But the BC one that I use is a dry vacuum one (maybe we are using the same thing and you can do either or)... You spray it on and let it sit and about 5 mins later it turns into a white powder you vacuum up, it works well on light grey carpet taking out oil and grease stains I have not used it on the dark carpet yet but I am sure since it can take stains out of light carpet it will be able to take it out of dark just fine.

Same product. If there is a lot of dirt you can vaccuum up any white powder left, but since I wipe it up when its still wet, I've got no residue. Its a great product.
