Bissel little green machine. They’re slightly over $100 now…but small & compact; great for car interiors. Can be used inside the home to clean mattresses, sofa’s & padded chairs. [commonly found for sale at Canadian Tire stores, Walmart…likely on Amazon.ca; could try Home Depot etc)

In reply to Joe.

best all purpose cleaner & deodorizer (learned this decades ago from a professional steamcleaning company specializing in houses/carpeting) is VINEGAR. It has some antimicrobial properties & is the best ‘organic’ odour absorber. It’s non-toxic. Do not saturate with straight vinegar as it is acetic acid (can be slightly corrosive). But use boiling hot water & vinegar mixed with mild dish soap [or without the dishsoap] for spot stain removal & cleaning. Vinegar/water in a spray bottle can be used on all surfaces of car interior OR exterior (cleans glass). Vinegar absorbs some toxins. Baking soda is supposedly absorbent…but it’s not great for removing cat or dog odour. It also is gritty & has to be vaccum’d up. Vinegar & water does not. But do not ‘saturate’ surfaces. Vinegar also cuts greasy, oily substances. I’ve used it over the years to soak clothing soaked with diesel fuel or get MILDEW out of fabric. It’s great for a variety of things & cheap for a 4 liter jug. It will clean up coffee, milk spills that have gone sour…it’ll cut through gummy substances, cleans up bird poop off the hood & sun roof etc!!

In reply to mtaylor. sprinkle baking soda in the car carpet and allow the penetrate with your hand. Leave it overnight and vacuum the next morning. Thanks

Looking for an effective car steam cleaning machine? There are many models available on the market but the most versatile machines are capable of effectively removing dirt and stains from places such as dashboards, steering wheels, windows, and more. Steam cleaners can be used even for cleaning trucks, RVs and boats. The advanced machines feature adjustable pressure levels up to 150 psi and steam temperatures reaching 386°F.
