Outback carpet is shot

[magicmarker]

The molded carpet is no longer available for my 2007 Outback Wagon and mine is shot (see photo). What are my alternatives? Thanks!

Legacys and junkyards.

power wash it scrub it wet vac it multiple times and leave it outside to dry for a week drive the car without carpet while drying. i got the white carpet on my 1987 bmw pretty clean doing this. i did not take a before shot but this was after cleaning it had some stains like you had in the center areas under the seats before.

 

if your planning to replace it anyways it wouldent hurt to try.

Cool! Did you just use elbow grease? Anything special?

i used a stiff plastic brush and i forget what i used as the soap it might have been laundry detergent and dish soap. just rinse it later suck it out with a shop vac and let it dry in the sun

I often use a hotesy and clean the with hot water and simple green.  Make sure you let them dry fully.

If you don't have access to a power washer try using the sprayer at a do it yourself car wash. Lay the carpet out in the sun for a day to dry it out afterward.
