For large carpet like this, one of the best way to clean it is the remove the whole carpet, and find a way to suspend it. Then liberally soak every inch in a degreaser, and then pressure wash it. Rinse wash repeat. Be amazed how well it works!

First time I used my drill brush I was amazed at how well it breaks up all the crap in a carpet. I need/want to get an extractor also. Chemical Guys makes some great products as well.

I took everything out except driver seat with loose bolts. Unbolted seat at car wash and sprayed soap on carpet and did a thorough rinse making sure i didnt spray anything except carpet. Drove home and let it dry in sun. Living in the south, it took a day for everything to dry. Looked almost new when done and no mold smell or anything. The floor is painted so no worry on future rust since it dried in a day or 2

Since you already have the seats in the console and everything out I've seen a lot of them KZreadrs also take the carpets out completely and hit him with a pressure washer and they actually come out quite clean you could probably try that with some good detergent soap for some like laundry soap for some that's a stain remover I would recommend like era or tie-dye no era as a nice fruity smell to the the material

Need some help. I have an 03 Silverado (hoping the same issues with my truck are similar to your Tahoe). Took the seats out a while ago, (replaced middle console) then I put them back in. All manual seats so only plug-in was the airbag sensors. I’m getting airbag sensor displayed on my dash but the wires are all connected back to the seats. Implugged battery for 10-15 mins (didn’t work). Any thoughts?

Hey there! I also own a '99 2-door Tahoe, and I am looking to build it out for car camping. I am trying to design it to utilize as much space as possible, I was wondering how easy it was to take out the seats and to put them back in. If I were to do that every, say 6 months, would that be too much of a hassle in your opinion? Or was it relatively easy o hassle-free (ish)? :)

Been a while but I think so

You should use APC and degreaser with the steam cleaner to get really good results Also try mr. clean magic sponge on the plastic pieces with APC For the carpet, check out Stuffer’s garage channel or detail geek’s channel and see that they use for their carpets. A car shouldn’t take you more than 4-5 hours (with the right tools and products) Finally, your carpet is fine. It will clean up fine
