Carpet Stain Removal??????
Intel, or anyone else. A friend of mine has a coffee stain on his truck carpet and asked what is good to use to remove it. I told him some gasoline and a match should work pretty good but seriously I am not sure what is good and told him I would come on here and ask. So any help would be great. Also something he can get like a Pep Boys, Wal-Mart etc. Thanks

Same stuff I use in the house
Tech.
White bottle, red splash logo.
This takes anything out.
I used it the day after we had a party, someone spilled Cab on the carpet ( off white ), took it right out.
Also will take out cranberry juice stains.
I put Tech on a stain by following the directions.
Then I use my Hoover little green machine ( target ) fill it with hot water and clean up the tech, picking up the stain material as well.
Another one that actually does work, oxyclean. Make it in a squeeze bottle, and put it on the stain, took out a stain in my parents RV like this, cleaning up the excess with the little green machine. It actually did work, I was shocked ( did not have any Tech there, I was out at the time ).

I've heard that the OXYCLEAN is just about the best stuff out there to clean stains but have never used it...
I've heard it cleans so well that it will actually make the area around the stain that you cleaned look dirty because it cleans so well. For example, a stain on a light colored carpet will come out with no problem but, it'll leave a VERY VERY clean spot compared to the surrounding that is slightly soiled.
I need to try that stuff...

Thank you for all the replies, but he went and took it to a detailer to have the whole truck done and they got it out. He don't know what they used but he was happy. In a way it's sad he took it to the detailer and spent the money, I mean its a Chevy truck, cant see wasting all that money on a Chevy

t_daughrity,
Just be carefull with the Super Clean, expecially on Aluminum and painted surfaces. I used to work for Castrol and we were constantly getting calls about aluminum rims turning black from oxidation and paint being ruined from overspray.
SuperClean is great stuff, but is can be pretty nasty on some surfaces if it is not dilluted properly. Also, be carefull about chemical burns, this stuff is about 10% Sodium Hydroxide which is very caustic.
