Fabric and carpet cleaning

ok. we need more active topics in this section and plus i need to get some stains out. the carpet has massive amounts of sand packed into it and if i push on teh end of the vacume it will only pull a slight bit out. also i have a greyish white interior roof with large light brown stains by the visors. And I bet it will either be Joelzy or Bagel to post first. but please dont try to wait for someone else to post because i want to see who will accually post first :P as always any help is apreciated and thanks in advance!

I don't know what to say about the massive amounts of sand in your carpet other than be patient and keep vacuuming. As for teh stains on the roof, there are several methods to try and hopefully one will work. The organic method is to try lemon juice on the stain. Sometimes that will get stains out. Another method would be to try Resolve Carpet Cleaner. It works well on stains in fabrics.
 
Good luck with your clean-up and please keep us posted on how it is going.

thanks man! :D

    Just a thought to pass on, When I would get a vehicle in with
 sand in the carpet , I would remove the carpet, place it on a clean
 cement drive way and turn the garden hose on it, then use a wash
  brush and car soap and give it a work out, then hose it clean
  and hang it out in the sun to dry, it takes a while to get dry enough
  to reinstall.
    You didn't say what the headliner was made of,  cloth or vinyl.
  if it's vinyl the stains will be in it good, The way I got the vinyl
  headliner to look good was use a spray dye on the entire thing.
  you can purchase it a  auto paint stores and they can match it
 with your headliner color.  The dye doesn't work very well on
  cloth.

Ye I got the same problem, My dad use to smoke in my car and he left black stains near the window... Somehow I need to cleant hat out.
