Default Spilled soda on my floor mat....quite a bit actually. Need some help...
STUPID ME....I told myself never to drive with a drink in the car. BTW, those cup trays from fast food restaurants REALLY don't work under high lateral G's.

So I spilled about a 1/2 cup of soda on the floor mat. It dribbled back to the REAR floor mat before I could wipe up most of it. I cleaned up most of it, and my mats stink a little bit.

Is there any place in OC (SoCal orange county) where I can get my interior "carpetting" steamed or washed so I can get some of the stickyness out??? And ballpark figures on prices. TIA. Ugh. =(

Default Chaka's got a steam cleaner you can probably borrow...
Can take out the front seat to do a more thorough job.

Default It's more the floor mats than anything, but I'd still like to steam clean the carpets.
I just don't want the seat to start getting loose if we take it out and put it back on.

I guess that would mean I owe him boba.

Chaka, you mind if I take your steam cleaner for a whirl?

Is it small enough to fit? Portable I mean, or hand-held?
