Easy - But Laborius

If you look on my Scamp 5th Wheel project  post you'll see the awful rat fur we started with and how it cleaned up.We used two products to clean it up from a very soiled condition. Started with a very thorough vacuuming with a shop vac.

  1. Tuff Stuff Multi Purpose Foam Cleaner for Deep Cleaning - 22 oz. (1.37 lbs) and a nylon brush. 
  2. JoeZ lent us his Honda Generator and BISSELL Little Green Multi-Purpose Portable Carpet Cleaner, 1400B which uses BISSELL 2X Spot & Stain Portable Machine Formula, 16 ounces, 79B91

Took about 2 times with the TuffStuff and brush and 3 times over with the Bissell, but you can see in the later pictures it cleaned up like new. The rat fur is very durable and you can really get after it with the cleaners.

Stain and Spot Remover

If you have isolated stains and spots Blue Magic Carpet Stain and Spot lifter really works good. It is sold at Wal Mart in the auto department. It also works great on auto seat stains. It is in a silver and blue can.

For cleaning dirty spots on

For cleaning dirty spots on rat fur, use a damp cloth with mild, unscented soap or a pet-safe shampoo and

Star Brite - Ultimate Water Spot Remover. Gently dab the dirty areas, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry. Avoid soaking the fur and monitor for any adverse reactions.
