Chemical Guys, Foaming Citrus Fabric & Carpet Cleaner

Chemical Guys Foaming Citrus Fabric & Carpet Cleaner is a 32 oz foaming solution that lifts dirt, stains, and odors from car seats, floor mats, and interior carpets without soaking fabrics.

This citrus-scented foaming cleaner from Chemical Guys is formulated for automotive interiors: it clings to vertical surfaces, penetrates fabric fibers, and emulsifies soils so they rinse or blot away easily. The foaming action reduces overwetting, making it safe for many upholstery materials while delivering a fresh citrus aroma. Use it with a brush, microfiber towel, or extraction tool to restore appearance and reduce lingering odors left by spills, mud, or daily use.

How does the foaming formula clean fabric and carpet effectively?

The foam concentrates cleaning power at the contact point so surfactants and solvents break down grime without excessive liquid. That means you get targeted lift of oils, ground-in dirt, and everyday stains while minimizing saturation that can damage padding or backing materials.

• Clinging foam reduces runoff and increases dwell time for better soil breakdown.
• Citrus-based solvents cut through oily residues from food or skin contact.
• Safe for many natural and synthetic fibers when used as directed.
• Works well before or after extraction cleaning to speed results.

What surfaces can I use this cleaner on inside my vehicle?

This product is designed for automotive interiors: fabric seats, carpeted flooring, fabric door panels, cloth headliners, and removable floor mats. Avoid using on unsealed leather, suede, or delicate trims without testing a hidden area first.

• Fabric and cloth upholstery and carpeting.
• Rubber or vinyl-backed floor mats when rinsed or wiped.
• Stain-prone passenger areas like trunks and cargo liners.
• Not recommended for unsealed, aniline, or nubuck leather surfaces.

How should I apply it for the best results?

Spray the foamer evenly over the stained area, allow a short dwell time, agitate gently with a soft brush, then blot or extract. For heavier stains, repeat or combine with a hot-water extractor; always test an inconspicuous spot first.

• Shake bottle, spray 6–8 inches from fabric for even coverage.
• Let foam work for 1–3 minutes, then agitate with a soft brush.
• Blot with a microfiber towel or extract with a carpet cleaner.
• Air dry or speed-dry with a fan to avoid mildew scents.

Will it leave a scent or harm interior electronics?

The cleaner leaves a light citrus fragrance that dissipates as fabrics dry; it won’t leave heavy perfumes or sticky residues when used correctly. Keep sprays away from exposed electronics, screens, and connectors—mask or cover these components before cleaning.

• Light citrus aroma reduces odors without overpowering perfume.
• No greasy residue when wiped or extracted properly.
• Protect electronics and delicate trims from direct spray contact.
• Test colors and finishes on a hidden area before broad use.
