Carpet Cleaning with Shaving Cream

Not sure if any of you have seen all the videos showing folks using shaving cream to clean their boat carpet so I thought I’d share my experience with using it. I tried it today and want to say it worked great. I used Barbasol Original Shaving Cream. I lightly dampened the carpet first, applied shaving cream all over carpet, brushed it in with a scrub brush and let it dry for about an hour. Then I used a carpet cleaner with hot water to go over the carpet and remove shaving cream. I actually went over all the carpet twice to make sure I got it all out. Unbelievable just how much crud was removed. Carpet looks better than it has in years and smells good too! I have a Ranger 681VS that’s around 18’ long and it took me 2.5 cans of shaving cream. I was skeptical at first but it worked wonders on mine. Just thought I’d share the way I spent a cold dreary day!

Thanks really cool! Never heard this but now I wanna try it haha! Did you happen to take before and after pictures?

No, like a dummy I didn’t think about it until I was finishing up. I can tell you it really brought back the color. I always vacuum my boat out after each trip but I guess over a period of time there is more crud that’s down in the fibers than you’d think.

That's cool. Never heard of this either. I wonder how it would do on the foam type deck material, like seadeck. I'll have to keep it in mind for sure. Thank you for sharing.

Very cool

Sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing

interesting , sounds like a nice idea

Gonna remember this one.

I keep mine fairly clean but maybe a deep clean is due.
