Remove tennis clay from carpet

W288SH · 09-12-2024, 06:01 PM

My family plays tennis. On clay courts. I don’t. They track grey clay dust into the cars. It “stains” the carpet and any fabric their shoes touch. I’ve tried to vacuum it and wipe it off. I can’t get it out.

Help please.

Folex is a spray upholstery cleaner that works well.
For stubborn stains I make a paste of water & OxiClean, agitate, let it dry a bit & vacuum. Or you could try an aerosol carpet cleaner - spray, agitate, blot dry depending on the product's directions.

Tell your family to change their shoes before they get in the car. Other than that, any upholstery cleaner or APC should take care of it.

When I was playing tennis I had specific court shoes. Buy your family members a tennis bag for their racket and shoes.
