How to Clean or Repair Matted, Fuzzy, or Clumpy Carpet

How to remove that fuzzy look from carpet. This can be used on vehicles, home interior carpets, boats, etc. For this I am using my boat as an example. Other times as carpet ages and as it’s exposed to friction from use or is constantly cleaned, this can cause a fuzzy clumpy looking appearance such as shown here. I’ll show you a before and after in a moment as it can be a bit hard to see the difference right now. #detailing #autodetailing #carpetcleaning

Tools/Supplies Needed:
-hair trimmer
-vacuum cleaner

Procedure:
Here I am just using a regular hair trimmer, these can have various attachments to achieve whatever length you desire. For this I am using 1/4” in length, however you can experiment depending on your carpet or what your personal preference may be. My recommendation would be to start with a longer length first and then work your way down to shorter lengths. Once you cut it too short, you can’t go back.

I find it’s best to work in one direction and then in the other direction. Take your time, try not to pull the fibers or stick the depth attachments into the carpet base. This can get messy so it may be best to follow with a vacuum as you’re cutting or working in an area where the fibers can fall onto a smooth surface if the carpeted area is removable.

Again I’m doing the same procedure for the opposite panel. Taking my time, working in multiple directions.

Once done, then follow up with a vacuum to remove those loose cut fibers. Again work in multiple directions. This will greatly clean up the aesthetics of the carpet along with its feel.

After that these panels are then ready to be reinstalled in my boat.
