Arizona professional carpet cleaning

I have a set of old carpets that have been taken out of a 75 911 and would like to know if any carpet cleaning company would clean the carpets better than a dedicated automobile carpet cleaning company if there is such a thing? I am in the Phoenix area.

Any good detail shop should be able to perform an extraction and shampoo.

Since the carpets are out of the car... Yes.
Typically there are 2 choices .... An area carpet cleaning company and or an oriental / Persian rig cleaning and restoration service. They often use large machines with brushes and gentle cleaners.

That being said is it such a special car that the original carpets add significant value? Neither of the options are cheap.....

Thanks for the info. The carpets are indeed special. I was told by the author of the book on my car, way back in 2013, yes, I have been looking that long for this carpet and the bolster fabric: "Take a 1976 912E for references on what your interior looked like as the interiors were basically the same between the 912E and our Carreras. In fact, they shared the identical carpet. The carpets, for instance, aren't available anywhere but you can get them out of a 912E. If you were to ever consider restoring your car back to exactly how it left the factory I'd highly recommend buying a 912E, swapping, and selling the 912E."

Highly recommended:

McFarland’s Carpet & Rug

We have been using this company for years, they have been the dedicated cleaners for FLW carpets, Oriental rugs, Biltmore Hotel and Antique Dealers in the area.

Will be giving them a call with emphasis on the fact that these carpets are 46 years old and cannot take anything aggressive.

I would choose carpet cleaning company only because they use best cleaning machines for extracting dirt and stains from the carpet.
