Cleaning REALLY dirty interiors

I just cleaned 2 cars this weekend inside and out as sort of a side-job thing and these cars were super dirty inside- frech fries,cheetos, crayon, some sort of blue candy stuck everywhere and all that. Before I could even clean anything I had to remove all the crumbs and dried up who knows what so I used a bucket of water and just used a wet cloth to wipe all the majority of the crud out as I could before I could do anything else like magic eraser.

Question- what method/ cleaners do you use in such situation?

EWWWW, what kind of parents are feeding these bambinos in the car? That's a tough one, that depends, if it something stained, i would use Spot Shot they used for carpeting stain removal. Of course, like you said, vaccuming it first and what's left need to be done by hand, such as removing stain, let say you have gum on the carpeting, I would use Goo Gone, it will remove the gum. It's that orange little bottle but they do work.

You might also try the Mr. Clean magic eraser on ligher surfaces. Many have had great results.

For carpets you may want to invest in an extractor if you plan on doing this for a while.
