I have a 2011 zx 190, some of the carpet is fluffy and some is worn down due to high traffic areas. Any recommendations for cleaning or restoring boat carpet? Carpet is in good condition but needs a little tlc

Best thing I have found is a mixture of Vinegar and Water. Hose down the carpet, mix the solution in a bucket and get a scrub brush and go to work. Once you get it all brushed rinse it off good and it should look a whole lot better. I have tried lots of products and this solution is the best to make it stand up and look new again.

Mix 1 part vinegar and 5 parts water. Soak the carpet and scrub it with a hard brush. It get's rid of all minerals from the water and makes the carpet look great. Use Resolve for any spots that don't come-out.
or
Tide with fabric softener..

I use a car wash and hold the wand about 2' above it, the pressure fluffs the carpet and you can use the spray to force dirt to the bilge.
