Antifreeze in carpet - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Paul Workman · 08-02-2008

Yep..The heater core took a dump and now the carpet on the passenger side is soaked w/ 50/50 "green stuff" antifreeze.

My inclination is to flood it with distilled water a few times and evacuate it with my shop vac, for starters. But, should I uses something else instead of distilled water? (I figured enough distilled water would dilute the solution pretty well, as a starting point. The carpet is (was) in perfect condition, so I'd like to salvage it if possible...IF possible (key words).

What say y'all??

TIA,

P.
