Noticed lately Woolite can be used for a few things on the interior.

Could people that use this stuff give some opinions of how well it cleans and finishes(residue? sticky?) and how they use it(process, dillution ratio) And how they think it stacks up against other cleaners, such as DP total interior cleaner?

Thanks.

I use 10:1 for heavy carpet cleaning. Also for soiled leather and upholstery. 15:1 for light carpet cleaning and I've even done interior panels with it. It leaves everything clean smelling too.

It's what Cadilac recommends for their leather.
 
I usually run a dilution of 1:6 to 1:10... and use it on everything :). Carpets, plastic, vinyl, leather, etc. If I run into a very diry interior, I'll wipe everything down with the Woolite to cut through the grime first and then follow up with a cleaner / protectant like Meguiar's #40.
 
I use Woolite for leather and plastic cleaning. Works very well!
 
I use it 10:1... I use it for everything above and I would add headliners as well.

Do you find it that Woolite suds too easily on carpets or too difficult to remove without rinsing? How do you apply and remove it - wet/dry vac?
 
I find it works best on a damp towel on headliner.
 
I usually use it 8 to 1. If you are getting to much suds , you are spraying on to much. A spray brush and wipe should do it, somethimes repeat. For leather you can use a brush,Magic Eraser, or a white 3m pad. For carpets use a brush or towel , for seats use a towel maybe a brush on spots. Do not soak. If you use an extracter there shouldnt be much to extract.
 
I use Woolite to wash my MF towels. I follow the wash step with a good rinsing . Towels come out quite clean. washing is done using the same procedure as when washing a woolen sweater. I use one or two caps full of woolite in a sink basin to wash the MF towels.

Woolite 8:1 on carpets, cloth seats, headliners. Cloth seats and headliners I'll spritz on a damp MF first, then wipe. Everything else gets DP Interior Cleaner or 303 Cleaner 30:1.
I've never viewed the different products as one better than the other for all situations. Each seems to have its stonger areas, and more cost effective for some apps.

So for fabric and carpet you like woolite more? And DP for stuff like vinyl and plastics?

Anyone use both DP total interior cleaner and Woolite on leather? Which did you like more?
 
It'd be nice(r) if those that quote a ratio give us a clue what number is first - Woolite or Water? One Poster says 10:1, another 1:6 or 1:10...
I would imagine that 10:1 or 15:! would leave a soapy film; you can vacuum up the excess, but I would imagine that doesn't prevent soiling... so after a few applications, there's a lot of soap, and after evaporation, not much water... so it would get sticky/yucky (a highly technical term)/cruddy sooner...
Just my thoughts...
 
:( I can only find the Woolite for dark wash in Canada. It is called Zero.

NVM I know where to get it now.
 
DP total interior dries up 100% leaving the carpet nice and soft, not a dried soapy feeling. Thats why I use it on interior carpet. Woolite is only used on carpet mats that can be rinsed. If DP isnt strong enough for the other interior surfaces, then I might try Woolite 8:1 or 10:1. But DP has taken care of everything so far.
