      Lol. It will likely be a joke that it's never two minutes... But close to two minutes and fast paced videos. Intro outro don't count lol.

    Can you let me know where you got the music? It’s a sampled track of a famous jazz tune called ‘a day in the life’. Btw I came for the cleaning video which was very helpful.

      Honestly I have no idea. I find random songs on TH-cam! I don't monotize videos so I use whatever I find.

    The guitar melody in the track playing is taken from a Jeff Beck song!

    Hello, I have a question: How can I clean a carpet-type fabric dashboard?

    • @STATUSDETAIL
      @STATUSDETAIL  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If it's alcantara then you can check out this video and some of my other videos.
      If you have a dashboard that's literally made of the same kind of fabric that's on your floor that I'm not entirely sure what you would do. When you want to deep clean something like that you carpet extract it but that might be difficult on a dashboard. If it's just plain old fabric I suppose you could use a laundry detergent diluted in the water and lots of towels. Depends what your goal is and what you're trying to clean if you just need to vacuum it then vacuum. If you stains are bad smells then I would use some kind of cleaner.

    I have dirty Alcantara seat inserts on a Mercede from my work pants. Would you say using a Bissle extractor would be ok to properly clean, Before putting a seat cover on for future ?

    • @STATUSDETAIL
      @STATUSDETAIL  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have another video on my channel about deep cleaning alcantara. It's pretty recent!
      Give that a watch.
      An extractor in theory could work but if it's really gummed up and stuck together I'd try my video method first. Once the fibers are freed up the extractor step could be more effective.
      To really deep clean alcantara you need agitation and a cleaner to soften and loosen the dirt stuck to the alcantara. Then a dry towel to pull all the junk out.

      Not going to lie. I had to Google that to fully understand and be able to reply in confidence.
      Yes this method will work in that situation too. Be very careful to not get the surface damp or wet. Your just kinda tickling the top of the fibers with the brush and a spray or two into the brush. A detail factory brush is even more gentle too. You could also spray leather cleaner into a microfiber then gently rub that across the surface.
      ALSO... Lol. You can legitimately mix/dilute water and tide. Afterall it's one of the best fabric cleaners made. Mix it light, as in lots of water and little tide.

    Alcantara is not leather, it’s fabric. I think better use a fabric detergent, gentle enough for alcantara
