Morris Minor Owners Club

I learned a useful technique today. If you are scrubbing up stubborn stains from your Minor's carpet and they just won't budge, use a squeeze of vanish liquid, rub it well in and leave it on the area for a few minutes. Then using the plastic edge of a ice scraper vigourously scrub it across the area in each direction. It works far better than a stiff brush. You can also use the scraper to remove most of the water when the piece has been rinsed thoroughly.

I just put them piece by piece in the washing machine
(the joys of being a batchellor for too long)

Pete, did they scrub up alright then.

They did indeed mate. The only stubborn areas were around the gearstick gaitor and where the seat frames left rust marks.
I spent ages with a stiff brush but it couldn't get deep into the pile. I started using the window squeegy to help dry them out then noticed how much dirt was coming out as well even though they lookd 'clean'.

Goodoh, glad they were useable.
