I vote steam cleaner. (Personally, I dont like the idea of that kind of wear and tear on a DA...).

Other upholstry cleaners to try: Megs Quik Out (GREAT stuff), Blue Magic, etc...

Yeah i understand...i was kinda worried that the brush might actually fray the fibers of the upholstery...at least the G100 has a lifetime warranty

Of those two? Steam cleaner. I've used Hoover Spot & Stain cleaner (Lowe's) and 409 with great success.

Definitely *not* the G-100 brush attachment... I can't find the photos with a quick search but, you should've seen what one guy did (I think it was on DC; not autopia) with a brush attachment that he 'rigged' to work on his rotary. LOL! Really... don't go that route because it **will** thrash interior carpeting *BIG time*.

My preference, if you don't have a steamer/extractor, is to go with a solid, tried and true, carpet cleaner like Blue-Magic (EXCELLENT STUFF AND CHEAP!) and an interior carpet brush (hand brush). Spray on, work in with brush in a gentle fashion, then use a wet towel to begin to work out of the residual carpet cleaner. Allow to dry. Once dry, dress with the carpet brush and add your 'signature' into the carpet nap (plush).
