is it vinyl or fabric? if its vinyl i used some armor all and a good scrub brush and mines clean as new.
butif its fabric you probably dont want to to a whole lot because its going to come loose and start to sag. maybe a toothbrush and some sort or carpet cleaner would be perfect if you scrub lightly!! turtle wax makes some decent carpet cleaner its called oxy out or something like that

oh and also if you can get your hands on some foam glass cleaner they use at dealerships in their detailing dept., get that because it works wonders on carpet stains.
