Passenger side carpet smells like a mf, like some spilt milk or something. So naturally I wanna remove and deep clean it, question, is a drill brush and extractor the best method? Can G101 remove the smell, and at what ratio? Need recommendations for a safe drill brush for carpet too
 
Yes, I also use a a drill brush and extractor, and they're effective for a deep clean and odor removal!
Get a drill brush with softer bristles and specific for automotive carpet so you don't damage the fibers.
You can find good options at Chemical Guys!
G101 can definitely take care of the smell.
I'd recommend a 1:10 dilution with warm water to start, and if the smell persists, you can go a bit stronger to 1:5.
Make sure to really saturate the area and give it time to work before extracting thoroughly!
You might also need a couple of passes!
 
Yeah, I agree and for drill brushes, look for soft to medium bristles made for upholstery to avoid damage.
 
I've tackled that before...drill brush and extractor combo works great, you can just go gentle so you don't fray the fibers. G101 at around 1:10 usually does the trick, but follow with an enzyme cleaner for lingering odors
