Most aviation carpet is 85 lb count the ones that are less you have to be very careful in cleaning so you do not damage them. When spraying led lights with cleaner you must be careful otherwise you can get yourself into an electrical issue. Often spot stain remover or moist towels with cleaner on them are best. Most small spots are merely Pepsi or coffee stains and come off relatively easy, the less you use a tool to clean inside an aircraft the better. Be also careful to ask manufacturer before treating with Scotch-Guard, it can cause problems and some of the various products of this type are flammable.

FAR 25.853b talks about carpet treatments and flammability, check it out if you are unsure before using an off shelf Home Depot name Brand household product.

FAA Advisory Circular 23-2 also has some things to be said and information references from former NTSB reports of incidents. Another issue we take seriously is the problem of gold plated seat buckles, ashtray covers, etc. Strong cleaners can remove the coating. Also a problem with ink stains on leather, it is not wise to use strong cleaners or chemicals on such stains. Many of the leather dye types are very light. Discoloration is all too easy.
