[Shotimes] Cleaning carpets

[Ian Fisher]

Ha-Us purists remove the seats when we clean our
carpets. :)

In all seriousness, it's a good idea to do this at
some point. You may also want to paint the seat
tracks, especially where they bolt to the floor. Many
SHO's have rust spots on the carpet from rusty seat
tracks.
