So shampooing is out.
It does not have side airbags - it has a side impact bar.
A Matrix is a small car so trading to a civic doesn't really makes sense. It's like trading a MacIntosh apple for a Red Delicious. Plus, at 28K miles and 3.5 years old, it's a virtual creampuff.
The kids haven't completely wrecked it; there's just ground-in dirt and stuff. No rips.
EDIT: Let me describe S. Jersey "car dirt" - it's a mixture of clay and sand and it's hard to get out that clay color that's in the black carpet.

The Matrix is classified as a compact while a pre-01 Civic is considered to be a subcompact. Book value for the Matrix is significant higher as well because Toyota products hold their value really well.
I was just making a suggestion. You don't have to sell it if you don't want to. In the end you can save probably up to $6-8k if you bought a 96-00 Civic CX/DX/LX/VP, but you don't have to if you don't want to.
If you're still set on keeping it, why don't you take it to a good upholstery place and see what they can do?
If you're local I'd show you how. It's fairly easy if you take your time.
