Seat cleaner

Need to clean my front seats from various stains (not the biological kind)

any recommendations on a brand?

thanks

 

Tuff Stuff! Yellow can $3-4. Spray it on entire seat, let sit for a minute, use a damp microfiber/towel to clean, let dry. repeat if necessary.

 

You may also get a more detailed response if you put the over in the "detailing" section on the home page.

 

Start with a good vacuuming of the seats to remove all loose debri. I use an all purpose cleaner (Simple Green) in a spray bottle, mist the fabric lightly, and work it into the fabric with a white drill brush in my battery drill. Then I use the hand tool on my mini carpet cleaner to flush the fabric with clean water and vacuum the liquid out of the seats. It works great. This method of cleaning seat fabric is very common amount detailers. No need to purchase specailty cleaning products.

 

Here's a video that shows the basics, but don't soak the seat the way this guy does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWAce9HFxO8

 

Used this method on heavily soiled seats and they looked like new afterward.

Everybody's got their opinions, "Purple Power" great stuff, cleans all sorts of things, including seats.

 

I've had good success with 409 Carpet spray. You can see the foam turn brown as it lifts the dirt. You can wipe it off or let it dry and vacuum.

 

I tried to clean mine last summer and it seams for me at least you have to clean the whole seat to get a uniformed look. Otherwise you get spots .i did try dawn and really hot water in a spray bottle and it cleaned some spots but wasn’t happy with the way it looked . I ended up taking it to a local detailer and he did all my seats and my doors for $60 . For me at least it was worth it.

Good advice. Pro will probably have a good extractor, better than a home unit.

 

thanks all!

A cheap drill brush and a home style extractor/steam cleaner will do 95% of what the pros do.
