Seat cleaning

Anyone ever remove their seat and pressure washed it?

Big bbq sauce spill! Got most of it out but still a stain. Any tricks to this?

 

Use a bissell green machine and let it dry thoroughly before putting back in the truck.


Don't power wash it. That has potential of wrecking the seat fabric and/or driving water into places you don't want.

 

+2 I would not use a power washer. I picked up one of these dirt cheap on sale one day, just use it for detailing and it works pretty well for the price. You can leave the seats in, or not, it's just 4 bolts and disconnect the harness easy enough to pop them out. Since you're doing the seats you're gonna might as well do the carpet and it's easier with the seats out. Just leave your windows down for a good day, or I've taken a normal house plug in dehumidifier, ran an extension cord into the truck/car, rolled the windows up, and let that crank away to pull the moisture out.

Another vote for the bissell, it has removed every fast food stain my kids ever left. Highly recommend their cleaning solution as well. Spray in with a pump sprayer (diluted), then drill brush, then bissell it off.

 

No need to spend money on a shampooer. Use an automotive upholstery cleaner, scrub it with a brush then use your wet/dry shop vac to clean the fluids out. There’s not gonna be enough liquid to hurt your air filter but you can remove the air filter if you’re worried about it.

 

Ive used this method with good success. I leave the windows cracked for a few days afterwards and haven't had any adverse results.

 

when you're done cleaning, run the truck with the doors closed, heater on blast and windows cracked.

run it until you no longer see condensation on the windows
