what is the best way to clean nasty cloth seats in my car?

Answer 1

Clean out your car and bring some plastic sheets or dry bathroom towels with you. Go to the car wash and WASH the seats down. And while you are at it you might as well wash the carpets. You use the soap cycle to wash them down and the carpet, and the door panels too if they are dirty. Then go to the rinse cycle and start from the seats, do the carpets next then the panels. Guaranteed to work or my name aint Tom Cruise. lol I did this for my vehicle. But i forget to cover the headliner. I used soapy water and a sponge to clean it though. The seats came out clean. I did this though on my Ford Explorer with leather seats. The washing left them super clean. I left the doors open to dry the carpet out though.

Now you can also just get a plastic brush with soapy water, clean water, and a sponge to clean the seats too. Either way, after you finish spray the cloth seats with Scotch Guard. But it at Wal-mart, or another store. Puts a protection on the seats.

Upholstery cleaner is available, but to me the soapy water works just as good.

I forgot, if you do use the car wash, then go to the vacuum cleaner and use it to suck up the water from the seats and carpets. Now if the Vacuum canister starts to overflow from water then leave before the car wash guy comes around. LOL They do not like people doing this. Of course you can do it late at night when they are not around. Vacuuming the carpets will get most of the water out. It is unorthordox, but it is a great way to clean carpets and cheaper too.
