clean car seats fabric

Fabric seats looking like a toddler’s art installation? Start by vacuuming thoroughly, then mist an upholstery cleaner (or warm water with a splash of pH‑neutral detergent) and gently agitate with a soft brush. Blot with microfibre—don’t scrub like you’re sanding a deck, and don’t soak the foam.

For stains, work from the outside in; coffee and soft drink respond to repeated blotting, while greasy spots like chips and sunscreen appreciate a dab of isopropyl alcohol. Kill smells with a light sprinkle of bicarb soda, then vacuum again, and dry quickly with windows down and fans so mould doesn’t throw a party. Always spot-test in a hidden area and avoid bleach or ammonia cocktails—your nose and fabric will thank you.
