Best way to clean seat upholstery?

Featured Replies

Hiya, I have just ordered a new Fiesta ST-Line and so I am going to be looking to sell my Ka soon.  The front seats are not dirty by any means, but have some liquid stains on them.  I have been reading up on how is best to clean them and I've now got a headache!!! So many different strong opinions on what is best.  Some people say you cannot just clean one specific area as it will show up as another mark, others say just use carpet cleaner, some say use laundry detergent and there's no need to dry etc.  Please could somebody advise what is best to do for removing liquid stains in various areas on the seat.  I am not fussed about how long it will take etc, just want to know the best way. Thanks in advance! :o) 



if you have a wet/dry vac then buy a foam upholstery cleaner apply the foam all over the seat then use a plastic fiber brush the agitate the dirt then apply hot water with a cloth all over the seat then vac it all away and allow to dry. you can use a carpet cleaner if you dont have a foam spray just apply the carpet cleaner diluted in a spray bottle or

buy an upholstery cleaner from your local pound shop as they will sell it ad use the application of it then hot water then vac it away.

if you dont have a wet/dry vac then its down to elbow grease like i use and plenty of clean cloths

remember the first thing to do is to vac the whole seat prior to applying anything .

Poundland Vanish stain remover - comes in a tub - mix it with water - hey presto gleaming clean.

Easier with a wet/dry vac as Del says , if not then some elbow grease.

Home Bargains sell a very good steam cleaner nozzle thing £14.99 that steams the marks out but it needs plugged into the mains and refilled a few times!
