If the slow buildup of things in your car doesn’t smash and dirty your car seats, maybe it’s more controversial — like a spilled cup of coffee or your child’s leftover cereal.
You have come to the right place. We have 6 steps to return your car seats to the fate they deserve.
1- You will need to remove everything that may seem unwanted or block your vacuum cleaner, which we will remove in the next step.
2- It’s time to suck out all those fine crumbs, loose hair and dust particles. Make sure to get into all the little nooks and crannies, which you can definitely use the hand attachment in your vacuum cleaner. Don’t forget to get in between the seat backs and the bottoms. When it comes to vacuuming your seats, use your spare hand to separate the seams in the cloth so that you can use the other hand to press down firmly on the vacuum, sucking up everything you can’t see.
3- Spray a light coat of fabric cleaner on any area that needs more attention, such as coffee stains or muddy prints. Be sure to follow the directions on the label, but usually four or five sprays are enough to saturate the area without overdoing it (excessive mist can cause bad odors and mold that are worse than the stain itself).
4- After spraying, use a brush to vigorously loosen the soiled particles in your seats. When finished, we recommend using a microfiber cloth to wipe up any dirty foam. The softer fibers are more absorbent than regular towels and unlike paper products, they don’t leave behind a trail of lint. Use as many new microfiber cloths as you need to so you don’t reintroduce any of the dirt into the seat.
5- It may take multiple times of spot-treating spray, rubbing with a brush, and wiping dry with your microfiber towels to fully realize the cleaning effect you want. Be patient and repeat the process until the spots are gone.
6- Clean any of the affected areas once more to suck out any remaining dirt particles. This also helps dry the sprayed areas, which is an important step because a damp cloth can cause mildew and cause an unwanted odor later on.
