Title: Upholstery Cleaner ?
Post by lesterlad aka Rodders on Sep 4^th, 2010, 12:23pm

I have been instructed to prepare my daughters car (Fiat ::) ) for selling, the biggest problem I'm having is the rear seats which are covered with ingrained mucky paw prints from her dog, I have tried a solution of laundry liquid with no success.

Can anyone recommend a good upholstery cleaner ?

Edit:
Just tried "Vanish" upholstery cleaner and that's useless as well

Stupid as it sounds but just try a plain old bar of soap and a scrubbing brush. You will be amazed at what it can shift. Lee

Rodders.
That foaming stuff you can get from motorists shops seems to wash the muck through the fabric with the aid of a nail brush,at least I think that's where it goes ::) failing that,tell her to get some cheap seat covers ;)

Using upholstery cleaners to try & get a seat looking really nice are in my experience, a waste of time....you really need to wet the seat with soap & then suck the dirt out using a wet vac.

I used to have an early MK3 Mondeo with cream cloth seats that would stain so bad, that just a few drops of rain water coming through the open door would make it look like someone had wet themselves on the seat ::)

I tried all the various foam cleaners etc & none would get them looking nice again.....So I ended up buying a Bissel carpet cleaner with upholstery attachments off Ebay for £30......a bargain ;).....it had the seats looking like new :D
