How to Clean Car Seats?

Answer 1

Most of us take pride in the appearance of the exterior of our car since it's so visible says a good deal about us. Unfortunately, for many people that same sort of vanity doesn't carry over to the interior of their car. How many times have you been in someone's car and it looks like a mini tornado recently swept through the interior? You certainly don't want your car to give off that same impression to anyone who may ride with you, so it essential that you regularly clean your floor mats, dashboard and, most importantly, your seats. Nothing is less appealing than a car with dirty or stained seats, and few things drag down the resale value of an automobile as quickly, either. Below are some tips on how you can clean your car's seats:

• First, you need to vacuum your car's seats to suck up any loose dirt or residue before you attempt to remove any stains. If you have a car vacuum cleaner then all you have to do is simply hook up the proper attachment to the nozzle and begin cleaning your seats. If you don't have a car vacuum cleaner, you can use the vacuum cleaner you use inside your home to clean your seats by hooking up the hose attachment.
• Once the seats are free of all loose dirt and trash, it's time to remove any spots or stains that may be visible, especially on cloth seats. You can start by dipping a cloth is soapy water and wiping off each seat's fabric. You should focus primarily on spots or stains while doing this to attempt to remove as much as possible before using a cleaning agent.
• With the cleaning agent of your choice, spray a small amount on each spot or stain and use a damp cloth to get as much of it as possible to come out. Don't rub too hard or you may ruin the fabric.
• Rinse your cloth in clear water and wipe away any residue from the seats that were just washed.

It's not always possible to remove stains and spots from cloth seats, so it's best to prevent them from ever getting there in the first place. To do so, avoid eating or drinking in your car and don't put things on your seats, such as grocery bags, that may leave stains. That's what your trunk is for. You can always pay to have your car's interior professionally cleaned, but that is quite expensive so you should at least attempt to clean your car's seats by yourself first.
