How to Clean Car Seats Covered with Cloth

Car seats that are covered in fabric can get easily stained. Here’s how to clean car seats covered in cloth:

• Remove all the dirt and debris from your seats with a vacuum.
• Lightly (don’t saturate) spray down the seats with a cleaner that is designed specifically for fabric. Do not use a regular household cleaner.
• Work the cleaning solution into the fabric with a brush.
• Wipe any suds away with a microfiber cloth. Make sure to do this before the fabric dries.
• Vacuum the seats again, this time to help the seats dry more quickly.
• Let the seats dry completely before using them.
