How to Clean Car Seats

It’s much easier than trying to drag your household vacuum cleaner outside. The car wash will always have a coin-operated vacuum someplace outside, very cheap to use and saves you a lot of aggravation. Watch out, though, because car wash vacuums have really strong suction, they can suck up ANYTHING. And once it goes down the hose, you aren’t getting it back.

Clean up spots, stains and spills with regular carpet and upholsery spot cleaner - I like the foaming kind with the little plastic brush attached to the can. Once you’ve treated the spots, vacuum the seats thoroughly using the hose attachment on your house vacuum. You can also sprinkle carpet powder on the seats before vacuuming to make the car smell better.

Spray-on Scotchguard is the greatest thing known to man. If you spray your cloth car seats with it, nothing you spill on the seats will make a stain. You can just wipe the spill up and it’s gone.

Don’t do this on a new car, or one with leather seats. But if you have older vinyl seats, regular household wet cleaning wipes work just as well for cleaning the seats as the expensive car-cleaning wipes do. And they also kill germs.

If your kids make sticky candy messes that harden in the back seat or in the floorboard or on the mats in your car, you can get the hardened candy off with foaming bathroom cleaner. The cleaner might leave a spot on the seat, but if you’re letting the kids have food back there you probably aren’t too worried about the seats anyway.

I like the scotchguard idea for keeping stains off. I have found that simple green works good on seats and carpet to remove stains. just spray on stain,let sit for a few minutes then scrub with a bristol or toothbrush and dry with a clean rag.

To remove scuff markes from your cars paint, do the following. Get a white cloth towel, spray any brand name hairspray on to the towel and wipe the area. The pump hairspray seems to work better.

Anything sticky that is on the painted surface of the car (tape residue, tar, etc.) can be removed by spraying it with WD40 and then wiping with a clean paper towel. Let it soak for a minute or two. For really heavy residue, a couple of applications maybe required.
