i3 cloth upholstery mainteance, stain removal

afadeev · 03-10-2016, 05:47 PM

Folks,

We've done a few winter trips with kids jumping in and out of the car covered in snow, which then melted leaving seats wet on occasion.
The other day I looked at seat surfaces more closely, and saw the staining/discoloration as shown in the enclosed picture.

Has anything experienced anything similar?
Any ideas on how to remedy this?

This is my first car with cloth seats in ages, and the light color of the upholstery is not doing me any favors.

TIA,
a

Bissell Spot Clean Pro. About $130 on Amazon.

Careful not to over wet the area. A little at a time.

Cannot live without it. Great for around the home too!

Had similar stains from a greasy tow truck driver. Used a $2 bottle of unscented 100% acetone nailpolish remover from Wal-Mart. Did the trick beautifully.

Acetone + Spray bottle + brush
