Cloth car seats: how to clean them properly?

Simple methods for removing stains

To thoroughly clean your fabric seats, there are several methods available to get rid of encrusted stains, such as liquid or grease. Unlike leather, the fabric of your seats is not a waterproof material and stains will more easily penetrate inside the textile fibres, so it is sometimes necessary to clean them thoroughly!

If you have fabric car seats, you can proceed in several ways with products from the house: white vinegar, ammonia, soda crystals, baking soda, sparkling water, or dishwashing liquid for example … Another method is to use more powerful detergents purchased directly from the market.

Also remember to vacuum regularly to remove all the crumbs and dust that can quickly accumulate!

Clean your fabric seats regularly to avoid odors

Dust, bread crumbs, stains from drinks or grease... If nothing is done, you can quickly have bad odors that will permeate your cabin! Once the odors remain for a long time, it is all the more difficult to remove them...

Cloth car seats: how good clean them?

Needless to say, these smells will be very inappropriate for you. But if in addition you have to transport a colleague or a relative, you might as well avoid that he has the feeling of being in a dirty car.

To remove bad odors, it is absolutely necessary to avoid using products that only allow the odor to be camouflaged for a certain time. By doing so, you are not attacking the source of the problem, quite the contrary!

Steam cleaning for best results

Using steam is a great way to thoroughly clean your fabric seats and restore them to their first-day appearance. Investing in a steam engine can be expensive, but you can make other uses of it for your home: washing windows, washing the tiles, or even your sofas... So it's a double investment!

Regular steam washing therefore cleans thoroughly and ensures clean fabrics and a healthy interior for your vehicle.
