Cleaning Cloth Seats

Vacuuming cloth seats regularly and quickly wiping down the seats with a damp cloth to remove dirt, debris, spills, and pet hair should keep the seats looking new.

For resistant or greasy stains, spray a small amount of upholstery cleaner on the stain, work it in with a small scrub brush, and let it sit for fifteen minutes prior to wiping it up. For larger areas, start at the top of the stained area so any dirty solution drips down. Follow any product label directions about diluting the cleaner prior to use.

If seats are deeply soiled, clean in multiple rounds or, if possible, remove the seat covers and wash them in a washing machine.
