    :rolleyes: I ban all food in my car! so a quick hoover is fine for my toddlers.
    Sounds like a soap and water job!
    Just a thought! if the children are in car seats-can you not take the covers off to wash!
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.

    My ex OH was in the motor trade and they used to use biological washing powder in the hottest water you could stand wearing rubber gloves. It used to make the upholstery come up like new. HTH

    Hello again!
    Stardrops is a concentrated all round cleaner, 600ml. Cleans inside and out without dulling or scratching!It is a bit like flash! but soaps up realy well.Everyone on MSN shouts about it! Read Stardrops, I have seen the light... I bought my bottle in Wilkingsons but I think a lot of supermarkets sell it.
    Best wishes...:beer: :j :beer: :j

  • Need some ideas on how to battle my disgusting car seats which have had all sorts of drink etc spilt on them over time so that they are stained with water marks etc.

    Its a light colour fabric and want to do a car valet of some sort as picking friends up from the airport on Sunday and don't expect them to see a nice clean car on the outside and scummy seats on the inside.

    Ideas on how to tackle this please.

    Hi :D
    I used some special fabric seat foam cleaner purchased from Halfords. It worked a treat but I did read somewhere that you could try a mild solution of detergent taking care not to saturate the seat (otherwise they'll go mouldy:rolleyes: ).
