Upholstery cleaning

[Deleted User]

Hi guys,
What routine/products etc. can you recommend me for basic upholstery cleaning? Possibly even the door cards

I used to have access to a wet vacuum and that used to be great but a full clean put the seats out of commission for about 2 days! I just have a few localised stains and marks that I'd like to have a go at getting rid of.

Thanks.

I spray upholstery cleaner before every vacuum.

For the sake of £20 or so, i'd be getting your local valeters to do the seats for you. You'll spend as much or more on potions to do the job and invariably they wont work as well.

System

I use foam cleaner but most importantly MICROFIBRE CLOTHS for removing the dirt.

Spray on foam, rub in with a brush, wipe off with microfibre cloth.

I'm reluctant to use the wet vacuums because it wrecks the foam inserts in the seat over time.

Four different methods...

Get some APC, something like Bilt Hamber Surfex HD will last you an age and as it's dilutable can be used for a multitude of tasks.

Spray on and use a small upholstery brush or microfibre cloths.

Autoglym Upholstery Cleaner everytime for me, it really works. Use the method described above (spray, rub in with brush, then wipe using cloth with warm water).

Then once dried, if you really want to do it like the pros, spray some of this over them:

Job done.
