Default cleaning dirty car seats

how do you guys clean dirty car seats? im planning on putting some del sol seats on mine(4G4D), but the thing is, they're dirty. would soap and water do the trick? do you guys have any advise on what to use? my last resort would be to just re-upholster the seats if cleaning it is not possible. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I used this stuff from some local autoparts. Once a friend of mine used Simple Green and that worked too.

Take it to a pro. Trust me on this... well worth the 100 bucks. They'll do the whole car for that price.

how bad are the stains if there are any... personally the method of my choice if there arent any stains.... i would just take them off and wash them seperately and dry them in the dryer.. and you can use zip ties instead of the hog rings when you put them back


btw dont wash the whole seat with the cover one unless you want some molds to grow in your seats...

damn, my welcome mat isint that dirty. Spray a bunch of carpet cleaner on it. I'm not sure you want to soak that seat with water, all that "****" might soak in the foam padding and really stink!

I am a pro
Use dawn dish soap mixed with water and rub itnto the seats/carpet/whatever real good and make sure its real wet and soapy and scrub hard with brushes and vaccume out,I use a 6.5 HP vaccume.
Repeat as needed.

holy ****! thats dirty. if you have a shop vac use Tide and water and a scrub brush rinse with your water hose dry in sun. if that does not work u could use it as a scare crow or some **** like that.
