Thats exactly what I did with my GSR cloth seats, I bought a Bissel steam vac, the one that also heats up the water through the hose and use the hose attachment. I was surprised at all the dirt that came out. They were so much cleaner and smelt a whole lot better.

Oxy cleaner (any brand) plus Bissle Little Green Machine = win.

Make sure you vacuum them first. I usually brush them too, so the dust comes out of them.

x2 but the steam cleaner def helps. They're del sol seats and they're thin just take'em out and pressure wash them at the car wash

Don't let them stay too wet because it will encourage mold growth. Mold is difficult to get rid of.

Either of these will do the trick, like NOFX said be sure not to let them stay wet.

You can also pick up a SHARK steam cleaner at Target for rather cheap...

My LGM was only about $80 from Target. It works great around the house too.

$80 isnt a bad price at all. I have thought about picking one up to clean my interior myself... during the summer my windows are always down so who knows how much dirt has collected on my seats.
