Go to Pep Boys/Auto Zone, and parts store, look for a carpet cleaner that has a brush mounted to the top of the bottle, it is a red bottle....i just used mine up and forget the name....but it worked great.

Just look for carpet cleaners and you will be alright

Good luck

unwrap them from the seats and take them to the cleaners, they will spray it with some non toxic stuff and get the stains out... then just rewrap them..

This sounds odd but... I saw a German Shephard get hit by a car and picked him up and put him in my back seat to take him to an animal hospital and he bled all over the place. I went to Wal Mart and got Lifter 1 and it got out all the blood, and everything else that was on the seat completely off.
ps - the dog ended up being OK too!

I used to detail cars at a Dodge dealership and we cleaned all the upholstery with a commercial steam cleaner and it would get nearly anything out. I don't know where to get a commercial steam cleaner but you can rent a steam cleaner at Wal-mart but make sure you rent the hand attachment too. I think the steam cleaner is called a rug doctor.

like the dude above said, just unwrap the fabric from the seats. It's not that difficult, it's just like a condom with metal clip thingys. If you have any helms manual for a honda/acura it has a detailed walk-through of how to remove the fabric. then u can jus tthrow it in the laundry. You probably want to air dry it though, otherwise it might shrink... but i'm not sure =P if you use some type of cleaner, the crap juice might soak into the cushion.
