Instructions

For Cloth Seats

  • Vacuum seats thoroughly.
  • Mix ¼ cup of vinegar with a cup of water in a spray bottle and lightly mist cloth seats. Wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.

For Leather Seats

  • Combine a teaspoon of dish soap with about one cup of water.
  • Dip a microfiber cloth in the soap mixture and gently wipe the seats clean. (test a small area out of sight first)
  • Wipe again with just plain water, and then wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Notes

I’ve included step-by-step images in the post above for visual guidance.
To get stains out of car seats, simply follow the steps above, but let the mixture soak for about 5 minutes on the stain before gently scrubbing clean.
