Cleaning fabric seats
James - 19/7/06 at 11:07 AM

So, I've bought a set of seats that are totally impractical for this type of car and have so far been a nightmare to fit. Oh, and were also quite expensive.

To keep them nice I've kept them mostly inside the house.

How pleased I am to discover that one of the cat's has pissed in one of them!

Any ideas on a good cleaning product to sort it out? The smell is quite over-powering!

Cheers,
James

Jet wash them, then leave them somewhere warm to dry.

Don't now where in this wether!

I second the pressure-washer idea, works well unless the fabric is old and worn

James,

You could always pressure washer the cat!! It'll make you feel better if nothing else!!

Any proprietary upholstery cleaner and then spray with 'Oust' or 'Fabreeze' to kill any residual odour.


Krismc - 19/7/06 at 04:35 PM

yea seriously i would just wet the seat and put my wet and dry vac hoover on them, if you aint got one the take the seats to ya local jet wash place most of the 'arc' 'imo' jet washes round here have a hoover for 60p a shot and the can take water!

now is that locost enough for ya??


wilkingj - 19/7/06 at 06:36 PM

Locost option is to p*ss on the other seat so they smell the same... then its well ballanced

But if you pi$$ in the other seat you'll need to eat cat food for a week to get the right smell. Other wise you'll have two different smells of pi$$

I thought it was me that pointed it out to you It was the stained mark on the squab that gave it away

James,

I hope you not expecting to impress the ladies in this are ya? Mate this motor of yours is going to hum, it ain't going to do yer street cred any good!!

I bought some mousse stuff in an aerosol which cleans and deodorised fabric upholstery from the local £1 shop and was surprised how well it works. Spray it on and then let it froth up, scrub it in with a nailbrush and leave it to dry then hoover it. It worked on dog accident on carpet and on van seats.
edit :- Simoniz Dri-Clean. get down the pound shop and clear them out.

If you can't get the stain out invest in some of these LINKY
