Car fabric and upholstery cleaners are specialized formulas (surfactants) designed to safely clean cloth seats and carpets. Use these cleaners to break down and lift common stains like coffee, food, and dirt without oversaturating the foam. This guide outlines the correct process for stain removal.
Follow this process for most common stains.
Vacuum the area first to remove all loose dirt and debris. This prevents you from rubbing grit into the fabric.
Test the cleaner on a small, hidden spot (like under the seat) to check for colorfastness.
Spray the cleaner lightly onto the stain. Avoid oversaturating the area, which can soak the foam underneath and lead to mildew.
Agitate the cleaner with a soft upholstery brush or microfiber towel. Work from the outside of the stain inward to prevent it from spreading.
Blot (do not rub) the area with a clean, dry microfiber towel to absorb the cleaner and the lifted stain. Allow the area to air dry completely.
For deep, set-in stains or strong odors, a simple spray and wipe may not be enough.
For heavily soiled interiors, use a hot water extractor (carpet cleaner). Fill the machine with the appropriate upholstery solution. Spray the solution onto the fabric and pull the extractor wand slowly to suck the dirty water out of the material.
Stains from milk, pets, or food often leave odors. Use an enzyme-based odor eliminator after cleaning. Lightly mist the enzyme spray and allow it to air dry; it works by breaking down the organic source of the smell.
Let me start off by saying I love all the products they car from Auto Detail to 360! I met Robert back in March when I started working for Wondries! I had used the 360 Brazilian mist before and I never knew he owed the place! I started talking to him more about other products they also carry. I completely switched over from chemical guys to Auto Detail and 360 ! That was the best decision I could have ever Made ! I highly recommend using them VERY FRIENDLY AND FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS !!!!
I loved this place! The girl who helped me behind the counter was very nice and very informative. She helped answer all of my questions. She even recommended a few things. I purchased a 150 gallon water tank and the boss (I assume he was the boss), was very helpful in helping me load it in the truck.
