How to remove deep stains

01

Pre treat the surface

Spray the surface with a generous amount of carpet cleaning solution, or all purpose cleaner.  Let sit for several minutes.

03

Use a fabric protector [optional]

When seats are completely clean, apply fabric protectant such as Scotchgard™ or similar solution. A couple of layers of protectants will help repel stains and build up in the future.

02

Agitate surface

After several minutes, use a scrub brush and agitate the surface in a circular motion until stain is pulled out.

04

Steam cleaning [optional]

Optionally, use a steam cleaner or extractor to assist with the cleaning. Steam will help loosen up stains that's have been built up for a long time.
