Cleaning my Seats - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #27065 8 posts Started by JoKeRkId613
Hey, I just bought some 7GC seats and I need some help. They came real dusty and dirty because I bought it from a junky. Now I need to know what's the best way to clean seats. Is there any way to wash them? They're out of my car right now, obviously. Lol. Thanks. O yea, and they're black and blue so I don't want any color to fade when I wash em. Thanks again!

agreed. Your best bet is to rent a small steam cleaner from Home Depot or somewhere and clean them up.

Perfect. Thanks for the suggestion guys. And all I do is steam clean them and that's it? Just with the water? Or do I add something else to it or what? Like what would be the procedure? I've never steam cleaned anything before.
Rent a small steam cleaner. Most involve some kind of cleaning agent, so vaccuming them out before and after you steam clean is a good idea.

However, any rental should come with instructions.

Watch how hot you let it get, since we are talking about synthetic fabrics. If it's a direct spout metal tip, don't touch it to the fabric if you can help it.
off topic: how much did you pay for them? i might look into that in the near future...
you could also use a carpet/upholstery shampooer. I used my parents shampooer when I bought my car, it'll put the soapy water in and suck all the water back out of the seats. Made the car look a million times better inside.
