Keeping your car clean is important, but often we overlook one of the most important parts: the seats. Not only do dirty seats smell bad, but they can also be a breeding ground for bacteria. In this blog post, we will show you how to shampoo your seats in your car in just a few easy steps.
What You’ll Need
What You’ll Need:
– Shampoo
– Washing machine
– Towel
– Bucket or large container
– Scissors or a knife
– Carpet cleaner
– Glass cleaner
How To Do It
There are a few ways to shampoo your car’s seats. You can use a bucket or even a sink.
Bucket Method:Fill a bucket with warm water and put in enough shampoo to cover the seats. Use a cloth or sponge to wet the seat, then scrub the surface with circular motions. Repeat if necessary. Be sure to rinse off all of the shampoo before putting the bucket away.
Sink Method: Wet your cloth or sponge, then add enough shampoo to cover the seats. Squeeze out any excess liquid and spread the foam over the surface of each seat. Apply pressure with your hands for a minute, then rinse off with cool water.
Tips For Success
If you’re like most people, you probably shampoo your car’s seats once every two or three months. But is that really necessary? Here are four tips for success when shampooing car seats:
1. Use a mild shampoo. Most commercial shampoos contain chemicals that can damage the fabric of your car seat. Instead, use a mild shampoo like baby soap or a diluted liquid dish soap.
2. Rinse well. Make sure to rinse the shampoo off completely so that it doesn’t leave residue on the seat.
3. Wait until the seat is dry before storing it. If you wait too long, the towel will touch the wet fabric and cause fading or unraveling.
4. Protect your car seat with a protector if you must use a cleaner other than baby soap or diluted liquid dish soap. A protector like Leak-Prevent protects against spills and messes while keeping your car seat looking new.
