I've cleaned some pretty dirty seats with good results. I find using a
pressure washer to rinse them after scrubbing with a strong soap solution
and scrub brush to work very well. They dry best in the sun after vacumming.
The thorough rinse getts any oders that may be lingering out of them. The
same procedure workes for carpets also in or out of the car.
