Well, I decided to try using just water with a little Dawn soap and a brush. No luck...now my seat looks like someone spilled coffee all over it....The more water I put on it...the more "Brown" juice that comes out. I think it's the foam underneath that is making the seats turn brown. Anyone else ever had this problem...the exact same problem? I am going to rent one of those carpet cleaner machines this weekend with a sofa cleaning attachment and see what happens...maybe if i just run enough water into the seat and then suck it out...it will dilute the brown stuff. Not sure that I could make the seat look any worse...If that doesn't work...Im taking the garden hose and soaking the stupid things....i'll wash them until they are clean if it's the last thing i do!!! Sorry had to vent...never had such a problem before cleaning car upholstery. Do you guys think that hosing the seats down will ruin them? I plan on doing it in the morning and then setting them outside in the sun all day to dry. I would think this would be ok. Any thoughts? Thanks for all your replies...you guys rock! later, jesse 89 Vanagon with one brown seat : ¬ ( |
