How do I clean between car seats?

My kids have made such a mess of the seats of my SUV. How do I clean between car seats to get out all of their crumbs and debris?

Kids can wreak havoc on a car’s interior! With the proper tools, you can get into those hard-to-reach places between your car seats and clear them of the mess.
First, remove any large items or trash that you can reach without any special tools.
Then, use compressed air to dislodge smaller particles. You can buy this in a can at auto parts stores or use an air compressor that plugs into the wall. Blow the air into the seat tracks and the space where the seats meet the floor of your vehicle. Once smaller particles are blown out, you can suck them up with a vacuum cleaner.
Attach a crevice tool to your vacuum hose. Use this to go back in between the seats and suck up the remaining debris that may still be stuck between the seats. If you can, move the seats forwards and backward to allow for easier access under and around them.
And bam! The space in between your car seats is clean. Wasn’t that easy? Almost as easy as getting free personalized
